“…Atrial flutter in cardiac allograft recipients is fairly common 1 . These arrhythmias may occur in the immediate postoperative period, with acute rejection or with transplant vasculopathy 2–4 . In stable cardiac allograft recipients, atrial flutter is usually cavotricuspid isthmus dependent, whereas left atrial perimitral flutters are distinctly unusual.…”

Perimitral atrial flutter in cardiac allograft recipients is uncommon. In general, mitral isthmus ablation can be quite challenging in all patients with perimitral flutter, including the subset of patients who present following left atrial ablation for atrial fibrillation. We report 2 cases where an anterior ablation line was easily performed to eliminate perimitral flutter and produce bidirectional block.
