Study Summary

This trial will evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of performing atrial flutter ablation through the arm vs. the standard femoral vein approach. #MedicalStudy #AtrialFlutter

Who is the study for?
This trial is for outpatients weighing at least 50 kg with documented typical atrial flutter, referred for right atrial flutter ablation. It's not open to inpatients, those unable to consent, individuals under 50 kg, or patients with a pacemaker or defibrillator with transvenous leads.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of performing atrial flutter ablation through the arm instead of the femoral vein. It compares recovery time, success rates of maintaining sinus rhythm without recurrence, complication rates including bleeding and heart issues, and pain severity at insertion sites between both methods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include complications from accessing veins such as bleeding or thrombosis (clotting), heart perforation during the procedure, discomfort at the site where catheters are inserted into the body (either arm or groin), and possible failure to maintain normal heart rhythm post-procedure.
