The “MINimizE Right Ventricular pacing to prevent Atrial fibrillation and heart failure” (MINERVA) multicenter randomized study demonstrated that atrial anti-tachycardia pacing (A-ATP) can effectively decrease the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with bradycardia and atrial tachyarrhythmias. We herein describe the unique electrophysiological results of AF ablation in a patient for whom atrial flutter (AFL) was terminated by A-ATP from a Medtronic dual-chamber pacemaker. In this case, the atrial activation sequence indicated that the tachycardia was a right atrial typical flutter and that A-ATP from the right atrial appendage would thus be more likely to terminate the tachycardia. This is a novel case involving documented intracardiac electrograms captured during an AF ablation study in a patient in whom AFL was successfully terminated by A-ATP. These findings provide insight into the mechanisms by which A-ATP can terminate atrial arrhythmias.

Catheter ablation is a well-known treatment for patients with AF. Despite the growing knowledge in the field, the identification of predictors of recurrence of AF after catheter ablation is one of the primary goals and is of major importance to improve long-term results of the procedure. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of what has been published in recent years and to summarise the major predictors, helping cardiac electrophysiologists in the selection of the right candidates for catheter ablation.
