Factors predictive for delayed enhancement in cardiac resonance imaging in patients undergoing catheter ablation of premature ventricular complexes.

Project description:BackgroundPatients undergoing ablation of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) can have cardiac scar. Risk factors for the presence of scar are not well defined.ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence of scarring detected by delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DE-CMR) in patients undergoing ablation of PVCs, to create a risk score predictive of scar, and to explore correlations between the scoring system and long-term outcomes.MethodsDE-CMR imaging was performed in consecutive patients with frequent PVCs referred for ablation. The full sample was used to develop a prediction model for cardiac scar based on demographic and clinical characteristics, and internal validation of the prediction model was done using bootstrap samples.ResultsThe study consisted of 333 patients (52% male, aged 53.2 ± 14.5 years, preablation ejection fraction 50.9% ± 12.2%, PVC burden 20.7 ± 13.14), of whom 112 (34%) had DE-CMR scarring. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed age (odds ratio [OR] 1.02 [1.01-1.04]/year, P = .019) and preablation ejection fraction (OR 0.92 [0.89-0.94]/%, P < .001) to be predictive of scar. A weighted risk score incorporating age and ejection fraction was used to stratify patients into low-, medium-, and high-risk groups. Scar prevalence was around 86% in the high-risk group and 12% in the low-risk group; high-risk patients had worse survival free of arrhythmia.ConclusionsCardiac scar was present in one-third of patients referred for PVC ablation. A weighted risk score based simply on patient age and preprocedural ejection fraction can help discriminate between patients at high and low risk for the presence of cardiac scar and worse arrhythmia outcomes.

Giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm: a rare acute complication of radiofrequency catheter ablation for premature ventricular contraction.

Project description:BackgroundRadiofrequency catheter ablation is approved effective therapy for premature ventricular contraction. However, the rare but serious complication such as pseudoaneurysm should be given more attention. It is life-threatening due to the high risk of rupture. Only few cases have been reported in the literature. We herein report a huge acute left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after catheter ablation therapy.Case presentationA 69-year-old man underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation for premature ventricular contraction at a local hospital. The patient developed shock the second day after ablation. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis was performed, and the puncture fluid was a bloody pericardial effusion. The transthoracic echocardiogram revealed an 9- × 4-cm giant pseudoaneurysm with a cystic structure in the left ventricular inferior wall near the mitral annulus along the left atrium. The pseudoaneurysm was connected to the left ventricular cavity through a 8-mm neck, and the lumen was filled with systolic and diastolic blood flow. The patient underwent three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography. The pseudoaneurysm and the tract was clearly visible. Emergency surgery was performed to resect the pseudoaneurysm. A bovine pericardial patch was placed on the neck of the pseudoaneurysm. Echocardiographic examination confirmed the absence of cardiac lesions after the operation.ConclusionsIt is rare to see such a large pseudoaneurysm after radiofrequency catheter ablation. Clinicians should be allert to the potential risks to patients in the process of an effective treatment. Echocardiography plays an important role in the prompt diagnosis and prognosis of this disease. Emergency surgery is a better method for treatment of huge pseudoaneurysm.

Symptomatic Premature Ventricular Contractions in Vasovagal Syncope Patients: Autonomic Modulation and Catheter Ablation.

Project description:IntroductionThere has been limited reports about the comorbid premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and vasovagal syncope (VVS). Deceleration capacity (DC) was demonstrated to be a quantitative evaluation to assess the cardiac vagal activity. This study sought to report the impact of autonomic modulation on symptomatic PVCs in VVS patients.Methods and resultsTwenty-six VVS patients with symptomatic idiopathic PVCs were consecutively enrolled. Identification and catheter ablation of left atrial ganglionated plexi (GP) and PVCs were performed in 26 and 20 patients, respectively. Holter 24 h-electrocardiograms were performed before and after the procedure to evaluate DC and PVCs occurrence. Eighteen patients were subtyped as DC-dependent PVCs (D-PVCs) and eight as DC-independent PVCs groups (I-PVCs). In D-PVCs group, circadian rhythm of hourly PVCs was positively correlated with hourly DC (P < 0.05) while there was no correlation in I-PVCs group (P > 0.05). Fifty-three GPs with positive vagal response were successfully elicited (2.0 ± 0.8 per patient). PVCs failed to occur spontaneously nor to be induced in six patients. In the remaining 20 patients, PVCs foci identified were all located in the ventricular outflow tract region. Post-ablation DC decreased significantly from baseline (P < 0.05). During mean follow-up of 10.64 ± 6.84 months, syncope recurred in one patient and PVCs recurred in another. PVCs burden of the six patients in whom neither catheter ablation nor antiarrhythmic drugs were applied demonstrated a significant decrease during follow-up (P = 0.037).ConclusionAutonomic activities were involved in the occurrence of symptomatic idiopathic PVCs in some VVS patients. D-PVCs might be facilitated by increased vagal activities. Catheter ablation of GP and PVCs foci may be an effective, safe treatment in patients with concomitant VVS and idiopathic PVCs.

A case of premature ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardia, and arrhythmic storm induced by right ventricular pacing during cardiac resynchronization therapy: Electrophysiological mechanism and catheter ablation.

Project description:A 77-year-old man with ischemic cardiomyopathy and a cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) device came to our attention due to incessant ventricular tachycardia and multiple implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) shocks. An electrocardiogram showed non-sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardias (NSVTs) constantly occurring after each biventricular stimulation. During an electrophysiological study, NSVTs reproducibly recurred only after right ventricular (RV) pacing; LV pacing did not induce any NSVTs. The activation map was consistent with a localized reentry at the interventricular septum, and a double exit; at the LV exit site, a single radiofrequency energy application immediately interrupted the occurrence of the NSVTs. Current evidence supports LV pacing to be pro-arrhythmogenic in few CRT patients. This unusual case shows that RV pacing during CRT could produce frequent ventricular arrhythmias and arrhythmic storm. Catheter ablation can be considered an effective therapeutic option, especially when CRT maintenance is highly advisable.

Idiopathic Premature Ventricular Contraction Catheter Ablation, Sedentary Population vs. Athlete's Populations: Outcomes and Resumption of Sports Activity.

Project description:There are no investigations about the outcomes of idiopathic PVC catheter ablation (CA) in athletes compared to the sedentary population. We conducted a prospective single-centre observational study. The primary and secondary procedural outcomes were the post-ablation reduction of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in an athletes vs. non-athletes group and in agonist vs. leisure-time athletes. The third was the evaluation of the resumption of physical activity and the improvement of symptoms in agonist and leisure-time athletes. From January 2020 to October 2022 we enrolled 79 patients with RVOT/LVOT/fascicular PVC presumed origin. The median percentage of decrease between the pre-procedure and post-procedure Holter monitoring in the non-athletes group was 96 (IQR 68-98) and 98 in the athletes group (IQR 92-99) (p = 0.08). Considering the athletes, the median percentage of decrease in the number of PVCs was 98 (IQR 93-99) and 98 (IQR 87-99), respectively, in leisure-time and agonistic athletes (p = 0.42). Sixteen (70%) leisure time and seventeen (90%) agonist athletes (p = 0.24) have resumed physical activity 3 months after PVC CA; among agonistic athletes, 59% have resumed competitive physical activity. Many leisure-time (88%) and agonist (70%) athletes experienced an improvement in symptoms after ablation. PVC CA was effective and safe in both groups, reducing symptoms and allowing a quick and safe return to sports activities in athletes.

Feasibility of a novel mapping system combined with remote magnetic navigation for catheter ablation of premature ventricular contractions.

Project description:BackgroundRemote magnetic navigation (RMN) is often used in combination with a 3-dimensional mapping system to perform catheter ablations. This study aim to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of a novel 3D-mapping system, EnSite Precision, combined with RMN for catheter ablation of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), and compared it to the procedures performed by CARTO3 with RMN.MethodsForty-three consecutive PVC patients were either ablated with the guidance of EnSite Precision (n = 22) or CARTO (n = 21) navigated by RMN. Procedure-related details, acute and long-term success were assessed.ResultsPatient characteristics between both the groups were similar (age: 47.1 ± 19.8 vs 47.1 ± 12.7, female: 63.6% vs 57.1%). No significant difference was found in the procedure time (99.5 ± 30.4 vs 92.9 ± 24.8 min, P = 0.436), mapping time (18.6 ± 12.8 vs 15.5 ± 10.2 min, P = 0.390), radiofrequency ablation time (333.4 ± 267.0 vs 469.3 ± 343.1 s, P = 0.154), fluoroscopy time (4.0 ± 1.9 vs 3.8 ± 2.0 min, P = 0.635), and X-ray dose (1.8 ± 1.4 vs 2.0 ± 1.2 Gycm2, P = 0.649) between the two groups. No significant procedural complication occurred in either group. In addition, there was no significant differences regarding the acute success rate (90.9% vs 90.5%, P = 0.961) and long-term success rate (86.4% vs 81.0%, P = 0.631) after 16.2 ± 6.2 months of follow-up between the two groups.ConclusionsRMN combined with EnSite Precision mapping system is effective and safe for catheter ablation of PVCs.

An unusual 'rite of passage' for an ablation catheter during left ventricular tachycardia ablation - a case report.

Project description:IntroductionVentricular perforation during radiofrequency ablation of ventricular tachycardia is a recognized serious complication that carries high morbidity and mortality. Perforation is often associated with local intramyocardial injury due to excess heat induced by catheter, 'steam pop'. The complication usually requires emergency surgical repair.Case presentationWe present a case, when the catheter found its way into the epicardium during left ventricular (LV) electroanatomic mapping without any serious complication. Angiography through the ablation catheter confirmed the diagnosis of LV coronary sinus fistula.DiscussionContrast injection through the irrigation port of the ablation catheter is a useful way of delineating anatomical anomalies during electrophysiology procedure.
