Ablation of para-Hisian accessory pathway (AP) poses high risks of atrioventricular block. We developed a pacing technique to differentiate the near-field (NF) from far-field His activations to avoid the complication.
Three-dimensional mapping of the right ventricle was performed in 15 mongrel dogs and 23 patients with para-Hisian AP. Using different pacing outputs, the NF- and far-field His activation was identified on the ventricular aspect. Radiofrequency application was delivered at the NF His site in 8 (group 1) and the far-field His site in 7 dogs (group 2), followed by pathologic examination after 14 days. NF His activation was captured with 5 mA/1 ms in 10 and 10 mA/1 ms in 5 dogs. In group 1, radiofrequency delivery resulted in complete atrioventricular block in 3, right bundle branch block with HV (His-to-ventricular) interval prolongation in 1, and only right bundle branch block in 2 dogs, whereas no changes occurred in group 2. Pathologic examination in group-1 dogs showed complete or partial necrosis of the His bundle in 4 and complete necrosis of the right bundle branch in 5 dogs. In group 2, partial necrosis in the right bundle branch was found only in 1 dog. Using this pacing technique, the APs were 5.7±1.2 mm away from the His bundle located superiorly in 20 or inferiorly in 3 patients. All APs were successfully eliminated with 1 to 3 radiofrequency applications. No complications and recurrence occurred during a follow-up of 11.8±1.4 months.
Differentiating the NF His from far-field His activations led to a high ablation success without atrioventricular block in para-Hisian AP patients.
希氏束旁旁路(AP)消融术具有较高的房室传导阻滞风险。我们开发了一种起搏技术,以区分近场(NF)和远场希氏束激动,从而避免该并发症。
对15只杂种犬和23例希氏束旁AP患者进行了右心室三维标测。使用不同的起搏输出,在心室面识别出NF和远场希氏束激动。对8只犬(第1组)的NF希氏束部位和7只犬(第2组)的远场希氏束部位进行射频消融,14天后进行病理检查。10只犬以5 mA/1 ms、5只犬以10 mA/1 ms捕获到NF希氏束激动。在第1组中,射频消融导致3只犬出现完全性房室传导阻滞,1只犬出现右束支传导阻滞伴HV(希氏束至心室)间期延长,2只犬仅出现右束支传导阻滞,而第2组未发生变化。第1组犬的病理检查显示,4只犬希氏束完全或部分坏死,5只犬右束支完全坏死。在第2组中,仅1只犬右束支出现部分坏死。使用该起搏技术,20例患者的AP位于希氏束上方5.7±1.2 mm处,3例患者的AP位于希氏束下方。所有AP均通过1至3次射频消融成功消除。在11.8±1.4个月的随访期间未发生并发症和复发。
区分NF希氏束和远场希氏束激动可使希氏束旁AP患者在无房室传导阻滞的情况下获得较高的消融成功率。
