  • Bipolar radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of left ventricular aneurysm with ventricular arrhythmias guided by CARTO mapping system: A randomized controlled trial

    Objective To evaluate the efficacy and clinical significance of bipolar radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of left ventricular aneurysm with ventricular arrhythmias guided by CARTO mapping system. Methods From September 2009 to December 2015, 56 patients with ventricular aneurysm following myocardial infarction were enrolled. All patients suffered different levels of angina pectoris symptoms evaluated by Holter (the frequencies of ventricular arrhythmias more than 3 000 per day). They were divided into two groups according to random ballot and preoperative communication with patients' family members: a bipolar radiofrequency ablation group (n=28, 20 males, 8 females, mean age of 61.21±1.28 years) receiving off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG), ventricular aneurysm surgery combined with bipolar radiofrequency ablation, and a non-bipolar radiofrequency ablation group (n=28, 22 males, 6 females, mean age of 57.46±1.30 years) receiving OPCABG and single ventricular aneurysm surgery. The grade of cardiac function and ventricular arrhythmia was compared between the two groups during pre-operation, discharge and follow-up. Results All patients were discharged successfully. There was no in-hospital death in both two groups. One patient in the non-radiofrequency group had cerebral infarction. All patients were re-checked with Holter before discharge and the frequency of ventricular arrhythmias significantly decreased compared to that of pre-operation in both groups, and was more significant in bipolar radiofrequency ablation group (1 197.00±248.20 times/24 h vs. 1 961.00±232.90 times/24 h, P<0.05). There was significant difference in duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay between the two groups (P<0.05). The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) significantly improved (P<0.05) after operation in both groups. Conclusion The clinical efficacy of bipolar radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of ventricular aneurysm with ventricular arrhythmia guided by CARTO mapping is safe and effective, but its long-term outcomes still need further follow-up.
