Half-normal Saline in Atrial Flutter Ablation

Study Description
Brief Summary:
To assess the acute and long-term efficacy of half-normal saline compared to normal saline for irrigation of open-irrigated catheters during catheter ablation for the treatment of cavotricuspid isthmus dependent atrial flutter.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Atrial Flutter Drug: Half Normal Saline 0.45% Infusion Solution Bag Drug: Normal Saline 0.9% Infusion Solution Bag Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
It is unclear whether ionic strength affects energy delivery and ablation lesion size during radiofrequency ablation for atrial flutter. Given that saline contains ionic sodium and chloride in the solution, it has conductive properties that may disperse radiofrequency energy away from the tip-tissue interface, thereby reducing current density and lesion size compared to ablation with nonionic solutions. The efficacy of half-normal saline will be measured by the time taken to create bidirectional block across the cavotricuspid isthmus as well as the acute recurrence rate within 30 minutes of the initial occurrence of bidirectional block and the 1 year freedom from flutter recurrence.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time taken to produce bidirectional block [ Time Frame: intraprocedural ]
  2. Acute recurrence rate < 30 minutes of initial occurrence of bidirectional block [ Time Frame: intraprocedural ]
  3. Freedom from atrial flutter recurrence [ Time Frame: 1 year ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time taken for termination of atrial flutter [ Time Frame: intraprocedural ]
  2. Total radiofrequency ablation time and procedural time [ Time Frame: intraprocedural ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Incidence of procedure-related complications [ Time Frame: at the time of the procedure and up to 1 month ]
    pericardial effusion due to cardiac perforation or pericarditis, transient ischemic attack/stroke, systemic embolism, phrenic nerve injury, pulmonary vein stenosis, atrio-esophageal fistula, death

  2. Incidence of steam pops [ Time Frame: periprocedural ]
    marker of excessive heating of the tissue
