Kumagai K, Toyama H. High-power, short-duration ablation during Box isolation for atrial fibrillation. J Arrhythm 2020; 36:899-904. [PMID: 33024467 PMCID: PMC7532263 DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2020] [Revised: 06/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been demonstrated that a high-power, short-duration (HPSD) ablation during pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is effective and safe. However, studies about the HPSD ablation during the posterior wall isolation, the Box isolation (BOXI), are limited. We evaluated the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of HPSD ablation during BOXI. METHODS One-hundred sixty patients with all types of atrial fibrillation underwent BOXI with HPSD ablation (n = 80) or conventional technique (n = 80). In the HPSD group, ablation was performed with 50 W and a target lesion size index of 5.0 using a contact force (CF) sensing catheter. Ablation near the esophagus was performed with 50 W for 5 seconds and a CF < 10 g. In the conventional group, ablation was performed with 30-40 W for 30 seconds, but 20 W near the esophagus. RESULTS The BOXI creation (26 ± 8 minutes vs 47 ± 17 minutes, P < .0001) and procedure (65 ± 12 minutes vs 87 ± 23 minutes, P < .0001) times were significantly shorter in the HPSD group than the conventional group. The number of pacing capture sites did not differ between the two groups. No complications including gastrointestinal symptoms occurred. The atrial tachyarrhythmia-free rate at 12-months after a single procedure was 86.3% in the HPSD group and 76.3% in the conventional group, respectively (P = .132). The incidence of PV reconnections and gaps in the lines during the second procedure did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSION The BOXI with HPSD ablation is effective, feasible, and safe with short BOXI creation and procedure times without reducing the clinical outcomes.

Kumagai K, Toyama H, Zhang B. Effects of additional ablation of low-voltage areas after Box isolation for persistent atrial fibrillation. J Arrhythm 2019; 35:197-204. [PMID: 31007783 PMCID: PMC6457373 DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2018] [Revised: 01/13/2019] [Accepted: 01/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies reported that ablation of low-voltage areas (LVAs) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) improves the success rate in persistent atrial fibrillation (PerAF) patients with LVAs. However, the need for LVA ablation in addition to the posterior left atrial isolation, Box isolation (BOXI), for PerAF is unclear. We evaluated the effects of LVA ablation after BOXI for PerAF with LVAs. METHODS In 115 patients with PerAF (75 longstanding PerAF), LA voltage maps were created during sinus rhythm after PVI. Subsequently, BOXI was performed. In 61 patients without LVAs (<0.5 mV), BOXI alone was performed. Fifty-four patients with LVAs were randomly assigned to BOXI plus LVA ablation (33 patients) or BOXI alone (21 patients). RESULTS The rate of AF termination or cardioversion after BOXI was significantly higher than that after PVI (100% vs 88%, P < 0.001). The inducibility of atrial tachyarrhythmia after BOXI was significantly lower than that after PVI (27% vs 100%, P < 0.001). During 24 ± 9 months of follow-up after a single procedure, atrial tachyarrhythmia-free rate in the patients with LVAs, was significantly lower than that without LVAs (65% vs 82%, P = 0.043). However, the success rate was not significantly different between the BOXI plus LVA ablation group and the BOXI alone group of patients with LVAs (67% vs 62%, P = 0.722). CONCLUSION BOXI facilitates AF termination and its non-inducibility. Among patients with PerAF, BOXI alone may be adequate in cases without LVAs. Although cases with LVAs have higher risk of AF recurrence, additional LVA ablation does not improve the outcomes much.
