**9. Conclusions**

Atrial flutter is a common atrial arrhythmia with a characteristic mechanism. Its morbidity and mortality are similar to atrial fibrillation; but unlike atrial fibrillation, it can be cured. However, a thorough understanding of electrophysiological properties and anatomical landmarks is essential in achieving a successful ablation outcome and in reducing complication rates. The advent of newer technology potentially has a favourable outlook in reducing the time required to perform the procedure.
