RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Noninvasive electroanatomic mapping (NIEAM) demonstrate patterns of depolarization that are useful in identifying the chamber of origin (COO) in outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias (OTVA). However, its use in predicting exact site of origin (SOO) has not yet been validated. METHODS: NIEAMs (CardioInsight, Medtronic) from 40 patients (age 62.5 ± 2.6) undergoing ablation for OTVA were reviewed for diagnostic accuracy in predicting the SOO. Earliest arrhythmia breakout and directionality of earliest instantaneous unipolar electrograms (uEGMs) on NIEAMs were evaluated subjectively by two observers for quality and amplitude. Sites with most negative earliest uEGMs on right and left ventricular outflow tracts, as well as epicardial surface were manually identified. Using NIEAM-based activation timing of the lateral mitral annulus and basal septum COO was identified for each OTVA. Predictions of SOO using NIEAMs was compared with true SOO from invasive study. NIEAMs SOO predictions were compared with subjective 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) review by two observers. RESULTS: Review of arrhythmia breakout and signal directionality had poor diagnostic value in predicting SOO in OTVA (50.6% and 49.4%, 56.6% and 43.4%, respectively) and underperformed compared with ECG interpretation (59.1% and 80.5%). After excluding uEGMs with poor characteristics, the uEGM with most negative amplitude at the COO was predictive of the true SOO with 96.4% sensitivity and specificity. CONCLUSION: We propose a stepwise approach when interpreting NIEAMs for OTVA where patterns of activation are evaluated first to determine the COO, followed by identification of the site with most negative amplitude instantaneous uEGM to determine SOO.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Ventricular premature depolarizations (VPD) commonly arise from the septal anterior right ventricular outflow tract (sRVOT), the left coronary cusp (LCC), and the distal great cardiac vein (dGCV), and share common ECG characteristics. To assess the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive electroanatomic mapping (NIEAM) in differentiating VPD origin between sRVOT, LCC and dGCV and quantify its clinical utility in eliminating unnecessary mapping and ablation. METHODS: ECGs and NIEAMs (CardioInsight, Medtronic) from 32 patients (56.3 ± 15.2 years) undergoing ablation for VPDs originating from sRVOT, LCC, or dGCV were blindly reviewed for their diagnostic accuracy in predicting the SOO. A 2-step algorithm using NIEAM-based activation timing of the superior basal septum of < 22.5 ms and lateral mitral annulus of > 60.5 ms was compared with subjective ECG evaluation, the maximum deflection index (MDI), and the V2 transitional ratio in predicting SOO. We calculated the mapping and ablation time that could have been avoided had the operators relied on activation timing by NIEAM in designing their mapping and ablation strategy. RESULTS: NIEAM was superior to subjective ECG evaluation, MDI, and V2 transition ratio in predicting the SOO yielding a sensitivity and specificity of 96.9% and 98.4% respectively. Using NIEAM in determining the SOO would have obviated 22 ± 4.5 min of mapping in the wrong chamber and prevented unnecessary ablation of 4.5 ± 1.8 min. CONCLUSION: NIEAM has high diagnostic accuracy in differentiating between sRVOT, LCC, and dGCV VPDs, and can significantly reduce mapping time, obviating the need for unnecessary access and ablation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) requires electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins (PV) by wide-area circumferential PV antral isolation (PVAI). Cryoballoon ablation delivers cryoenergy circumferentially after occlusion of the PV by the cryoballoon; thus, it is likely that the level of isolation, determined by adequate balloon-tissue contact, depends on PV anatomy. We sought to examine the need for nonocclusive segmental cryoballoon ablation in achieving antral isolation, describe methods of accurate visualization of the cryoballoon using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), and provide data on biophysical characteristics of an effective nonocclusive cryothermal lesion. METHODS: Forty consecutive patients undergoing catheter ablation with a second-generation 28-mm cryoballoon and electroanatomic mapping (EAM) were included. Balloon was visualized with ICE, and its location was registered in EAM using available technology (CARTOSOUND, Biosense Webster). Need for delivery of nonocclusive lesions was based on level of isolation post occlusive lesions. RESULTS: Nonocclusive lesions to PVAI was required in 26 of 40 patients (65%) or 46 out of 148 veins (31%). Left PVs > 19.4 ± 2.9 mm, right superior PV > 20.2 ± 4.7mm, funnel-shaped PVs, and right PVs not converging to a carina were more likely to require nonocclusive lesions to achieve an antral level of isolation. Projection of balloon contour on EAM using CARTOSOUND successfully predicted level of isolation by voltage mapping. CONCLUSION: Nonocclusive cryoballoon applications are commonly required to achieve antral isolation. Use of ICE can be helpful in determining the accurate location of the balloon and in predicting the level of isolation by voltage map.

RESUMO

A 48-year-old woman with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) underwent an electrophysiology study after 2 previous failed ablations. Noninvasive mapping suggested AF initiation from the right atrial appendage (RAA) with rotational drivers of AF in the RAA. Invasive mapping confirmed these findings. The patient was successfully treated with cryoballoon RAA isolation. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
