Empirical superior vena cava electrical isolation guided by quantitative ablation index improves outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Open Heart

Background The value of empirical superior vena cava isolation (SVCI) following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to improve the efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) remains controversial. RFCA was guided by quantitative AI in both groups. vs 81.5%, p=0.02). 95% CI 0.19

Atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. The atrial flutter rate is approximately 200 bpm, with 2:1 AV conduction resulting in ventricular rate almost exactly 100 bpm. Further history revealed she had new onset atrial flutter soon after her aortic surgery, and was put on flecainide approximately 1 month ago.

The patient has been scheduled for a PVC ablation procedure. Our patient was referred for EP study with a plan of PVC ablation if possible. The various idiopathic VTs usually can be controlled well with medical treatment and/or catheter ablation therapy. Once the arrhythmia was under control cardiac MRi was performed.
