摘要

Several approaches have been proposed to address the challenge of catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the optimal ablation strategy is unknown. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) plus low-voltage area (LVA) ablation using contemporary high-density mapping to identify LVA in patients with persistent AF.Consecutive patients accepted for AF catheter ablation were studied. High-density bipolar voltage mapping data were acquired in sinus rhythm using multipolar catheters to detect LVA (defined as bipolar voltage < 0.5 mV). Semiautomated impedance-based software was used to ensure catheter contact during data collection. Patients underwent PVI + LVA ablation (if LVA present).A total of 145 patients were studied; 95 patients undergoing PVI + LVA ablation were compared with 50 controls treated with PVI only. Average age was 61 ± 10 years, and 80% were male. Baseline characteristics were comparable. Freedom from atrial tachycardia/AF at 18 months was 72% after PVI + LVA ablation vs 58% in controls (P = 0.022). Median procedure duration (273 [240, 342] vs 305 [262, 360] minutes; P = 0.019) and radiofrequency delivery (50 [43, 63] vs 55 [35, 68] minutes; P = 0.39) were longer in the PVI + LVA ablation group. Multivariable analysis showed that the ablation strategy (PVI + LVA) was the only independent predictor of freedom from atrial tachycardia/AF (hazard ratio, 0.53; 95% confidence interval, 0.29-0.96; P = 0.036). There were no adverse safety outcomes associated with LVA ablation.An individualized strategy of high-density mapping to assess the atrial substrate followed by PVI combined with LVA ablation is associated with improved outcomes. Adequately powered randomized clinical trials are needed to determine the role of PVI + LVA ablation for persistent AF.
