Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Typical Flutter Ablation:A Comparison of 4 mm Versus 2 mm Irrigated cathéters

Further study details as provided by University Hospital, Geneva:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Procedural success rate, procedure duration, number of RF applications, delivered power, impedance, complication rate, recurrence at six months [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 200
Study Start Date: March 2008
