Abstract

Real-time assessment of pulmonary vein (PV) disconnection is possible using an inner circular mapping catheter during cryoablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it has been recently demonstrated that such continuous monitoring may only be possible in <50% of PVs. We hypothesized that a stepwise mapping approach, including pacing manoeuvres, could optimize monitoring of real-time PV disconnection during ablation. Single-centre, prospective observational study (NCT01843465) including 34 consecutive eligible patients (128 PVs) undergoing a first procedure of cryoballoon ablation of AF using the Artic Front Advance(®) 28 mm catheter and a 20 mm diameter Achieve(®) catheter (AC) in all cases. Monitoring of real-time entrance block was possible, when AC was maintained in the standard position (distal to the tip of the Artic Front Advance(®) catheter) in 47 (36.7%) PVs. In an additional 63 cases (49.2%), such monitoring was possible after moving AC to a more proximal position and using different torqueing movements. Finally, using supplemental systematic pacing manoeuvres to test exit block, real-time assessment of PV disconnection was possible in 15 (11.7%) more PVs. Overall, real-time assessment of PV disconnection was possi...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
