| Popis: | A significant proportion of patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) experience arrhythmia recurrence. This is mostly due to pulmonary vein reconnection (PVR). Whether mapping using High-Density Wave (HDW) technology is superior to standard bipolar (SB) configuration at detecting PVR is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of HDW technology compared to SB mapping in identifying PVR. High-Density (HD) multipolar Grid catheters were used to create left atrial geometries and voltage maps in 36 patients undergoing catheter ablation for AF (either due to recurrence of an atrial arrhythmia from previous AF ablation or de novo AF ablation). Nineteen SB maps were also created and compared. Ablation was performed until pulmonary vein isolation was achieved. Median time of mapping with HDW was 22.3 [IQR: 8.2] min. The number of points collected with HDW (13299.6±1362.8 vs 6952.8±841.9, p |
