- Title
The quest for achieving durable mitral isthmus block: probing the heights of the left lateral ridge.

- Abstract
This document discusses a study published in the Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology that explores the effectiveness of ablation techniques for treating mitral annular flutter, a condition that can occur after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. The study focuses on two ablation approaches: creating lesion lines across the mitral isthmus and performing lines along the left atrial anterior wall. The authors of the study found that adding ablation of the left atrial lateral ridge to the conventional mitral isthmus ablation improved the success rate of the procedure. However, the study has limitations, and further research is needed to confirm the findings and assess the safety of this adjunctive ablation technique.
