Double-gap-in-roof reentrant tachycardia following surgical thoracoscopic atrial fibrillation ablation

A case of macro-reentrant tachycardia associated with a box lesion after thoracoscopis left atrial surgical atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation yet to be described. The goal was to clarify the mechanisms and electrophysiological characteristics of this type of tachycardia.A patient was admitted for an EP study following surgical thoracoscopic AF ablation (box lexion formation by right-sided Cobra thoracoscopic ablation). Thoracoscopic ablation was done as the first step of the hybrid ablation approach to the persistent AF; the second step was the EP study. At the EP study, he presented with incessant regular tachycardia (cycle length of 226 ms). An EP study with conventional, 3D activation and entrainment mapping was done to assess the tachycardia mechanism. Two conduction gaps in the superior line (roofline) between the superior pulmonary veins were discovered. The tachycardia was successfully treated with a radiofrequency application near the gap close to the left superior pulmonary vein; however, following tachycardia termination, pulmonary vein isolation was absent. A second radiofrequency application, close to the roof of the right superior pulmonary, vein closed the gap in the box and led to the isolation of all 4 pulmonary veins. No atrial tachycardia recurred during the 6-month follow-up.Conduction gaps in box lesion created by thoracospcopic ablation can present as a novel type of man-made tachycardia after surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation. Activation and entrainment mapping is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.     

Expression of TGFβ1 in pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency ablation in chronic atrial fibrillation of dogs

The development of pulmonary vein stenosis has recently been described after radiofrequency ablation (RF) to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to examine expression of TGFβ1 in pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency ablation in chronic atrial fibrillation of dogs. About 28 mongrel dogs were randomly assigned to the sham-operated group (n = 7), the AF group (n = 7), AF + RF group (n = 7), and RF group (n = 7). In AF or AF + RF groups, dogs underwent chronic pulmonary vein (PV) pacing to induce sustained AF. RF application was applied around the PVs until electrical activity was eliminated. Histological assessment of pulmonary veins was performed using hematoxylin and eosin staining; TGFβ1 gene expression in pulmonary veins was examined by RT-PCR analysis; expression of TGFβ1 protein in pulmonary veins was assessed by Western blot analysis. Rapid pacing from the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) induced sustained AF in AF group and AF + RF group. Pulmonary vein ablation terminated the chronic atrial fibrillation in dogs. Histological examination revealed necrotic tissues in various stages of collagen replacement, intimal thickening, and cartilaginous metaplasia with chondroblasts and chondroclasts. Compared with sham-operated and AF group, TGFβ1 gene and protein expressions was increased in AF + RF or RF groups. It was concluded that TGFβ1 might be associated with pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency ablation in chronic atrial fibrillation of dogs. Shufeng Li and Hongli Li contributed equally to the work.

High-density activation map of atrial tachycardia within left atrial appendage

Identification of the critical isthmus of the reentrant tachycardia is essential to maximize the effect of catheter ablation (CA) and to minimize the myocardial injury of CA. An 81-year-old woman presented recurrent palpitations after CA of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial tachycardia (AT). She had moderate aortic valve stenosis and coronary artery disease. She had received a pulmonary vein isolation, left atrial (LA) posterior wall isolation, and LA anterior linear ablation for atrial fibrillation 1 year prior. At the start of the procedure, she was in sinus rhythm. Atrial burst pacing induced an AT (230msec). High-density mapping revealed a figure-of-eight activation pattern within the LA appendage (LAA), accounting for 99% of the tachycardia cycle length. The critical isthmus was identified at the mid LAA and the local electrogram of the critical isthmus was not fractionated. A single radiofrequency application at the critical isthmus of the AT, terminated the AT. She was free from any ATs for 28 months.Radiofrequency ablation of the localized reentrant AT was usually performed targeting long fractionated electrograms. In our case, the local electrogram at the critical isthmus was not fragmented compared with the LAA distal part. Long fractionated electrograms were recorded at a more distal part of the LAA than the common isthmus and we could avoid the potential risk of a perforation. A recent developed 3-dimensional electro-anatomical mapping system can identify the critical isthmus and allow us to select a new therapeutic strategy for a critical isthmus ablation of an AT within the LAA.     

Anatomical Characteristics of Pulmonary Veins for the Prediction of Postoperative Recurrence after Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Background

The relationship between focal pulmonary vein potential and atrial fibrillation (AF) has been confirmed. Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation and circumferential pulmonary vein ablation have been the most commonly used procedures of radiofrequency ablation. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between anatomical characteristics of PV and AF recurrences after radiofrequency ablation.

Methodology

For 267 AF patients treated by radiofrequency catheter ablation, the anatomic structure characteristics of pulmonary veins were assessed by multi-slice spiral computed tomography while the values of left atrial diameter (LAD) were measured with transesophageal ultrasonic cardiogram. After radiofrequency catheter ablation, postoperative recurrence was evaluated during a 10-month term follow-up.

Principal Findings

During follow-up, postoperative recurrence occurred in 44 patients. The mean diameters of LAD, left superior PV, right superior PV, all left PV, and all superior PV were significantly larger in patients with postoperative recurrence (Recurrence vs. Non-recurrence group; 43.9 ± 6.4 mm vs. 40.7 ± 5.6 mm; 18.4 ± 2.1 mm vs. 17.1 ± 3.1 mm; 18.2 ± 2.8 mm vs. 17.2 mm ± 3.9 mm; 16.4 ± 1.5 mm vs. 15.6 ± 2.5 mm; 18.3 ± 2.1 mm vs. 17.1 ± 3.0 mm; respectively; all P < 0.05). Multivariable survival analysis showed that the type and the course of AF, LAD, and the diameters of all superior PV were the independent risk factors for the postoperative recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation.

Conclusions

The enlargements of all superior PV and LAD, long course of diseases, and persistent AF were the independent risk factors for the postoperative recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation.     

Pulmonary vein isolation of symptomatic refractory paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation

Aim. To investigate long-term outcome and to determine predictors of successful pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) who are refractory or intolerant to antiarrhythmic drugs. Background. The treatment of AF has traditionally been pharmacological aimed at rate or rhythm control. However, rhythm control remains difficult to establish. PVI is reported to be effective in selected patient groups. Methods. Ninety-nine consecutive patients with a mean age of 54±10 years who had paroxysmal or persistent AF were treated in the University Medical Center Groningen. All patients underwent PVI by the same electrophysiologist. Successful PVI was defined as absence of AF on Holter or electrocardiogram (ECG), and no symptoms of AF. Results. After six months of follow-up, 60 (61%) patients were free of AF episodes, both on 96-hour Holter monitoring and on ECGs, and had no symptoms related to AF. Thirty-nine of these 60 patients (65%) were no longer treated with any class I or III antiarrhythmic drugs. Independent determinants of successful PVI were paroxysmal AF (OR 18 [3.5–93], p=0.001), and left pulmonary vein ablation time >55 minutes (OR 15 [2.7–81], p=0.002). Left atrial (parasternal view 42±6 vs. 40±5 mm, p<0.05 and apical view 61±9 vs. 58±8 mm, p<0.05) and right atrial (59±7 vs. 56±5 mm, p<0.05) sizes decreased significantly in the successfully treated patients after six months of follow-up. Conclusion. Independent determinants of a successful outcome after PVI are paroxysmal AF and a longer left atrial ablation time. (Neth Heart J 2009;17:366–72.)
