Ablation of ventricular tachycardia originating from the interventricular septum (IVS) is often limited by the presence of re-entrant pathways deep in the IVS. We compared the efficacy of bipolar ablation vs. sequential unipolar ablation in creating a transmural lesion across the porcine IVS.
Seventeen excised swine hearts were superfused by pulsatile saline flow. Bipolar ablation (at 30 W, 50 W or 70 W for 120 s) was performed between 2 saline-irrigated (20 ml/min) 4-mm tip electrodes, 1 on the left and 1 on the right side of the IVS. Sequential unipolar ablation (at 30 W, 50 W or 70 W for 120 s) was performed on the left and right sides of the IVS with an irrigated-tip catheter. Bipolar ablation produced a narrower, deeper lesion than did unipolar ablation. A transmural lesion was created by sequential unipolar ablation in 7.7%, 8.3% and 0% of tissue preparations and by bipolar ablation in 50.0%, 46.7% and 71.4% of tissue preparations at 30 W, 50 W and 70 W.
Bipolar ablation of the IVS was highly effective for creating a transmural IVS lesion.
起源于室间隔(IVS)的室性心动过速的消融常常受到 IVS 深部折返途径的限制。我们比较了双极消融与顺序单极消融在创建贯穿猪 IVS 的透壁性病变方面的疗效。
17 个离体猪心通过搏动盐水流进行灌流。在 IVS 的左侧和右侧的 2 个盐水灌洗(20 ml/min)的 4mm 尖端电极之间进行双极消融(30W、50W 或 70W 持续 120s)。在 IVS 的左侧和右侧使用灌洗尖端导管进行顺序单极消融(30W、50W 或 70W 持续 120s)。与单极消融相比,双极消融产生的病变更窄、更深。顺序单极消融在 7.7%、8.3%和 0%的组织标本中产生了透壁性病变,而在 30W、50W 和 70W 时,双极消融在 50.0%、46.7%和 71.4%的组织标本中产生了透壁性病变。
IVS 的双极消融对于创建贯穿 IVS 的透壁性病变非常有效。
