ABSTRACT
Drug refractory atrial flutter (AF) with secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) and pulmonary valvular stenosis was treated by surgical correction and intraoperative radiofrequency (RF) current ablation. Supraventricular arrhythmia, especially AF, is frequently found in aged patients with ASD. Perioperative managements for this arrhythmia were difficult because of drug refractoriness. We performed this ablation combined with intracardiac corrections, and sinus rhythm has been maintained without any drugs for 18 months. This case indicated that RF current ablation during open-heart surgery is useful and safe method of treatment of AF.
