BACKGROUND: Few methods have been reported to demonstrate real-time effects during vein of Marshall (VOM) ethanol infusion in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF).
OBJECTIVE: This study was to evaluate the impact of left atrial (LA) monitoring using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) during VOM ethanol infusion.
METHODS: Seventy-four consecutive patients with PeAF who underwent VOM ethanol infusion followed by radiofrequency (RF) ablation were included. Patients with findings on ICE consistent with echogenic streaming in the LA and with increased myocardial local echogenicity along the VOM area were placed into one group (group A) and those without into the other group (group B). Outcomes between the 2 groups were compared.
RESULTS: Forty-six patients (62%) were placed into group A. A new ethanol-induced low-voltage area in group A was larger than that in group B (8.5 cm2 [5.5-10.2 cm2] and 4.0 cm2 (2.4-6.3 cm2]; P < .001). The RF ablation time required to achieve MI block was reduced in group A patients (263.0 seconds [196.0-351.0 seconds] vs 417.0 seconds [315.0-709.5 seconds] in group B patients; P < .001). MI block was achieved in 46 patients (100%) via an endocardial approach in group A and 27 patients (96.4%) in group B (extra coronary sinus ablation in 4 patients). One patient developed clinically significant pericardial effusions and required pericardiocentesis in group B.
CONCLUSION: Presence of increased myocardial local echogenicity at the ridge and consistent echogenic streaming in the LA detected by ICE-based imaging during VOM ethanol infusion suggests increased ablated tissue in that region and lower RF ablation time during ablation for PeAF.
