The mechanisms of intermediate ATs included macro\u2010reentry in 110 (77%), micro\u2010reentry in 21 (15%), and focal AT in 12 (8%). Among the macro\u2010reentrant ATs, the most common were perimitral ATs (PM\u2010AT) in 52 (47%), followed by roof\u2010dependent ATs (RF\u2010AT) in 40 (36%) and typical atrial flutter (AFL) in 18 (16%). A total of 98 (72%) patients successfully underwent ablation for intermediate ATs. Of these, 88 (90%) required at least one of the perimitral line, roofline, or peritricuspid line to finally restore SR. After 12 months of follow\u2010up, 63 (64.3%) of the patients with successfully ablated ATs were remained free of arrhythmia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The majority of intermediate ATs after PerAF termination were macro\u2010reentrant ATs.
