Ripple map delineation of the reentrant circuit in a tricuspid annular atrial tachycardia mimicking focal activity.

Project description:A 70-year-old man with hypertensive heart disease underwent catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation. After completing the pulmonary vein isolation, atrial burst pacing induced an annular atrial tachycardia (AT). Overdrive pacing exhibited constant fusion, indicating a macroreentrant mechanism of the AT. However, the CARTO3 activation map created using the Octaray catheter (both Biosense Webster, Irvine, CA) exhibited a centrifugal spread with the earliest activation site at the 4 o'clock position of the tricuspid annulus. In contrast, the Ripple map revealed a clear reentrant circuit with its isthmus located at the 4-6 o'clock position of the tricuspid annulus. The local electrograms in these areas recorded systolic and diastolic potentials simultaneously, and the misannotation of the large far-field potentials caused this discrepant result. Handling low-amplitude complex fractionated electrograms remains a challenge in creating a precise activation mapping. The Ripple map, especially when combined with the Octaray catheter, was effective in dynamically visualizing all these electrograms and accurately delineating the reentrant circuit.

Single-center experience of ultra-high-density mapping guided catheter ablation of focal atrial tachycardia.

Project description:IntroductionCatheter ablation is the treatment of choice for recurrent focal atrial tachycardia (FAT) as medical therapy is limited. Routinely, a three-dimensional mapping system is used. Whether or not optimized signal detection does improve ablation success rates has not yet been investigated. This retrospective cohort study compared ablation procedures using an ultra-high-density mapping system (UHDM, Rhythmia, Boston Scientific) with improved signal detection and automatic annotation with procedures using a conventional electroanatomic mapping system (CEAM, Biosense Webster, CARTO).MethodsAll patients undergoing ablation for FAT using UHDM or CEAM from April 2015 to August 2018 were included. Endpoints comprised procedural parameters, acute success as well as freedom from arrhythmia 12 months after ablation.ResultsA total of 70 patients underwent ablation (48 with UHDM, 22 with CEAM). No significant differences were noted for parameters like procedural and radiation duration, area dose, and RF applications. Acute success was significantly higher in the UHDM cohort (89.6% vs. 68.2%, p = .03). Nevertheless, arrhythmia freedom 12 months after ablation was almost identical (56.8% vs. 60%, p = .87), as more patients with acute success of ablation presented with a relapse during follow-up (35.0 vs. 7.7%, p = .05).ConclusionAcute success rate of FAT ablation might be improved by UHDM, without an adverse effect on procedural parameters. Nevertheless, further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanism for increased recurrence rates after acute successful ablation.

Focal Atrial Tachycardia Originating From the Right Atrial Appendage Masquerading as Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia.

Project description:Focal atrial tachycardia arising from the right atrial appendage (RAAT) may be misdiagnosed as sinus tachycardia. The electrocardiogram from this case demonstrates a negative notched P-wave in leads V1 and V2 during RAAT compared with a beat of sinus rhythm. RAAT was confirmed and eliminated with mapping and ablation. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Incomplete ablation as a mechanism of atrial fibrillation recurrence and atrial tachycardia development after maze procedure.

Project description:ObjectiveAtrial tachyarrhythmias are the most frequent complication after the maze procedure. We examined the mechanism of atrial tachyarrhythmias in association with the ablation energy and technique used at each lesion and by the findings of postoperative electrophysiological study.MethodsFour-hundred fifty-three patients who underwent the maze procedure with biatrial incisions and bilateral pulmonary vein (PV) isolation were examined for the incidence and mechanism of recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and development of atrial tachycardia (AT). PV isolation was performed by radiofrequency (RF) ablation, cryothermia, or cut-and-sew technique. The atrioventricular isthmi and the coronary sinus (CS) were ablated by RF, cryothermia, or a combination of these.ResultsOf 443 patients who survived surgery (98%), 54 patients (12.2%) had recurrent AF and 36 patients (8.1%) developed AT during the median of 28 months (interquartile range, 3-75) postoperatively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed preoperative left atrial dimension and nonperformance of intraoperative PV pacing were the independent predictors for AF recurrence. Electrophysiologic study in patients with AT demonstrated incomplete ablation in 24 patients (67%), most frequently at the CS in 16 patients (67%), and non-PV focal activations in 16 patients (44%). Preoperative New York Heart Association functional class of 1 and nonperformance of additional epicardial ablation of the CS were the independent predictors for postoperative AT development.ConclusionsIncomplete ablation is a cause of AF recurrence and AT development after the maze procedure. Intraoperative PV pacing prevents AF recurrence and additional epicardial CS ablation prevents AT development.

Entrapment of focal atrial tachycardia using cryoballoon ablation; Sinus rhythm in the left atrium and ongoing atrial tachycardia in the left atrial appendage.

Project description:Left atrial appendage (LAA) is a well-known source of focal atrial tachycardias (AT). Although radio-frequency (RF) energy is the most commonly used technique in such cases, there was an option other than epicardial approach when RF technique fails. Cryoballoon technology is primarily developed to be used for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Also, there was no report regarding the isolation of LAA by using cryo-balloon in patients with focal AT. In this case, for the first time in the literature, we successfully isolated the LAA because of failed attempts of RF ablation for focal AT in whom the surface electrogram showed a sinus rhythm while arrhythmia continues inside the LAA.
