BACKGROUND: Mid-myocardial ventricular arrhythmias are challenging to treat. Cardiac electroporation via pulsed electric fields (PEFs) offers significant promise. We therefore tested PEF delivery using screw-in pacemaker leads as proof-of-concept.
METHODS: In 5 canine models, we applied nanosecond PEF (pulse width 300 ns) across the right ventricular (RV) septum using a single lead bipolar configuration (n = 2) and between two leads (n = 3). We recorded electrograms (EGMs) prior to, immediately post, and 5 min after PEF. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) and histopathology were performed at 2 weeks and 1 month.
RESULTS: Nanosecond PEF induced minimal extracardiac stimulation and frequent ventricular ectopy that terminated post-treatment; no canines died with PEF delivery. With 1 lead, energy delivery ranged from 0.64 to 7.28 J. Transient ST elevations were seen post-PEF. No myocardial delayed enhancement (MDE) was seen on cMRI. No lesions were noted on the RV septum at autopsy. With 2 leads, energy delivery ranged from 56.3 to 144.9 J. Persistent ST elevations and marked EGM amplitude decreases developed post-PEF. MDE was seen along the septum 2 weeks and 1 month post-PEF. There were discrete fibrotic lesions along the septum; pathology revealed dense connective tissue with < 5% residual cardiomyocytes.
CONCLUSIONS: Ventricular electroporation is feasible and safe with an active fixation device. Reversible changes were seen with lower energy PEF delivery, whereas durable lesions were created at higher energies. Central illustration: pulsed electric field delivery into ventricular myocardium with active fixation leads.
