Characteristics of right pulmonary vein with an epicardial connection needing additional carina ablation for isolation.

Project description:BackgroundThis study thought to elucidate the anatomical features that can predict an epicardial connection (EC) between the right pulmonary vein (RPV) and right atrium.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 251 consecutive patients undergoing initial radiofrequency pulmonary vein isolation. We defined EC as present when RPV could not be isolated with circumferential ablation and additional ablation for the conduction gap if needed, and RPV isolation could be achieved by ablation for the earliest activation site >10 mm inside the initial ablation line. Using computed tomography data, we evaluated the RPV bifurcation angle, and the area occupation ratio of the carina region to the RPV antrum (ARC) for predicting EC. In subjects with EC undergoing RPV activation mapping after circumferential ablation, the correlation between conduction delay and bipolar/unipolar potential voltage in the carina region was investigated.ResultsThere were ECs in 45 out of 251 patients (17.9%). The RPV bifurcation angle (47.7° vs. 38.8°, p < .001) and ARC (37.2% vs. 29.7%, p < .001) were significantly greater in the EC (+) group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that RPV bifurcation angle (odds ratio [OR]: 1.994, p = .002) and ARC (OR: 3.490, p = .013) were independent predictors of EC. In nine patients with EC undergoing carina region mapping, the unipolar potential voltage was correlated with conduction delay in RPV with EC (R = -0.401, p < .001).ConclusionAnatomical features suggesting a wider RPV carina region could predict the presence of EC, and potential with high voltage could be helpful for detecting EC connection sites.

Echocardiographic Hypertrabeculated/Non-compacted Right Ventricle Accompanied by Atrial Septal Defect and Anomalous Pulmonary Vein Connection.

Project description:Myocardial noncompaction (NC) is a disorder of the embryonic endomyocardial morphogenesis frequently associated with congenital cardiac abnormalities. NC predominantly affects the left ventricle (LV). Right ventricle (RV) NC may occur in association with LV involvement or in isolation. A 47-year-old woman was admitted for atrial septal defect closure. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed hypertrabeculation of the RV apex, consisting of multiple deep recesses with the entrance of blood flow in color Doppler imaging, suggestive of isolated RV hypertrabeculation/NC. The RV and right atrium (RA) were enlarged, and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure was slightly increased. Our patient's associated abnormalities were atrial septal defect (superior sinus venosus type), anomalous connection of the right upper pulmonary vein to the junction of the superior vena cava and the RA, and large patent foramen ovale. Association between atrial septal defect and partial anomalous pulmonary vein connection and isolated hypertrabeculated/noncompacted RV should be considered by cardiologists.

Epicardial connection(s) inside the pulmonary vein antrum isolation lines contribute to subsequent atrial fibrillation: a case report.

Project description:AimsRecent reports have demonstrated that ∼10% of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) have epicardial connections (ECs) inside the pulmonary vein (PV) antrum isolation (AI) (PVAI) lines, which could be a possible mechanism of failure to achieve a complete PVAI, thus contributing to AF recurrence.Case summaryWe present an 80-year-old female case with consistently continuing AF associated with ECs. Epicardial connections involving the PVs were detected in the left and right superior PVs after the completion of the PVAI. The AF steadily terminated after the ablation of those ECs. She has remained well without any AF or symptoms for 2 years post-ablation.DiscussionThose ECs might have played a possible important role in initiating and maintaining the AF. The mechanism(s) of the ECs may be a cornerstone of the failure to achieve a complete PVAI contributing to AF recurrence. Ablation of the EC(s) in addition to the PVAI may be better able to achieve the completion of the PVAI. Thus, physicians should be aware of the possibility of the presence of EC(s) when performing ablation of AF, even though complete PVAI lines have been achieved.

Percutaneous transcatheter treatment for partial anomalous pulmonary right venous connection to the superior caval vein without atrial septal defect.

Project description:We developed technique similar to transcatheter treatment for superior sinus venosus defects to treat a patient with a Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection of the right upper pulmonary veins (RUPV) without an atrial septal defect. A double transseptal puncture was performed, and the left atrium (LA) was connected with the RUPV using a covered stent. The blood flow from the superior vena cava was directed to the right atrium (RA) using a second covered stent.

Pulmonary vein isolation alone versus pulmonary vein isolation with additional extensive ablation for paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation.

Project description:BackgroundThe value of additional ablation beyond pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is unclear, especially for persistent AF. It is uncertain whether substrate modification with additional extensive ablation improves outcomes. We reviewed our experience to determine whether pulmonary vein isolation with additional extensive ablation (PVIEA) improves outcomes compared to pulmonary vein isolation alone (PVIA) for AF ablation.MethodsConsecutive cases of patients with PVIA versus PVIEA were compared between September 9, 2013 and December 12, 2020. Procedural data collected include radiofrequency ablation delivery time (RADT) and arrhythmia inducibility. Clinical data collected include sinus rhythm maintenance post-procedure.ResultsA total of 235 patients were studied (67 PVIA and 168 PVIEA). RADT was shorter when comparing ablation with PVIA versus PVIEA (32 vs. 40 min; p = .04). More arrhythmias were inducible with PVIEA (p < .01). There was no difference in sinus rhythm maintenance by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (log-rank test p = .75), after 3 or 12 months between groups overall, and when stratified by AF type (paroxysmal and persistent), left atrial volume, CHA2DS2-VASc score, left ventricular ejection fraction, or catheter ablation setting (high-power short-duration, standard-power standard-duration, temperature-controlled non-contact-force).ConclusionAF ablation with PVIA or PVIEA produces similar sinus rhythm maintenance overall and when stratified by catheter setting and AF type. PVIA reduced procedure times and less arrhythmias were inducible post-ablation.

Identification of interatrial epicardial connections between the right-sided pulmonary veins and right atrium using coherent map.

Project description:A 43-year-old man underwent circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for persistent atrial fibrillation. Although first-pass circumferential PV antrum ablation was performed, complete PVI was not obtained. A gap map showed the site of earliest activation was the right-sided PV carina, which was the same site of breakthrough on the left atrium map before ablation. Using a coherent map enabled us easily and clearly to evaluate the breakthrough sites. To identify whether the conduction from the right PV carina connected to adjacent structures, an activation map was obtained during pacing from the right PV carina. This revealed that the site of earliest activation was the posterior right atrium (RA) and implied a direct connection between the right-sided PVs and RA. The first radiofrequency (RF) application in the posterior RA resulted in only temporary isolation of the right-sided PVs with bi-directional block. Therefore, we performed a second set of RF applications to the right PV carina. PVI was obtained immediately after initiating the second set of applications and no further reconnection was observed.Learning objectivePulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is widely accepted as an atrial fibrillation ablation procedure. Previous anatomical studies have revealed the presence of epicardial muscular bundles/fibers connecting the right-sided PVs and right atrium. In some patients, the presence of epicardial connections (ECs) precludes successful first-pass PVI. Identification and elimination of these connections is imperative to achieve complete PVI. The coherent map was useful for evaluating ECs.
