Catheter ablation of typical right atrial flutter in a 20‐day‐old neonate with tachycardiomyopathy

Abstract

BackgroundFetal echocardiography can diagnose neonatal atrial flutter, which can cause heart failure in newborns. Little is known about catheter ablation in this population.MethodsCase report that aimed to review a successful ablation in a 20‐day‐old patient with refractory atrial flutter.ResultsThis is the first report of a successful neonatal atrial flutter ablation without any early recurrence after the procedure.ConclusionsAtrial flutter ablation performed on newborns is a reliable and long‐lasting treatment option.
