Novel Ablation Strategy for Isolating the Superior Vena Cava Using Ultra High-Resolution Mapping

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to categorize the conduction patterns between the right atrium (RA) and the superior vena cava (SVC), and to determine the ideal procedure for SVC isolation using a novel high-resolution mapping system. METHODS AND RESULTS: ; P<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: We found that approximately half of patients with AF had a diagonal line of block at the RA-SVC junction that could be utilized to isolate the SVC with fewer radiofrequency deliveries.
