BACKGROUND: A novel technology able to measure the local impedance (LI) during radiofrequency ablation has become available for clinical use. We investigated the change in the LI characteristics during superior vena cava isolations (SVCIs) using a novel catheter equipped with mini-electrodes.
METHODS: Twenty paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients (68 ± 9 years; 14 males) underwent an SVCI by targeting breakthroughs. Subsequently, dormant conduction provoked by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was evaluated.
RESULTS: Electrical SVCIs were successfully achieved in all with 7.2 ± 3.0 radiofrequency applications (RFA) without any complications. The procedure and fluoroscopic times were 13.1 ± 8.1 and 2.8 ± 2.3 min. No ablation was required at the anteroseptal SVC in 19 (95.0%) patients. The baseline LI and generator impedance (GI) were 125 ± 23 and 105 ± 14Ω. LI drops during RFA were significantly greater than GI drops (17 ± 12 vs. 4 ± 4Ω, p < 0.001). The correlation between the LI drops and GI drops was relatively high (R = 0.69, p < 0.001). LI drops were highest at the septal SVC and lowest at the lateral followed by antero-lateral SVC. The baseline electrogram amplitude between the mini-electrodes and tip-ring electrodes was 1.2 ± 1.4 and 0.8 ± 0.6 mV. The mini-electrode amplitude is more sharply attenuated with a greater magnitude than the tip-ring amplitude (p < 0.001). ATP-provoked dormant conduction was exposed in 10/17 (58.8%) patients and antero-lateral SVC gap locations in 7. Antero-lateral SVC LI drops were similar between patients with and without dormancy.
CONCLUSIONS: The LI drop magnitude during RFA significantly differed among the SVC segments. Antero-lateral SVC ATP-provoked dormant conduction was often exposed, and additional applications are recommended following the isolation for a robust SVCI.
