关于房室结折返性心动过速慢径消融终点的探讨

534例慢-快型房室结折返性心动过速(AVNRT)患者行慢径消融治疗,观察A型终点(彻底消融慢径)和B型终点(残留慢径有或无1～3心房回波,不能诱发AVNRT)与AVNRT复发的联系。A、B型分别复发5例(1.2%)、11例(9.4%),差异有统计学意义。B型终点的未复发与复发患者相比,其房室结前传文氏周期、快径前传有效不应期和房室结双径路的跳跃增值缩短。认为只要改变房室传导功能,不能诱发心动过速,B型终点仍然是有效、可靠的消融终点。

Conduction properties of the antegrade fast and slow AV nodal pathways associated with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia.

To elucidate differences in conduction properties among the normal atrioventricular (AV) node and the antegrade fast and slow dual AV nodal pathways (DAVNPW), AV nodal conduction curves were analyzed quantitatively in 38 patients. Eighteen patients had antegrade DAVNPW with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) (dual pathways group) and the remaining 20 had smooth AV nodal conduction curves, without evidence of AV nodal dysfunction (control group). The effective refractory period (ERP) of the antegrade fast pathway was longer than that of the normal AV node (at both basic cycle lengths of 700 and 500 msec, p less than 0.01). Although the atrial premature beats were delayed by a longer ERP in the fast pathway, there was no significant difference in the degree of prolongation of AV nodal conduction time related to shortening of the coupling interval (i.e., ratio of A2H2 increment to A1A2 decrement) between these two pathways. On the other hand, the ERP of the antegrade slow pathway was similar to that of the normal AV node. The degree of prolongation of AV nodal conduction time (relative to the shortening of the coupling interval) was greater in the antegrade slow pathway than in the normal AV node. In conclusion, these findings suggest that in DAVNPW with AVNRT: (1) the antegrade fast pathway is similar to the AV node and its conduction properties are unlikely to be better than those of the normal AV node and (2) the antegrade slow pathway has quantitatively poorer conduction properties than the normal AV node, since it has a greater degree of decremental conduction.     

Concealed accessory pathway and dual AV conduction: drug-dependent reentrant tachycardia.

Electrophysiological studies were performed in a patient with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and a normal surface ECG at the time of the study. Premature atrial stimulation revealed dual AV conduction and an echo zone during AV conduction over the fast and the slow pathway. The prolongation of the AV conduction time by a calcium antagonist, Ro 11-1781, permitted the induction of tachycardias via both pathways. Premature ventricular stimulation yielded constant VA conduction times with activation of the low right atrium before the high right atrium before the left atrium. During the tachycardia, premature right ventricular beats conducted to the atrium at a time when the AV node and the His bundle would be refractory. The study suggests the simultaneous occurrence of an occult accessory bundle connecting the right ventricle to the right atrium and dual AV conduction.     

Successful elimination of concealed accessory pathway-mediated tachycardia by ablation of AV nodal slow pathway

We report a case of atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) using a concealed para-Hisian accessory pathway for retrograde conduction, which also required anterograde conduction over the AV nodal slow pathway to maintain the tachycardia. The shortest VA interval during AVRT (70 ms) was noted at a site with His bundle electrogram amplitude of 0.25 mV. The AVRT was cured by radiofrequency ablation of the AV nodal slow pathway without affecting accessory pathway conduction. The patient has not reported any sustained palpitations at 2 years after ablation while receiving no medications. The case presented in this report illustrates a para-Hisian AVRT that was successfully eliminated by an unconventional approach of ablation of the atrial inputs to the AV nodal slow pathway.     

Retrograde conduction in complete atrioventricular block Study using His bundle recordings.

Using His bundle recordings and ventricular stimulation retrograde conduction was studied in 57 cases of complete AV block. VA conduction was observed in 13 patients. Of the 13, 12 had AV block distal to H, and during cardiac pacing 5 of them showed a retrograde His bundle potential. In all cases the AV node-His pathway was implicated in the transmission of the retrograde impulse. There was no retrograde atrial response in the remaining patients. VA block usually occurred at the same level as AV block. Nevertheless, two cases of AV block distal to H were associated with concealed retrograde conduction which stopped within the AV node.

Curative surgery for atrioventricular junctional ("AV nodal") reentrant tachycardia

A new surgical approach was studied prospectively in 10 consecutive patients with atrioventricular (AV) junctional reentrant tachycardia. The aim was to abolish tachycardia yet preserve normal AV conduction. On the basis of electrophysiologic study before operation, patients were classified as type A (ventriculoatrial [VA] intervals during tachycardia less than or equal to 40 ms) (seven patients) or type B (VA intervals greater than 40 ms) (three patients). Dual AV junctional pathways were demonstrable with single extrastimulus testing in seven patients before operation. Endocardial mapping during tachycardia at surgery revealed earliest atrial activation anteromedial to the AV node in type A patients and posterior to the node in the type B patients. The perinodal atrium in the region of earliest atrial activation during tachycardia was carefully disconnected from the AV node. After operation, AV junctional reentrant tachycardia was not inducible at comprehensive electrophysiologic study in any patient, and no clinical recurrences have occurred during a follow-up period of 2 to 14 months (mean 8 +/- 4). Normal AV conduction was preserved in all cases. Anterograde slow AV junctional pathway conduction was abolished in five of seven cases. Retrograde His to atrium conduction time was prolonged in type A patients but the capacity for retrograde VA conduction remained excellent. Retrograde His to atrium conduction was interrupted or severely compromised in the type B patients. These data show that there are at least two types of AV junctional reentry. Perinodal atrium appears to be part of the reentrant circuit in human AV junctional reentry. Although the most consistent effect of surgery was on the retrograde limb of the circuit, anterograde slow pathway conduction was also modified. AV junctional reentry is surgically curable with a high success rate.

Cryoablation of the Slow Atrioventricular Nodal Pathway via a Transbaffle Approach in a Patient with the Mustard Procedure for d‐Transposition of the Great Arteries

The ablation of atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia in patients with the Senning or Mustard procedure is quite challenging because these atrial baffle procedures isolate the AV node from systemic venous access. Cryoablation is commonly utilized for AV nodal slow pathway modification in patients with structurally normal hearts. The cryoablation technique offers the advantage of monitoring AV nodal conduction during lesions, with the ability to terminate a lesion prior to permanent injury to the AV node. This case describes the successful cryoablation of the slow AV nodal pathway via the transbaffle approach in a patient with d‐transposition of the great arteries status post the Mustard procedure.     

Role of compact node and posterior extension in direction-dependent changes in atrioventricular nodal function in rabbit

INTRODUCTION: AV nodal conduction properties differ in the anterograde versus the retrograde direction. The underlying substrate remains unclear. We propose that direction-dependent changes in AV nodal function are the net result of those occurring in the slow and fast pathways. METHODS AND RESULTS: Anterograde and retrograde AV nodal properties were determined with a premature protocol before and after posterior extension (slow pathway) ablation, and before and after upper compact node (fast pathway) ablation. Each ablation was performed in a different group of six rabbit heart preparations. In control, nodal minimum conduction time (NCTmin) and effective refractory period (ERPN) typically were longer, and maximum conduction time (NCTmax) was shorter in the retrograde compared to the anterograde direction. Posterior extension ablation prolonged anterograde ERPN from 91 +/- 10 ms to 141 +/- 15 ms (P < 0.01) and shortened NCTmax from 150 +/- 13 ms to 82 +/- 7 ms (P < 0.01) but did not affect retrograde conduction. Thus, the posterior extension normally contributes to the anterograde but not retrograde recovery curve. Compact node ablation prolonged anterograde conduction (NCTmin increased from 57 +/- 2 ms to 73 +/- 7 ms, P < 0.01) but did not alter ERPN and NCTmax. This ablation abolished retrograde conduction in two preparations and resulted in retrograde slow pathway conduction in four, the latter being interrupted by posterior extension ablation. Thus, the compact node accounts for the baseline of the recovery curve in both directions. Ablation of the compact node results in anterograde slow pathway conduction over the entire cycle length range and may result in retrograde slow pathway conduction. CONCLUSION: Direction-dependent properties of the AV node arise from those of the compact node-based fast pathway and posterior extension-based slow pathway. Normal AV node has bidirectional dual pathways.
