BACKGROUND: A very high-power short-duration (vHPSD) strategy of radiofrequency (RF) ablation aims to minimize conductive heating and increase resistive heating. We evaluated the feasibility, efficacy and safety of the vHPSD ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) in patients presenting with typical atrial flutter (AFL).
METHODS: This prospective non-randomized study enrolled 28 consecutive patients (FAST Group) with typical AFL undergoing CTI ablation. The vHPSD ablation was performed applying 90 W, for 4 s, with an irrigation of 8 ml/min. Thirty consecutive patients who, previously, underwent CTI ablation by means of a contact force surrounding flow catheter guided by ablation index (500) served as control group (AI Group).
RESULTS: In the FAST Group, the mean CTI length was 29 ± 6 mm, and the mean number of RF tags was 20 ± 9. The CTI bidirectional "first pass" block was reached in 25 (89%) patients. There were no major procedural complications. After a mean follow-up of 6 ± 2 months, one (3.5%) patient had arrhythmia recurrence. The vHPSD ablation was as effective as AI-guided ablation in achieving acute CTI block (rate of first pass 89% vs 93%, p = 0.59), with a shorter RF time (88 ± 40 s vs 492 ± 269 s, p < 0.001) and similar procedure (30 ± 4 min vs 34 ± 10 min, p = 0.5) and fluoroscopy time (103 ± 29 vs 108 ± 52 s, p = 0.7). At 8 months, the freedom from AFL recurrence was 96% in the FAST group and 97% in the AI group.
CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary data show that the vHPSD ablation represents an effective and safe ablation strategy to achieve bidirectional block for the treatment of typical AFL.
