Abstract
Fifty patients with symptomatic type I atrial flutter in whom termination of the arrhythmia with transesophageal stimulation was unsuccessful were randomized undergo a repeat procedure after intravenous propafenone (n = 25) or placebo (n = 25). Immediate sinus rhythm recovery rate was 36% in the propafenone group and 4% in the placebo group (p = 0.005), indicating that intravenous propafenone increases the rate of successful transesophageal stimulation and can be used when a first attempt at conversion is ineffective.
