Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is usually eliminated in the earliest activation site based on the conventional electrode of ablation catheter. However, the large size electrode may contain far-field potential. The QDOT MICRO ablation catheter has three micro electrodes with 0.33 mm electrode length, in addition to the conventional electrode with 3.5 mm electrode length. The micro electrodes can reflect only near-field potential.A 78-year-old with symptomatic frequent PVCs underwent catheter ablation. PVC-1 showed good pace-mapping in distal great cardiac vein (GCV). The local bipolar electrograms in the conventional electrode of ablation catheter preceded the PVC-QRS onset by 32 ms in distal GCV and 13 ms in left coronary cusp (LCC), but those in the micro electrodes preceded only by 13 ms both in distal GCV and LCC. PVC-1 was eliminated by radiofrequency (RF) application, not in distal GCV, but in LCC. PVC-2 showed good pace-mapping in LCC. The local bipolar electrograms in both the conventional electrode and the micro electrodes of ablation catheter preceded the PVC-QRS onset by 32 ms in LCC. PVC-2 was eliminated by RF application in LCC.Comparing the local electrograms of micro electrodes and the conventional electrodes may be important for identifying depth of the origin of PVCs. |
