Popis: | Introduction Right ventricular outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias (RVOT VAs) often originate in the voltage-transitional zone. The target electrogram could be compromised by the architecture of the roving catheter. Mini-electrodes could improve the mapping resolution, especially in low-voltage areas. The aim was to assess the electrophysiological characteristics of the earliest activation site (EAS) of RVOT VAs during mapping using mini-electrodes. Methods and results Twenty-seven patients with RVOT-type VAs were mapped using Orion mini-electrodes and the Rhythmia mapping system. Bipolar and unipolar electrograms were analyzed and compared with conventional ablation catheter recordings. Twenty-five patients (25 of 27) were successfully mapped and ablated at the RVOT. At the EAS, all 25 (100%) patients exhibited local sharp potentials (spiky potential) at the VAs, and 88% (22 of 25) individuals showed reverse late potentials in adjacent sinus beats on the bipolar mini-electrode recordings. Related unipolar electrograms manifested 20% "q-plateau-QS," 76% "gross QS," and 4% "late QS" patterns related to spiky potential voltages and advanced times. Compared with electrograms recorded by ablation catheter, bipolar mini-electrode recordings exhibited significantly shorter spiky potential durations (P = 0.001) and a significantly increased incidence of the reverse late potentials (P = 0.041). Unipolar mini-electrode recordings had a lower incidence ratio of "late QS" patterns (P = 0.039). Conclusion Compared with ablation catheter mapping, mini-electrodes improved the mapping resolution of the EAS of RVOT VAs and exhibited shorter spiky potential durations and reduced incidence of "later QS" unipolar patterns. |
