Long-term efficacy of single procedure remote magnetic catheter navigation for ablation of ischemic ventricular tachycardia: a retrospective study.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Remote magnetic navigation (RMN) aims to reduce some inherent limitations of manual radiofrequency (RF) ablation. However, data comparing the effectiveness of both methods are scarce. This study evaluated the acute and long-term success of RMN guided versus manual RF ablation in patients with ischemic sustained ventricular tachycardia (sVT). METHODS:One hundred two consecutive patients (age 68 ± 10 years, LVEF 32 ± 12%, 88 men) with ischemic sVT were ablated with RMN (Stereotaxis; 49%) or manually (51%) using substrate and/or activation mapping (Carto) and open-irrigated-tip catheters. All received implantable defibrillators or loop recorders. Acute success was defined as noninducibility of any sVT at the end of the ablation procedure and long-term success as freedom from VT upon follow-up. RESULTS:There was no difference in the baseline characteristics between the groups. Three patients died in hospital. Acute success rate was similar for RMN and manual ablation (82% vs 71%, P = 0.246). RMN was associated with significantly shorter fluoroscopy time (13 ± 12 minutes vs 32 ± 17 minutes, P = 0.0001) and RF time (2337.59 ± 1248.22 seconds vs 1589.95 ± 1047.42 seconds, P = 0.049), although total procedure time was similar (157 ± 40 minutes vs 148 ± 50 minutes, P = 0.42). There was a nonsignificant trend toward better long-term success in RMN group: after a median of 13 (range 1-34) months, 63% in the RMN and 53% in the manual ablation group were free from VT recurrence (P = 0.206). CONCLUSION:RMN guided RF ablation of ischemic sustained VT is equally efficient compared with manual ablation in terms of acute and long-term success rate. These results are achieved with a significantly reduced fluoroscopy time and shorter RF time.
