Methods and Results: The 51 patients with 74 ATs (mean age 57+/-18 years, 28 males) undergoing EA-guided RFA were included; 14 patients had had previous open heart surgery and 5 had organic heart disease. RFA was performed at the AT focus for focal AT (n=48) with an endpoint of AT termination and subsequent non-inducibility. RFA was performed at a critical conducting pathway for reentrant AT (n=26) with creation of a block line in the critical reentry circuit. EA revealed that 57 ATs originated in the right atrium (77%) and 17 originated in the left atrium (23%); all but 1 were successfully eliminated. Fluoroscopic time was 19+/-11 min, the number of RFA applications was 8+/-7, and the radiofrequency energy was 10,711+/-12,655 J. No complications were noted. All but 2 patients were free of any symptoms during a follow-up of 16+/-9 months. Conclusions: EA-guided RFA is safe and effective for AT, irrespective of its mechanism, sustainability or origin, and regardless of underlying heart disease. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=7159 ------>authors2=None ------>authors3=None ------>authors4=None ------>authors5=None ------>authors6=None ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Hsieh MH, Chen SA. ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Tachycardia Under Navigation Using the EnSite Array. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag= ------>submit_date= ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho= ------>publish_year=2002 ------>submit_flag= ------>publish_month=None |
