Zusammenfassung
Background: We recently demonstrated that the acute reconnection rate detected with adenosine provocation test (APT) was significantly lower after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with visually guided laser balloon ablation (VGLB) than with RF ablation (RF). We evaluated the recurrence rate of atrial arrhythmias at 12 months after VGLB vs. RF and the significance of APT results for the outcome. ...
Zusammenfassung
Background: We recently demonstrated that the acute reconnection rate detected with adenosine provocation test (APT) was significantly lower after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with visually guided laser balloon ablation (VGLB) than with RF ablation (RF). We evaluated the recurrence rate of atrial arrhythmias at 12 months after VGLB vs. RF and the significance of APT results for the outcome. Methods and Results: Fifty patients with paroxysmal AF were randomized to either RF or VGLB ablation in a 1 : 1 fashion. After PVI each PV underwent an APT. All patients underwent a 3-day Holter and clinical follow-up every 3 months. Significantly less PVs reconnected during APT in the VGLB-arm (10 PV (10.8%) vs. 29 PV (30.9%); P=0.001). Significantly less patients had a recurrence of atrial arrhythmia in the VGLB-arm (3 vs. 9; P=0.047). In the VGLB-arm no recurrence was seen in those patients with a negative APT (negative predictive value (NPV)=100%). Only 3 of the 8 patients with a positive APT in the VGLB-arm had a recurrence (positive PV (PPV)=37%). Recurrences in the RF-arm were seen in 3 patients with positive APT as well as in 6 patients with negative APT (PPV=18% and NPV=33%). Conclusions: There was significantly less recurrence of atrial arrhythmias at 12 months after PVI with VGLB. A negative APT after PVI with VGBL predicted freedom from AF with a very high NPV meaning that the high acute efficiency of the VGLB persisted long term.
