Compared with conventional electrophysiological mapping of radiofrequency catheter ablation of the prema-ture ventricular contractions in the ventricular outflow tract / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation ( RFCA) in premature ven-tricular contractions ( PVCs) by electrophysiological mapping.Methods 60 patients with symptomatic PVCs original from the right ventricular outflow tract underwent RFCA guided by pace mapping and activation mapping,ablation was performed by a catheter with temperature control.The patients were divided into 3 groups,20 cases in each group.The first group ( the combination group ) was the combination with pacing mapping and activation mapping underwent RFCA.The second group ( the activation mapping group) was guided by activation mapping underwent RFCA.The third group( the pacing mapping group) was guided by pacing mapping underwent RFCA.Successful ablation immedi-ate end was that PVCs disappeared and could not be induced by isoproterenol.The success rate,time and composition ratio of the three groups were observed.Results The immediate success rate of ablation of either the combination group or the activation mapping group was higher than that of the pacing mapping group.But the ablation time of the combination group was the shortest.There was no statistical difference between the baseline results of each test group. The cardiac arrhythmia originated from the septum was usual (45/60,75.0%),and the arrhythmia originated from the free wall (15/60,25.0%) was less.The success rate of PVCs ablation of right ventricle was high,and the total success rate was 91.7%(55/60).There was no significant difference in the success rate of the combined mapping and the activation mapping (χ2 =0.084,P>0.05),but were significantly higher than those in the pacing mapping group (χ2 =0.032,0.047,all P<0.05).The ablation time of the pacing mapping group and the combination group were significantly lower than that of the activation mapping group(all P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of the com-bination with pacing mapping and activation mapping is the best.Pacing mapping is better than activation mapping during RFCA of PVCs.
