In patients in sinus rhythm, atrial activation was analyzed during pacing from the CS and low lateral right atrium (KLRA) before and after ablation. Atrial activation propagated across the isthmus and posterior region of the IVC orifice simultaneously before ablation. Mapping during AFI in four patients showed that the crista terminalis was a site of functional block. After ablation, evaluation of Halo catheter recordings in three patients showed apparent unidirectional counterclockwise block, whereas analysis of basket catheter recordings demonstrated complete bidirectional block. The apparent conduction over the isthmus during pacing from proximal CS was due to conduction along the posterior part of the IVC orifice, which activated the LLRA despite complete isthmus block.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusion:<\/jats:italic> Our results demonstrate that limited endocardial mapping may yield a pattern compatible with unidirectional block in the IVC\u2010TA isthmus, although bidirectional block is present at this anatomic level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8167.2000.tb00333.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,20]],"date-time":"2007-04-20T13:28:34Z","timestamp":1177075714000},"page":"387-395","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Typical Atrial Flutter Ablation: Conduction Across the Posterior Region of the Inferior Vena Cava Orifice May Mimic Unidirectional Isthmus Block"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"MARCO","family":"SCAGLIONE","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"RICCARDO","family":"RICCARDI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"LEONARDO","family":"CAL\u00d2","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"PAOLO","family":"DI DONNA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"FILIPPO","family":"LAMBERTI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"DOMENICO","family":"CAPONI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"LUISELLA","family":"CODA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"FIORENZO","family":"GAITA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.81.3.762"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.86.4.1233"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9149(93)91014-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.56.5.737"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.RES.67.1.35"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.60.3.665"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0735-1097(90)90314-F"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.92.7.1839"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9149(86)90840-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.94.3.407"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"841","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.1996.tb03368.x","article-title":"Atrial flutter mapping and ablation, I.
