Termination of atrial flutter by directed transesophageal atrial pacing during transesophageal echocardiography / Terminierung von Vorhofflattern mit gerichteter transsophagealer Vorhofstimulation bei transsophagealer Echokardiographie

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate termination of atrial flutter (AFL) by directed rapid transesophageal atrial pacing (TAP) with and without simultaneous transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) performed using a novel TEE tube electrode. Materials and methods, and Results: A total of 16 AFL patients (age 6312years; 13 males) with mean AFL cycle length of 22424ms (n12) and mean ventricular cycle length of 44847ms (n12) were analyzed using either an esophageal TO electrode (n10) or a novel TEE tube electrode consisting of a tube with four hemispherical electrodes that is pulled over the echo probe (n6)...
