Total activation mapping in a patient with an epicardial accessory pathway.

ABSTRACT: A 42-year-old man was admitted for recurrent atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia. We performed a total activation mapping, which included a range from the ventricular to atrial waves during right ventricular pacing. The mapping revealed a delayed ventriculoatrial conduction on the left lateral wall. We performed ablation within the coronary sinus, and the ventriculoatrial conduction was lost. By widening the range, we could easily visualize the ventriculoatrial conduction through the accessory pathway. This mapping showed that the conduction in the area of the accessory pathway was delayed, and it was easy to estimate that the conduction pathway included the coronary sinus.

Single-shot cryoablation of an epicardial inferoparaseptal accessory pathway: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCatheter ablation (CA) of epicardial accessory pathways (APs) can be performed via the coronary sinus (CS) system. Variable CS anatomy with complications of former CA procedures inside the CS venous system may require using alternative CA approach and technology.Case summaryWe report the case of a 23-year-old man with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and history of aborted sudden cardiac death (SCD) and unsuccessful previous AP radiofrequency ablation (RFA). CS venography during the redo procedure revealed an early CS trifurcation with cardiac veins stenosis, thus with difficulties in maintaining cardiac veins' access and catheter manoeuvring inside CS venous system. The last office visit with electrocardiogram (ECG) performance was in 3 months after the CA. Neither delta wave on the ECG nor any complaints/adverse health effects was detected at that time.DiscussionSuccessful CA of epicardial AP in patients with a high risk of SCD is essential. However, CS complex anatomy and changes after former RFA inside it may lead to CS venous system access limitations. Alternative CA approach and technology should be considered to ensure CS venous system cannulation and epicardial AP CA performance.

Percutaneous Catheter Ablation of Epicardial Accessory Pathways.

Project description:Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is the treatment of choice in patients with accessory pathways (APs) and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Endocardial catheter ablation has limitations, including the inability to map and ablate intramural or subepicardial APs. Some of these difficulties can be overcome using an epicardial approach performed through the epicardial venous system or by percutaneous catheterisation of the pericardial space. When a suspected left inferior or infero-paraseptal AP is refractory to ablation or no early activation is found at the endocardium, a transvenous approach via the coronary sinus is warranted because such epicardial pathways can be in close proximity to the coronary venous system. Associated congenital abnormalities, such as right atrial appendage, right ventricle diverticulum, coronary sinus diverticulum and absence of coronary sinus ostium, may also hamper a successful outcome. Percutaneous epicardial subxiphoid approach should be considered when endocardial or transvenous mapping and ablation fails. Epicardial mapping may be successful. It can guide and enhance the effectiveness of endocardial ablation. The finding of no epicardial early activation leads to a more persistent new endocardial attempt. When both endocardial and epicardial ablation are unsuccessful, open-chest surgery is the only option to eliminate the AP.

Open window mapping for redo accessory pathway ablation in Ebstein anomaly.

Project description:Accessory pathway ablation in Ebstein anomaly can be significantly more challenging than in structurally normal hearts. An alternative to the conventional approach to mapping APs is to detect points with a high-density mapping catheter based on an automated detection algorithm using open window mapping. It detects the sharpest signal at each point with high-density mapping rather than relying on the origin of the local electrogram to localize the pathway and determine a site for successful ablation. We herein report the first case in literature of a redo-accessory pathway ablation in Ebstein anomaly using this technique.

An improved procedure for isolating adult mouse cardiomyocytes for epicardial activation mapping.

Project description:Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Although genetically modified mouse models offer great potential for robust research in vivo, in vitro studies using isolated cardiomyocytes also provide an important approach for investigating the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease pathogenesis and drug actions. Currently, isolation of mouse adult cardiomyocytes often relies on aortic retrograde intubation under a stereoscopic microscope, which poses considerable technical barriers and requires extensive training. Although a simplified, Langendorff-free method has been used to isolate viable cardiomyocytes from the adult mouse heart, the system requires enzymatic digestions and continuous manual technical operation. This study established an optimized approach that allows isolation of adult mouse cardiomyocytes and epicardial activation mapping of mouse hearts using a Langendorff device. We used retrograde puncture through the abdominal aorta in vivo and enzymatic digestion on the Langendorff perfusion device to isolate adult mouse cardiomyocytes without using a microscope. The yields of isolated cardiomyocytes were amenable to patch clamp techniques. Furthermore, this approach allowed epicardial activation mapping. We used a novel, simplified method to isolate viable cardiomyocytes from adult mouse hearts and to map epicardial activation. This novel approach could be beneficial in more extensive research in the cardiac field.

High-resolution mapping and ablation of recurrent left lateral accessory pathway conduction.

Project description:Proper localization of the anatomical target during ablation of the accessory pathways (AP) and the ability to detect clear AP potentials on the ablation catheter are crucial for successful AP ablation. We report a case of recurring AP conduction that was finally eliminated using a novel ablation catheter equipped with high-resolution mini-electrodes. Smaller and closer electrodes result in high mapping resolution with less signal averaging and cancellation effects. Owing to improved sensitivity, the new catheter seems effective in detecting fragmented and high frequency signals, thus allowing more effective radiofrequency application and improving ablation success.
