阵发性心房颤动射频消融术后左房大小和机械功能变化

目的探讨经导管射频消融术对阵发性心房颤动（房颤）患者左房功能的影响,并比较肺静脉口节段性电隔离（SPVI）和环肺静脉消融（CPVA）两种术式在此方面的异同。方法66例阵发性房颤患者接受射频消融手术治疗。应用经胸心脏超声检查测量患者术前、术后1天、1个月和3个月时的左房前后径、左房面积、舒张晚期跨二尖瓣血流峰速（A峰）和舒张晚期心肌组织运动峰速（A’峰）。结果66例患者中,30例接受SPVI术,36例接受CPVA术。两组患者一般临床情况及术前超声参数相似。术后随访（315±153）d,SPVI组和CPVA组无房性心律失常复发率相似（70％与75％,P=0．650）。两组在手术后左房面积均较术前缩小,SPVI组发生于术后1个月,而CPVA组于术后3个月。SPVI组左房直径也显示出明显缩小（P〈0．05）,而CPVA组术前和术后则差异无统计学意义。左房机械功能方面,CPVA组于术后1天A峰和A’峰明显降低（P〈0．05）,两者均于3个月后较术后1天明显回升,A峰恢复至术前水平,A’峰较术前有明显升高。SPVI组术后1天没有出现A峰和A’峰明显降低;其A峰于术后1个月升高,并保持至3个月;A’峰于术后3个月时升高。结论阵发性房颤经导管SPVI术和CPVA术治疗后3个月,可以出现左房面积缩小和收缩功能改善。CPVA术比SPVI术造成了更多的左房损伤,表现为术后1天左房功能的下降以及术后左房大小、功能参数改善的延迟。

The effect of left atrial remodeling after cryoballoon ablation and radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

BackgroundCryoballoon ablation (CBA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are the most common procedures used to treat refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) and are performed through pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Studies have shown that CBA can approximately match the therapeutic effects of RFA against AF. However, few studies have investigated the difference between CBA and RFA of the effects on left atrial remodeling for paroxysmal AF.ObjectiveAtrial remodeling is considered pivotal to the occurrence and development of AF, therefore we sought to assess the influence of atrial remodeling in patients with paroxysmal AF after CBA and RFA in this study.MethodsIn this nonrandomized retrospective observational study, we enrolled 328 consecutive patients who underwent CBA or RFA for refractory paroxysmal AF in May 2014 to May 2017 in our hospital. After propensity score matching, 96 patients were included in the CBA group, and 96 were included in the RFA group. Patients were asked to undergo a 12‐lead electrocardiogram, a 24‐h Holter monitor, and an echocardiogram and to provide their clinical history and symptoms at 6 months and 1, 2, and 3 years postprocedurally. Electrical remodeling of the left atrium was assessed by P wave dispersion (Pdis); structural remodeling was assessed by the left atrium diameter (LAD) and left atrial volume index (LAVI) during scheduled visits.ResultsAs of January 2020, compared with baseline, at 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years after ablation, the average changes in Pdis (∆Pdis), LAD (∆LAD), and LAVI (∆LAVI) were significant in both the CBA and RFA groups. Six months after ablation, ∆Pdis, ∆LAD, and ∆LAVI were greater in the CBA group than in the RFA group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in AF/flutter recurrence, but the AF/flutter‐free survival time of CBA group may be longer than RFA group after 2 years after ablation. A higher ∆Pdis, ∆LAD, or ∆LAVI at 1 year after ablation may increase AF/flutter‐free survival.ConclusionsAlthough CBA and RFA are both effective in left atrial electrical and structural reverse‐remodeling in paroxysmal AF, CBA may outperform RFA for both purposes 6 months after ablation. However, during long‐term follow‐up, there was no significant intergroup difference.

目的: 评价环肺静脉左房线性消融术对阵发性心房颤动（房颤）患者左心房结构和功能的影响。方法: 阵发性房颤患者33例,Carto系统下行环肺静脉左房线性消融术,应用超声心动图测定其消融术前1～3 d、术后1、3、6、12个月静息时窦性心律下左心房内径、容积指标、二尖瓣口A波速度峰值(VA)及E波速度峰值(VE),并计算左心房排空分数,分析消融术前后左心房结构和功能的变化。结果: 33例阵发性房颤患者均成功施行环肺静脉左房线性消融术,1年治愈率82%。左房前后径消融术后1个月较术前显著增大［(44±4)mm vs. （41±3）mm,P<0.01］,术后3个月、6个月时与术前比较无显著差异,随访1年时左房前后径较术前有显著减小［（40±3）mm vs. (41±3)mm,P<0.05］。与左心房辅助泵功能相关的左心房最小容积,术后1个月显著增大,左心房主动排空分数、左心房总排空分数显著降低（P<0.05),术后3个月时恢复到术前水平。VA术后均低于术前（P<0.05,P<0.01）,而VE/VA术后1个月显著上升（P<0.05,P<0.01）,但在随后的随访中与术前无显著差异。 结论: 阵发性房颤患者左房环肺静脉线性消融术后近期左房前后径增大,辅助泵功能下降,术后3个月恢复至术前水平,术后1年左房结构可部分逆重构。     

Atypical left atrial flutter after intraoperative radiofrequency ablation of chronic atrial fibrillation: successful ablation using three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping

Curative treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a challenging task for electrophysiologists. Eliminating the initiating triggers by focal radiofrequency ablation in a subset of patients with paroxysmal AF and modifying the maintaining substrate by performing linear lesions within the left atrium in patients with prolonged episodes of AF are among the alternative approaches for management of these patients. Recently, a new intraoperative treatment procedure aimed at eliminating left atrial anatomic "anchor" reentrant circuits by induction of contiguous lesions using radiofrequency energy under direct vision was introduced. However, atypical left atrial flutter may occur during follow-up after intraoperative ablation of AF. These arrhythmias most likely are due to discontinuities in linear lesions; therefore, they can be successfully mapped and ablated in a subsequent percutaneous catheter ablation procedure. We report and discuss the case of a patient who underwent successful intraoperative ablation of chronic AF, but who developed atypical left atrial flutter postoperatively. Three-dimensional nonfluoroscopic electroanatomic mapping revealed a gap in the linear lesion line connecting the left upper and right upper pulmonary vein orifices. Ablation at the exit site of the breakthrough was successful.     

Morphological changes of the left atrial appendage after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation

Introduction: The left atrial appendage (LAA) has been proven to be the most important site of thrombus formation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the information regarding the morphometric alteration of the LAA related to the outcome of AF ablation is still lacking. Thus, we evaluated the long-term changes of the LAA morphology in patients undergoing catheter ablation of AF using magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
Methods and Results: Group 1 included 15 controls without any AF history. Group 2 included 40 patients with drug-refractory paroxysmal AF. They were divided into two subgroups: group 2a included 30 patients without AF recurrence after pulmonary vein (PV) ablation. Group 2b included 10 patients with late recurrence of AF. The LAA morphology before and after (20 ± 11 months) ablation was evaluated by three-dimensional MRA. The group 2 patients had a larger baseline LAA size (including the LAA orifice, neck, and length) and less eccentric LAA orifice and neck. After the AF ablation, there was a significant reduction in the LAA size in the group 2a patients, and the morphology of the LAA neck became more eccentric during the follow-up period. In group 2b, the LAA size increased and no significant change in the eccentricity of the orifice and neck could be noted.
Conclusions: The morphometric remodeling of the LAA in the AF patients could be reversed after a successful ablation of the AF. Progressive dilation of the LAA was noted in the patients with AF recurrence. These structural changes in the LAA may play a role in reducing the potential risk of cerebrovascular accidents.     

左心耳形态结构与房颤射频消融术后复发的关系

【摘要】 目的 探讨左心耳形态对心房颤动（房颤）导管消融术后复发的预测价值。方法 选取2019年1月至2020年1月在河南省胸科医院和郑州市第七人民医院首次行房颤射频消融的患者440例为研究对象,根据随访结果分为房颤复发组和未复发组。术前所有患者均接受左房肺静脉血管成像或食道彩超检查,根据检查结果将左心耳形态分为鸡翅形、风向标型、仙人掌型、菜花型。术后随访18个月,以消融术后复发为结局,分析左心耳形态对房颤复发的影响。结果 阵发性房颤57例（22.80%）复发,持续性房颤78例（41.05%）复发,持续性房颤患者复发率明显大于阵发性心房颤动;复发组患者左房前后径、左心房体积、左心耳体积均大于未复发组;左心耳形态学特征中,鸡翅型房颤复发率最高（37.26%）,风向标型复发率最低（21.59%）（P＜0.05）。多因素Logistic回归分析结果显示左心耳体积、持续性房颤及鸡翅型左心耳形态是房颤复发的危险因素（P＜0.05）,OR( 95% CI) 分别为1.348（1.009~1.801）、1.980（1.343~2.919）、1.687（1.021~2.786）。此外,服用ACEI/ARB类药物也有助于减少房颤复发。Kaplan-Meier生存曲线显示房颤消融术后左心耳形态累计复发率依次为鸡翅型＞仙人掌型＞菜花型＞风向标型（χ2=9.302,P=0.026）。结论 左心耳形态学特征与房颤射频消融术后复发风险相关,ACEI/ARB类药物有助于降低房颤消融术后复发。     

Acute effects of left atrial radiofrequency ablation on atrial fibrillation

INTRODUCTION: Acutely, when left atrial ablation is performed during atrial fibrillation (AF), the AF may persist and require cardioversion, or it may convert to sinus rhythm or to atrial tachycardia/flutter. The prevalence of these acute outcomes has not been described. METHODS AND RESULTS: Left atrial ablation, usually including encirclement of the pulmonary veins, was performed during AF in 144 patients with drug-refractory AF. Conversion to sinus rhythm occurred in 19 patients (13%), to left atrial tachycardia in 6 (4%), and to atrial flutter in 6 (4%). In the 6 patients with a focal atrial tachycardia, the mean cycle length was 294 +/- 45 ms. The tachycardia arose in the left atrial roof in 3 patients, the left atrial appendage in 2, and the anterior left atrium in 1. In 3 of 6 patients, the focal atrial tachycardia originated in an area that displayed a relatively short cycle length during AF. In 6 patients, AF converted to macroreentrant atrial flutter with a mean cycle length of 253 +/- 47 ms, involving the mitral isthmus in 5 patients and the septum in 1 patient. All atrial tachycardias and flutters were successfully ablated with 1 to 15 applications of radiofrequency energy. CONCLUSION: When left atrial ablation is performed during AF, the AF may convert to atrial tachycardia or flutter in approximately 10% of patients. Focal atrial tachycardias that occur during ablation of AF may be attributable to driving mechanisms that persist after AF has been eliminated, whereas atrial flutter results from incomplete ablation lines.
