BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is less effective in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF). Adjunctive ablation targeting low voltage areas (LVAs) may improve arrhythmia outcomes.
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to compare the outcomes of adding posterior wall isolation (PWI) to PVI, vs PVI alone in PsAF patients with posterior wall LVAs.
METHODS: The CAPLA (Effect of Catheter Ablation Using Pulmonary Vein Isolation With vs Without Posterior Left Atrial Wall Isolation on Atrial Arrhythmia Recurrence in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation) study was a multicenter, randomized trial involving PsAF patients randomized 1:1 to either PVI alone or PVI with PWI. Voltage mapping performed during pacing pre-ablation was reviewed offline, with LVA defined as bipolar voltage of <0.5 mV. The primary endpoint was freedom from any documented atrial arrhythmia of >30 seconds off antiarrhythmic medication at 12 months after a single ablation procedure in patients with posterior LVA.
RESULTS: A total of 210 patients (average 64.6 ± 9.2 years,73.3% males, median atrial fibrillation duration 4.5 months [IQR: 2 to 8 months]) underwent multipolar left atrial mapping during coronary sinus pacing with posterior LVA present in 69 (32.9%). Patients with posterior LVA were more likely to have LVA in other atrial regions (91.7% vs 57.1%; P < 0.01), larger left atrial diameter (4.8 cm vs 4.4 cm; P < 0.01), and significantly increased risk of atrial arrhythmia recurrence at 12 months (LVA: 56.5% vs no LVA: 41.4%; HR: 1.51; 95% CI: 1.01-2.27; P = 0.04) compared to no posterior LVA. However, the addition of PWI to PVI did not significantly improve freedom from atrial arrhythmia recurrence over PVI alone (PVI with PWI: 44.8% vs PVI: 41.9%; HR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.51-1.79; P = 0.95).
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with PsAF undergoing catheter ablation, posterior LVA was associated with a significant increase in atrial arrhythmia recurrence. However, the addition of PWI in those with posterior LVA did not reduce atrial arrhythmia recurrence over PVI alone.
