BACKGROUND: We performed contact force (CF) monitoring during pulmonary vein (PV) isolation to evaluate CF according to sheath type, catheter position, and inadequate ablation.
METHODS: Thirty consecutive patients (paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, 23; CHADS2 score, 0.5 ± 0.7; age, 56 ± 10 years) who underwent PV isolation using a CF-sensing catheter were included. Data for operator-blinded CF, impedance, and duration of the "first touch" (first round of ablation in each PV) was collected. We compared the CF, maximum CF, force-time integral, average impedance, and impedance drop (Δ impedance) between different sheaths (Swartz™ vs. Agilis™) in 12 different catheter positions, and in inadequate first touches requiring additional ablation.
RESULTS: A total of 1283 ablation points (Swartz™, 620 points; Agilis™, 663 points) were evaluated. The average CF was significantly higher in the Agilis™ group (17.8 ± 13.0 g) than the Swartz™ group (15.0 ± 12.4 g; P < 0.001), especially in the anterior, inferior-anterior, and inferior-posterior sections of the right PV, and the top of the roof, and calina of the left PV. The Δ impedance showed a mildly significant negative relationship with the average CF (r=-0.206; P<0.001) and with the force-time integral (r = -0.279; P < 0.001). Compared to first touches, the average CF and Δ impedance were significantly smaller in inadequate first touches in the Swartz™ group, but not in the Agilis™ group.
CONCLUSIONS: CF for PV isolation was significantly different depending on the position of the catheter and the type of sheath.
