ABSTRACT
This report describes a case of isthmus-dependent atrial ï¬utter ablation by the femoral approach in a 54-year-old woman with a previously unknown absence of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and dual chamber pacemaker. Despite looping of the catheters, ablation and termination of atrial ï¬utter were performed successfully without function alteration of the pacemaker leads. This is the ï¬rst report of an inferior-to-superior approach for ablation of atrial ï¬utter in the absence of the perihepatic IVC with the presence of chronic indwelling leads in the area targeted for radiofrequency.
