Evidence of 2 conduction exits of the moderator band: Findings from activation and pace mapping study.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The moderator band (MB) is an endocavitary structure with only 2 exits to the bulk of the ventricular myocardium. Whether this may lead to specific electrophysiological characteristics remains unknown. OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study was to investigate electrocardiographic (ECG), activation, and pace mapping characteristics of MB-originated ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). METHODS:Mapping and ablation of MB-VAs were performed in 12 patients under the guidance of a 3-dimensional electroanatomic mapping system and intracardiac echocardiography and ECG, and mapping data were analyzed. Of these patients, 11 underwent pace mapping study of 6 sites around the MB and the QRS morphology was compared. RESULTS:The earliest activation site was free wall (FW) insertion in 8 patients (66.7%) and MB body in 4 patients (33.3%), preceding the QRS onset by 17.8±4.7 ms, and Purkinje-like potential was observed in 6 (50.0%). VAs were eliminated at the earliest activation site in the procedure, but recurrence was documented in 2 cases (16.7%) during a follow-up of 13.4±7.8 months. Pacing QRS complex from the MB was characterized by short QRS duration (P<.001), short intrinsicoid deflection time (P<.001), later precordial transition (P=.025), and notch on the descending limb of the inferior leads (P<.001) as compared with pacing from the adjacent anterior-lateral FW, and that notch could also differentiate MB from the anterior papillary muscle (P=.027). However, pacing QRS is identical between the MB body and the FW insertion in 11 of 11 patients and between the septal insertion and the MB body in 7 of 11 patients. CONCLUSION:Bidirectional conduction via the 2 exits during MB-VAs contributed to distinct ECG and electrophysiological characteristics, while pace mapping is of limited value in defining the ablation target.
