Summary:[...]a high proportion of patients with typical lone persistent Atrial Flutter (AFL) have recurrent episodes of Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Post procedural anticoagulation strategy must be revised face to these results and finally, it would be wise to perform both CTI and LA ablation in patients presenting with lone AFL and left atrium enlargement.
