Three-dimensional mapping of junctional beats during atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia cryoablation.

Project description:Cryoablation of slow pathway doesn't usually cause junctional beats. If this occurs, the nearness to AV compact node is supposed. 3d electroanatomical mapping during this unusual finding may help to clarify the relationship between junctional beats (JBs) during cryomapping/cryoablation and Koch's triangle.

Antegrade slow pathway mapping of typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia based on direct slow pathway capture.

Project description:BackgroundRadiofrequency (RF) ablation of typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (tAVNRT) is performed without revealing out the location of antegrade slow pathway (ASp). In this study, we studied a new electrophysiological method of identifying the site of ASp.MethodsThis study included 19 patients. Repeated series of very high-output single extrastimulations (VhoSESts) were delivered at the anatomical slow pathway region during tAVNRT. Tachycardia cycle length (TCL), coupling interval (CI), and return cycle (RC) were measured and the prematurity of VhoSESts [ΔPM (= TCL - CI)] and the prolongation of RCs [ΔPL (= RC - TCL)] were calculated. Pacing sites were classified into two categories: (i) ASp capture sites [DSPC(+) sites], where two different RCs were shown, and ASp non-capture sites [DSPC(-) sites], where only one RC was shown. RF ablation was performed at DSPC(+) sites and/or sites with catheter-induced mechanical trauma (CIMT) to ASp.ResultsDSPC(+) sites were shown in 13 patients (68%). RF ablation was successful in all patients without any degree of atrioventricular block nor recurrence. Total number of RF applications was 1.8 ± 1.1. Minimal distance between successful ablation sites and DSPC(+)/CIMT sites and His bundle (HB) electrogram recording sites was 1.9 ± 0.8 mm and 19.8 ± 6.1 mm, respectively. ΔPL of more than 92.5 ms, ΔPL/TCL of more than 0.286, and ΔPL/ΔPM of more than 1.565 could identify ASp with sensitivity of 100%, 91.1%, and 88.9% and specificity of 92.9%, 97.0%, and 97.6%, respectively.ConclusionsSites with ASp capture and CIMT were close to successful ablation sites and could be useful indicators of tAVNRT ablation.

Radiofrequency ablation vs. cryoablation for pediatric atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in the era of three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping.

Project description:BackgroundCryoablation for pediatric atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) is favored for reducing conduction system injury compared to radiofrequency (RF) ablation. The safety advantage of cryoablation over RF ablation primarily results from studies conducted without a three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping (3D EAM) system. Currently, 3D EAM systems offer precise and efficient guidance, improving safety and outcomes. This study compares RF ablation and cryoablation using a 3D EAM system for pediatric AVNRT treatment.MethodsA retrospective study enrolled consecutive pediatric patients with AVNRT who underwent RF ablation (RF group) or cryoablation (Cryo group) guided by a 3D EAM system at multiple centers from July 2018 to January 2024.ResultsAmong 95 patients, 69 received RF ablation and 26 received cryoablation. Recurrence rates were 2.9% in the RF group and 0% in the Cryo group (p > 0.99), with no difference in AVNRT-free survival. No major complications, such as permanent atrioventricular (AV) block, were observed. The minor complication rates, including transient AV block, did not differ significantly (14.5% vs. 11.5%, p > 0.99). The RF group had a significantly shorter procedure time (111 vs. 153.5 min, p = 0.005). Ablation outside the low Koch triangle and cryoablation were independently associated with longer procedure times. The procedure time decreased significantly in the recent 50% of RF ablation cases, but not in cryoablation cases.ConclusionWith 3D EAM guidance, both RF ablation and cryoablation are considered safe and effective for pediatric AVNRT. RF ablation is more efficient with a shorter procedure time after increasing experience.

High-Resolution Mapping of Postinfarction Reentrant Ventricular Tachycardia: Electrophysiological Characterization of the Circuit.

Project description:BackgroundIn vivo description of ventricular tachycardia (VT) circuits is limited by insufficient spatiotemporal resolution. We used a novel high-resolution mapping technology to characterize the electrophysiological properties of the postinfarction reentrant VT circuit.MethodsIn 15 swine, myocardial infarction was induced by left anterior descending artery balloon occlusion. Animals were studied 6 to 8 weeks after myocardial infarction. Activation mapping of VTs was performed by using the Rhythmia mapping system. Activation time was based on a combination of bipolar and unipolar electrograms. The response to overdrive pacing from different zones of the circuit was examined.ResultsA total of 56 monomorphic VTs were induced (3.8±2.1 per animal). Among these, 21 (37.5%) were hemodynamically stable and allowed mapping of the circuit. Isthmuses were 16.4±7.2 mm long and 7.4±2.8 mm wide. Conduction velocities were slowest at the inward curvature into the isthmus entrance (0.28±0.2 m/s), slightly faster at the outward curvature exit (0.40±0.3 m/s) and nearly normal at the central isthmus (0.62±0.2 m/s). In 3 animals, 2 VT morphologies with opposite axes sharing the same isthmus were mapped. Conduction velocities within the shared isthmus were dependent on the activation vector, consistently slower at the proximal curvature. Overdrive pacing from isthmus sites determined by activation mapping was consistent with entrainment criteria for isthmus. However, dimensions of the isthmus defined by entrainment exceeded dimensions of the isthmus measured by activation mapping by 32±18%.ConclusionsIn postinfarction reentrant VT, conduction velocities are slowest at the proximal and distal curvatures. Entrainment mapping overestimates the true size of the isthmus. High-resolution activation mapping of VT may better guide ablation therapy.

Systematic observation-based diagnosis of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia with a bystander concealed nodoventricular pathway.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to establish a systematic method for diagnosing atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with a bystander concealed nodoventricular pathway (cNVP).MethodsWe analyzed 13 cases of AVNRT with a bystander cNVP, 11 connected to the slow pathway (cNVP-SP) and two to the fast pathway (cNVP-FP), along with two cases of cNVP-related orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia (ORT).ResultsThe diagnostic process was summarized in three steps. Step 1 was identification of the presence of an accessory pathway by resetting the tachycardia with delay (n = 9) and termination without atrial capture (n = 4) immediately after delivery of a His-refractory premature ventricular contraction (PVC). Step 2 was exclusion of ORT by atrio-His block during the tachycardia (n = 4), disappearance of the reset phenomenon after the early PVC (n = 7), or dissociation of His from the tachycardia during ventricular overdrive pacing (n = 1). Moreover, tachycardia reset/termination without the atrial capture (n = 2/2) 1 cycle after the His-refractory PVC was specifically diagnostic. Exceptionally, the disappearance of the reset phenomenon was also observed in the two cNVP-ORTs. Step 3 was verification of the AVN as the cNVP insertion site, evidenced by an atrial reset/block preceding the His reset/block in fast-slow AVNRT with a cNVP-SP and slow-fast AVNRT with a cNVP-FP or His reset preceding the atrial reset in slow-fast AVNRT with a cNVP-SP.ConclusionAVNRT with a bystander cNVP can be diagnosed in the three steps with few exceptions. Notably, tachycardia reset/termination without atrial capture one cycle after delivery of a His-refractory PVC is specifically diagnostic.

High incidence of atrial fibrillation after successful catheter ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia: a 15.5-year follow-up.

Project description:Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is the most common type of supraventricular tachycardia. Slow pathway (SP) ablation is the treatment of choice with a high acute success rate and a negligible periprocedural risk. However, long-term outcome data are scarce. The aim of this study was to assess long-term outcome and arrhythmia free survival after SP ablation. In this study, 534 consecutive patients with AVNRT, who underwent SP ablation between 1994 and 1999 were included. During a mean follow-up of 15.5 years, 101 (18.9%) patients died unrelated to the procedure or any arrhythmia. Data were collected by completing a questionnaire and/or contacting patients. Clinical information was obtained from 329 patients (61.6%) who constitute the final study cohort. During the electrophysiological study, sustained 1:1 slow AV nodal pathway conduction was eliminated in all patients. Recurrence of AVNRT was documented in 9 patients (2.7%), among those 7 patients underwent a successful repeat ablation procedure. New-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) was documented in 39 patients (11.9%) during follow-up. Pre-existing arterial hypertension (odds ratio 2.61, 95% CI 1.14-5.97, p = 0.023), age (odds ratio 1.05, 95% CI 1.02-1.09, p = 0.003) and the postinterventional AH interval (odds ratio 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.04, p = 0.038) predicted the occurrence of AF. The present long-term observational study after successful SP ablation of AVNRT confirms its clinical value reflected by low recurrence and complication rates. The unexpectedly high incidence of new-onset AF (11.9%) may impact long-term follow-up and requires further clinical attention.
