The importance of electrode-tissue proximity in creating pulsed field ablation lesions: insights from a sub-acute preclinical model.
Background: We sought to evaluate the anatomic and functional lesion development over time at different atrial sites immediately following delivery of pulsed field ablation (PFA).
Methods: Using a porcine model, PFA ablations were performed in the superior vena cava (SVC), right atrial lateral wall (RA), left atrial appendage (LAA), and right superior pulmonary vein (RSPV) using four different PFA profiles. Mapping was done sequentially in 5-20-min increments up to 280-min post lesion delivery for low voltage area (LVA) assessment and conduction velocity. Lesion characteristics were noted with voltage mapping immediately post ablation and at the serial time points.
Results: In 9 animals, 33 sites were ablated. None of the four different profiles across all sites showed any statistical difference on acute lesion formation or persistence. Higher tissue contact was observed in the SVC and RSPV and lower tissue contact was observed in the LAA and RA locations. Higher contact areas were noted to have higher density electroanatomic low voltage area (LVA) (12/14 vs 5/18, p = 0.01) and larger lesions on gross pathology (2 /14 vs 6/16, p = 0.01) compared to lower contact areas. Lesion regression occurred in 16/33 sites. Sustained lesions were significantly more prevalent in higher versus lower contact sites (65% vs 38%, p = 0.037).
Conclusion: The development of significant and durable lesions for PFA in a porcine model appears to be dependent on tissue proximity and contact.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology is an international publication devoted to fostering research in and development of interventional techniques and therapies for the management of cardiac arrhythmias. It is designed primarily to present original research studies and scholarly scientific reviews of basic and applied science and clinical research in this field. The Journal will adopt a multidisciplinary approach to link physical, experimental, and clinical sciences as applied to the development of and practice in interventional electrophysiology. The Journal will examine techniques ranging from molecular, chemical and pharmacologic therapies to device and ablation technology. Accordingly, original research in clinical, epidemiologic and basic science arenas will be considered for publication. Applied engineering or physical science studies pertaining to interventional electrophysiology will be encouraged. The Journal is committed to providing comprehensive and detailed treatment of major interventional therapies and innovative techniques in a structured and clinically relevant manner. It is directed at clinical practitioners and investigators in the rapidly growing field of interventional electrophysiology. The editorial staff and board reflect this bias and include noted international experts in this area with a wealth of expertise in basic and clinical investigation. Peer review of all submissions, conflict of interest guidelines and periodic editorial board review of all Journal policies have been established.
