A subeustachian pouch (SEP) often hinders the completion of a cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation of typical atrial flutter (AFL) and sometimes causes steam‐pops during a power‐controlled ablation. We hypothesized that real‐time bull's‐eye monitoring of the catheter surface temperature might be useful to locate the SEP where the temperature can rise rapidly, and a temperature‐controlled ablation might avoid steam pops. This study aimed to demonstrate this hypothesis.
