Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Ablation time until success of the ablation procedure (bidirectional isthmus block)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
a. Ablation time until termination of atrial flutter b. Total energy delivery up to the termination as well as to the final success of the ablation procedure (bidirectional isthmus block) c. Mean / minimum / maximum catheter temperature during ablation therapy d. Volume of applied rinsing solution (ablation catheter cooling) e. Acute recovery rate in the 30-minute waiting period f. Tissue overheating / "steam-pop" rate g. Complications h. Recurrence of typical right atrial flutter in follow-up (6 months)	—
