Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel method of non-thermal cardiac ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). Its use on patients with pre-existing Watchman devices has not been studied.

Methods: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) utilizing PFA was performed in 7 patients with symptomatic AF and implanted Watchman devices. All cases were conducted at a single academic center.

Results: Successful PVI in patients with Watchman devices implanted at a median time of 534 days prior to the index ablation procedure (IQR 365 days) was achieved in all cases. No major adverse events (intraprocedural CVA, post-procedural CVA, major or minor bleeding events, device embolization, or cardiac tamponade) were observed. In 6 of 7 patients, a low-dose direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) strategy was implemented post-PFA.

Conclusion: We present the first reported case series of PFA in patients with AF and implanted Watchman devices. This study highlights the safety and feasibility of the FARAPULSE PFA system in this patient population.

背景:脉冲场消融术(PFA)是一种治疗心房颤动(AF)的新型非热心脏消融方法。目前尚未对其在已使用 Watchman 设备的患者身上的应用进行研究:方法:对 7 名有症状房颤并植入 Watchman 设备的患者进行了利用 PFA 的肺静脉隔离 (PVI)。所有病例均在一家学术中心进行:所有病例均在消融术前中位时间 534 天(IQR 365 天)成功为植入 Watchman 装置的患者进行了 PVI。未观察到重大不良事件(术中 CVA、术后 CVA、重大或轻微出血事件、装置栓塞或心脏填塞)。7例患者中有6例在PFA术后使用了低剂量直接口服抗凝剂(DOAC):我们首次报道了植入 Watchman 装置的房颤患者的 PFA 病例系列。本研究强调了 FARAPULSE PFA 系统在此类患者中的安全性和可行性。

Background: The association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and mental health is well-documented, but the relative benefits of catheter ablation versus medical therapy on mental health and quality of life are not clearly understood. This study assesses the impact of these interventions on AF patients' mental health and quality of life.

Methods: Through a systematic review of PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing catheter ablation to medical therapy for AF were analyzed. The study focused on a range of outcomes, particularly mental health and quality of life, measured by tools including the SF-36 mental component, HADS, SF-36 physical component, and AFEQT scores, among others. Analyses were stratified by AF type (paroxysmal versus persistent) and synthesized using random or fixed-effects models to calculate mean differences (MDs) or standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results: From 24 RCTs totaling 6,353 patients (51.4% receiving catheter ablation, 71.1% male, average age 59), catheter ablation was found to significantly improve mental health (SMD 0.34; 95% CI 0.05-0.63; p = 0.02) and quality of life as indicated by PCS SF-36 (MD 2.64; 95% CI 1.06-4.26; p < 0.01) and AFEQT scores (MD 6.24; 95% CI 4.43-8.05; p < 0.01), with no significant difference in outcomes between AF subtypes.

Conclusion: Catheter ablation offers significant improvements in mental health and quality of life over medical therapy for AF patients, demonstrating its efficacy across different types of AF.

背景:心房颤动(房颤)与心理健康之间的关系已得到充分证实,但导管消融与药物治疗对心理健康和生活质量的相对益处尚不清楚。本研究评估了这些干预措施对房颤患者心理健康和生活质量的影响:方法:通过对 PubMed、Scopus 和 Cochrane 数据库进行系统回顾,分析了导管消融与房颤药物治疗的随机对照试验 (RCT)。研究重点关注一系列结果,尤其是心理健康和生活质量,测量工具包括 SF-36 心理部分、HADS、SF-36 身体部分和 AFEQT 评分等。根据房颤类型(阵发性与持续性)进行分层分析,并使用随机或固定效应模型进行综合分析,计算平均差(MDs)或标准化平均差(SMDs)及95%置信区间(CIs):结果:从 24 项研究共 6353 名患者(51.4% 接受导管消融术,71.1% 为男性,平均年龄 59 岁)中发现,导管消融术可显著改善心理健康(SMD 0.34;95% CI 0.05-0.63;P = 0.02)和生活质量(PCS SF-36)(MD 2.64;95% CI 1.06-4.26;P 结论:导管消融术可显著改善心理健康(SMD 0.34;95% CI 0.05-0.63;P = 0.02)和生活质量(PCS SF-36):与药物治疗相比,导管消融能显著改善房颤患者的心理健康和生活质量,这证明了它对不同类型房颤的疗效。

Morphometry of left atrial appendage isthmus and mitral isthmus: implications for atrial fibrillation catheter ablation. 左心房阑尾峡部和二尖瓣峡部的形态测量:对心房颤动导管消融的影响。
IF 2.1 4区 医学 Q3 CARDIAC & CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS Pub Date : 2024-11-01 Epub Date: 2024-08-02 DOI: 10.1007/s10840-024-01896-7

Background: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) targets the left atrial appendage isthmus (LAA isthmus) and mitral isthmus for treatment of atrial fibrillation. However, proximity of left circumflex artery (LCxA) and great cardiac vein (GCV) in the isthmuses poses fatal risks during ablation.

Methods: This study investigated relationships of LCxA and GCV across three lines in the LAA and mitral isthmus, using 15 human cadaveric hearts. Distances between the vessels and the endocardium, myocardium, and perivascular fat thickness were measured.

Results: The results showed that LCxA was mostly consistently located in lower atrial segments and GCV was in lower/upper atrial segments, with change of course mainly observed in the middle of the LAA. The LCxA was found as close as 3-5 mm from the lower border of the LAA isthmus in 80% of specimens, at a depth of 2-3 mm within the LAA isthmus, where 1 mm consisted of myocardium and the remainder was fat, which may not provide adequate protection due to the possibility of liquefaction of fat with heat application. The effective myocardial thickness was consistently 1 mm across all cases in both isthmuses. LCxA was 2 mm in second and third sections of LAA isthmus ("careful segment"). LCxA distances from left inferior pulmonary vein opening was 5 to 12 mm, occasionally dangerously close as <1 mm in 16% of cases.

Conclusion: This study measured LCxA and GCV in the LAA and mitral isthmus across three lines for the first time in the Indian population, aiding surgeons in RFA planning.

背景:射频导管消融术(RFA)针对左房阑尾峡部(LAA峡部)和二尖瓣峡部治疗心房颤动。然而,由于峡部邻近左侧环状动脉(LCxA)和心脏大静脉(GCV),消融过程中存在致命风险:本研究使用 15 例人体尸体心脏,调查了 LAA 和二尖瓣峡部三条线上 LCxA 和 GCV 的关系。测量了血管与心内膜、心肌和血管周围脂肪厚度之间的距离:结果表明,LCxA 大部分始终位于心房下段,而 GCV 则位于心房下段/上段,主要在 LAA 中部观察到走向变化。在 80% 的标本中,LCxA 位于距离 LAA 峡下缘 3-5 mm 的位置,深度为 LAA 峡内 2-3 mm,其中 1 mm 为心肌,其余为脂肪。在所有病例中,两个峡部的有效心肌厚度均为 1 毫米。LCA峡部第二和第三段("小心段")的 LCxA 为 2 毫米。LCxA 与左下肺静脉开口的距离为 5 至 12 毫米,有时甚至非常接近:本研究首次在印度人群中测量了 LAA 和二尖瓣峡部三条线的 LCxA 和 GCV,有助于外科医生制定 RFA 计划。

Background: While ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (VOM) as an adjunct to atrial fibrillation ablation has shown promise, adoption has been limited by the technical expertise required, unclear antiarrhythmic mechanism, and complication risk. Delayed pericardial effusions have been associated with ethanol infusion into the VOM in prior studies. Very little is known about how the procedural approach itself can impact the risk of delayed effusions. We sought to understand the incidence and influence of procedural technique on complications including delayed pericardial effusions from VOM ethanol infusion at a large single medical center.

Methods: A total of 275 atrial ablation cases wherein VOM ethanol infusion was attempted were identified from the time of the program's inception in 2019 at Maine Medical Center (Portland, ME) until October of 2023. Cases were classified into phase I cases (early experience) and phase II cases (later experience) based upon temporal programmatic changes in the ethanol dose and infusion rate as well as the use of routine VOM venography. Procedural details and complications were adjudicated from the medical record.

Results: The overall VOM ethanol infusion success was 91.4%. Nine complications (3.3%) occurred in eight patients (2.9% of patients). These were more frequent in phase I (5.8%) compared to phase II (1.3%, p = 0.047). This difference was driven by a difference in delayed presentations of tamponade, which occurred in four patients in phase I (3.3%) and in no patients in phase II (0%, p = 0.037). Twelve-month estimated atrial arrhythmia freedom did not differ between groups (73.8% phase I vs 70.4% phase II, p = 0.24).

Conclusion: In our single-center experience, adjustments to the procedural approach with lower ethanol infusion rate and dosage, combined with utilizing selective VOM venography, associated with a lowering of complication rates and in particular, delayed pericardial tamponade.

背景:虽然将乙醇注入马歇尔静脉(VOM)作为心房颤动消融术的辅助手段已显示出良好的前景,但由于所需的专业技术、抗心律失常机制不明确以及并发症风险等原因,其应用一直受到限制。在之前的研究中,乙醇注入 VOM 与延迟性心包积液有关。关于手术方法本身如何影响延迟渗出的风险,目前所知甚少。我们试图了解一个大型单一医疗中心的手术技术对并发症的发生率和影响,包括VOM乙醇输注引起的延迟性心包积液:从缅因州波特兰市缅因医疗中心(Maine Medical Center)2019 年开始实施该项目到 2023 年 10 月,共确定了 275 例尝试 VOM 乙醇输注的心房消融病例。根据乙醇剂量和输注速度以及常规 VOM 静脉造影的使用情况,将病例分为第一阶段病例(早期经验)和第二阶段病例(后期经验)。手术细节和并发症根据病历进行判定:结果:VOM 乙醇输注的总体成功率为 91.4%。八名患者(占患者总数的 2.9%)出现了九种并发症(3.3%)。第一阶段(5.8%)的并发症发生率高于第二阶段(1.3%,P = 0.047)。这一差异是由延迟出现的血栓栓塞引起的,第一阶段有四名患者(3.3%)出现了血栓栓塞,而第二阶段没有患者出现血栓栓塞(0%,P = 0.037)。12个月的估计房性心律失常自由度在各组之间没有差异(I期73.8% vs II期70.4%,p = 0.24):在我们的单中心经验中,调整手术方法,降低乙醇输注速度和剂量,结合使用选择性 VOM 静脉造影,可降低并发症发生率,尤其是延迟性心包填塞。

Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the correlation between atrial electrogram duration map (AEDUM), spatiotemporal electrogram dispersion (STED) and low voltage areas (LVA) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF).

Background: The degree of left atrial (LA) tissue remodelling and augmented anisotropic conduction is one of the major issues related to PsAF ablation outcome.

Methods: This study enrolled consecutive patients with PsAF undergoing pulmonary vein isolation. In all patients, voltage, AEDUM and STED maps were created, and the correlation was reported between these three mapping methods.

Results: A total of 40 patients with PsAF were enrolled. The mean age was 62.2 ± 7.4 years, and males were 72.5% (n = 29). The overall bipolar voltage of the LA was 3.06 ± 1.87 mV. All patients had at least one AEDUM area (overall AEDUM area: 21.8 ± 8.2 cm2); the mean longest electrogram (EGMs) duration was 90 ± 19 ms. STED areas with < 120 ms was 46.3 ± 20.2 cm2 which covered 45 ± 22% of the LA surface. AEDUM and STED areas were most frequently reported on the roof, the anterior wall and the septum. The extension of the AEDUM areas was significantly smaller than STED areas with CL < 120 ms (21.8 ± 8.2 vs 46.3 ± 20.2; p-value < 0.0001). In 24 patients (60%), AEDUM areas was entirely included in the STED areas with CL < 120 ms. In the three (7.5%) patients with LVA, no correspondence with STED and AEDUM was noted.

Conclusion: AEDUM and STED maps allow to identify areas of conductive dysfunction as a possible atrial substrate even if a normal voltage is detected.

研究目的本研究旨在描述持续性心房颤动(PsAF)患者的心房电图时程图(AEDUM)、时空电图弥散(STED)和低电压区(LVA)之间的相关性:背景:左心房(LA)组织重塑和各向异性传导增强的程度是与 PsAF 消融结果相关的主要问题之一:本研究连续收治了接受肺静脉隔绝术的 PsAF 患者。所有患者均绘制了电压图、AEDUM 图和 STED 图,并报告了这三种绘图方法之间的相关性:共有 40 名 PsAF 患者入选。平均年龄为 62.2 ± 7.4 岁,男性占 72.5%(n = 29)。LA 的总体双极电压为 3.06 ± 1.87 mV。所有患者至少有一个AEDUM区域(总体AEDUM区域:21.8 ± 8.2平方厘米);平均最长电图(EGMs)持续时间为90 ± 19毫秒。STED区域有2个,覆盖LA表面的45±22%。AEDUM和STED区域最常出现在屋顶、前壁和室间隔。结论:即使检测到正常电压,AEDUM 和 STED 地图也能将传导功能障碍区域识别为可能的心房基底。

Background: Data are limited regarding infective endocarditis (IE) complicating left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) device procedures. This systematic review examines the etiology, diagnosis, and management of infective endocarditis (IE) following LAAO.

Methods: A comprehensive search of six databases was performed between 2007 and 2022. In selecting studies, articles were included if they provided information about IE complicating LAAO, with relevant clinical and imaging details. Articles were excluded if they were editorials, study protocols, letters, or abstracts.

Results: We identified seven cases of IE complicating LAAO published between 2007 and 2022, from the United States and Europe, highlighting the exceedingly rare reported incidence of the condition. Staphylococcus aureus is the predominant organism implicated in LAAO infections. Echocardiography is a key imaging modality for diagnosing LAAO IE. Both antibiotic therapy and surgical intervention in appropriate patients are important for managing LAAO device-related IE.

Conclusions: The limited data in the current literature regarding LAAO IE underscores the need for prospective clinical trials to establish evidence-based guidelines for infection prophylaxis, diagnosis, and management. Our findings emphasize the importance of vigilance for device-related infections, especially as the use of LAAO devices continues to grow worldwide.

背景:有关左房阑尾闭塞(LAAO)装置手术并发感染性心内膜炎(IE)的数据有限。本系统性综述探讨了 LAAO 术后感染性心内膜炎(IE)的病因、诊断和处理:方法:对 2007 年至 2022 年间的六个数据库进行了全面检索。在选择研究时,如果文章提供了有关 LAAO 并发 IE 的信息以及相关的临床和影像学细节,则将其纳入研究范围。如果文章是社论、研究方案、信件或摘要,则排除在外:结果:我们发现了2007年至2022年期间发表的七例美国和欧洲的LAAO并发IE病例,这突显出该病症的报告发病率极为罕见。金黄色葡萄球菌是 LAAO 感染的主要病原体。超声心动图是诊断 LAAO IE 的主要成像方式。抗生素治疗和对合适患者的手术干预对于控制 LAAO 装置相关 IE 非常重要:目前文献中有关 LAAO IE 的数据有限,这突出表明需要进行前瞻性临床试验,以建立以证据为基础的感染预防、诊断和管理指南。我们的研究结果强调了警惕器械相关感染的重要性,尤其是随着 LAAO 器械的使用在全球范围内持续增长。
