The comparison between the novel technique and conventional method in the catheter ablation of premature ventricular contractions originating from the free wall of tricuspid annulus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of a novel technique for catheter ablation in patients with premature ventricular contraction (PVC) from the free wall of tricuspid annulus (TV).

Hypothesis

We hypothesized that the novel technique is more efficacious than the traditional approach.

Methods

We retrospectively investigated 59 consecutive patients with PVC originating from the free wall of TV between January 2013 and November 2021. The patients were divided into two groups: the reversed S-curve technique group (RST, n = 26) and the reversed C-curve technique group (RCT, n = 33). The RST under the support of a steerable sheath was used in RST group, while the RCT under the support of a nonsteerable sheath was used in the RCT group. Systema
