Abstract

In spite of technological progress and the improving skills of operators, atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation results appear to date to be at a plateau. In any case, the superiority of ablation over pharmacological therapy in terms of effectiveness, reduction of hospitalizations, and improvement has been well demonstrated in recent randomized trials. Triggers, substrate, and modulating factors (elements of Coumel’s triangle) play different roles in paroxysmal and persistent AF, so induction and perpetuation mechanisms of arrhythmia may be different in each patient. Although effective ablative strategies are available for the treatment of paroxysmal AF triggers and persistent AF substrates, an adequate clinical evaluation of the patient is crucial in order to increase the chances of success. Recognizing triggers allows not only performing an effective ablation but also to avoid unnecessary lesions and at the same time reducing the risk of complications. AF beginning and triggers could be recorded by 12-lead ECG, continuous Holter monitoring, or implantable devices. In case of an unsuccessful noninvasive evaluation, nonpulmonary vein triggers should be investigated with an electrophysiological study. Persistent AF needs more effort to perform an accurate substrate characterization. Among the many methods proposed, recently the use of high-density mapping and multipolar catheters seems of particular benefit in order to clarify the arrhythmia mechanisms. Surgical and hybrid techniques allow to treat regions such as the posterior wall or Bachmann’s bundle, which is fundamental for an ablative strategy that goes beyond just pulmonary vein isolation. Too often, patients are referred to electrophysiology laboratories without adequate preprocedural screening and planning in order to submit them to a standard “ready-made” procedure. The accurate search for triggers in paroxysmal AF and the correct recognition of the link between a possible underlying heart disease and the substrate in persistent AF could allow us to tailor the interventional approach in order to overcome the current plateau, increasing ablative procedure success and minimizing complications.

Abstract

Background: His bundle pacing (HBP) may be a challenging procedure, often involving a long fluoroscopic time (FT) and a long procedural time (PT). We sought to evaluate whether the use of a new nonfluroscopic mapping (NFM) system, the KODEX‐EPD, is able to reduce FT and PT when mapping is performed by the pacing catheter rather than an electrophysiological mapping catheter. Methods and Results: We included 46 consecutive patients (77 ± 8 years; 63% male) who underwent HBP; in 22 a NFM‐guided procedure with the KODEX‐EPD system was performed (group 1), whereas in 24 a conventional fluoroscopy‐guided approach was used (group 2). Pacing indications were sick sinus syndrome in 13, atrioventricular block in 21, and cardiac resynchronization therapy in 12 cases. Both a lumen‐less fixed helix lead and a stylet‐driven extendable helix lead were used, respectively, in 24% and 76% of patients. HBP was successful in 22 patients (100%) in group 1 and 23 patients (96%) in group 2. The FT was significantly reduced in group 1 (183 ± 117 s vs 464.1 ± 352 s in group 2, p =.012). There were no significant differences between groups in PT and other procedural outcomes. Conclusions: The KODEX‐EPD system may be safely used in HBP procedures. It is effective in reducing ionizing radiation exposure, as evidenced by the significant drop in FT, without increasing PT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Palpitations in athletes are usually benign, but the presence of major cardiac arrhythmias should be ruled out despite the infrequent appraisal of symptoms. External loop recorders (ELR) are promising to identify arrhythmias in these circumstances, but experiences in athletes are lacking. We aimed to investigate the feasibility and diagnostic yield of an ELR in athletes with unexplained palpitations in a cohort study., Methods: One hundred twenty-two consecutive subjects (61 athletes and 61 sedentary controls) with sporadic palpitations and inconclusive diagnosis were enrolled and equipped with an ELR. Findings were categorized as major and minor arrhythmic findings, non-arrhythmic findings or negative monitoring., Results: Long-term ELR monitoring was feasible in all subjects, with median duration of 12 (11; 15) days. Major arrhythmic events during palpitations were found in 9 (14.8%) athletes: 7 experienced sustained paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and 2 had non sustained ventricular tachycardia. Minor arrhythmic events (premature supraventricular or ventricular beats) were observed in 13 athletes (21.3%). Non-arrhythmic findings (i.e., sinus rhythm or sinus tachycardia) were recorded in 28 athletes (45.9%), whereas 11 (18%) had negative monitoring. In the sedentary group, arrhythmic events were similar for types and frequency to athletes. The diagnostic yield of loop monitoring was 82.8% in the overall population and 82.0% in the athlete's group., Conclusions: In the management of an athlete symptomatic with unexplained palpitations after 24-hour ECG monitoring and stress test, ELR is an efficient tool to identify major arrhythmic events, which can be present in up to 10% of symptomatic athletes during practice and competition.

39. Abnormal venous return: Still a challenge for electrophysiology procedures? A case report.

Author

Robles AG, Borrelli A, de Ruvo E, Sciarra L, Scarà A, De Luca L, Grieco D, and Calò L

Abstract

Catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias is usually performed through the femoral venous approach. Systemic venous return anomalies such as interruption of the inferior vena cava may represent a challenge during electrophysiological procedures. A 55-year-old patient with previous surgical correction of abnormal pulmonary venous return was admitted for poorly tolerated atrial flutter recurrences. He also had an interrupted inferior vena cava continuing as azygos vein and left superior vena cava draining via coronary sinus into the right atrium. Cavotricuspid isthmus radiofrequency ablation was successfully performed through the persistent left superior vena cava using a three-dimensional (3D) electroanatomical mapping system. Despite systemic venous abnormalities may potentially have important implications during electrophysiological procedures, arrhythmias can be successfully ablated with the aid of 3D electroanatomical mapping systems. < Learning objective: Congenital venous return anomalies can represent significant difficulties in accessing catheters to the cardiac chambers during electrophysiological procedures, which may be facilitated by three-dimensional mapping systems. Radiofrequency ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus can be successfully performed using the femoral approach and introducing catheters into the right atrium sequentially through the femoral-iliac venous axis, the azygos vein, the persistent left superior vena cava, and the coronary sinus.>., (© 2020 Japanese College of Cardiology.
