PURPOSE: Bidirectional block of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) is an established endpoint of CTI-dependent atrial flutter (AFl) ablation. Differential pacing has been used to evaluate the CTI block. The purpose of this study is to describe a modified differential pacing technique to evaluate the CTI block.
METHODS: Sixty-two patients underwent radiofrequency (RF) ablation of CTI-dependent AFl. The acute endpoints were non-inducibility of the AFl, and verification of the bidirectional CTI block by our methodology. Pacing was performed in the CS with an ablation catheter positioned immediately lateral to the CTI ablation line, and then 1-2 cm more laterally. The stimulus-to-ablation catheter atrial electrogram intervals were measured at these sites (StimCS-Abl1 and StimCS-Abl2, respectively). Pacing with the ablation catheter also was performed at these 2 sites, and the stimulus-to-CS electrogram intervals (StimABL1-CS and StimABL2-CS) were measured. The criteria for the bidirectional block were StimCS-Abl1 > StimCS-Abl2, and StimABL1-CS > StimABL2-CS. Clinical efficacy was defined as freedom from recurrent AFl during follow-up.
RESULTS: Following 12.2 ± 3.7 min of RF delivery across the CTI, intervals were StimCS-Abl1 = 181.2 ± 22.7 ms and StimABL1-CS = 181.0 ± 23.6 ms, and StimCS-Abl2 = 152.2 ± 26.5 ms and StimABL2-CS = 151.2 ± 22.7 (P < 0.001). Atrial flutter was rendered not inducible in all patients, and no procedural complications were encountered. During the next 15.9 ± 0.7 months, two patients were lost to follow-up, and among the 62 other patients, one (1.7%) had flutter recurrence.
CONCLUSIONS: The bidirectional CTI block can be assessed quickly and easily using only the ablation and CS catheters for differential pacing.
