Catheter radiofrequency ablation is an evolving field that offers a viable solution for patients with recurrent arrhythmias. While the procedure boasts a high success rate for various atrial arrhythmias, especially atrial flutter, it has significant risks. Diagnosing and managing atrial flutter can vary significantly depending on the flutter type and circuit direction. Therefore, it is crucial to thoroughly understand proper anatomy, techniques, and risks associated with the procedure. Additionally, informing patients about these potential risks before intervention is prudent. This ensures that patients clearly understand the possible complications and can make informed decisions regarding their treatment. This activity focuses on the indications, contraindications, and procedural techniques involved in atrial flutter ablation, highlighting the importance of an interprofessional team in delivering comprehensive care to patients undergoing this procedure.
