Anatomical approach to suppression of para-Hisian ventricular arrhythmias with changes in QRS morphology after ablation at the earliest activation site

Heart RhythmPublished Multicentre retrospective case series

Authors' conclusion

The anatomical approach showed promising results regarding safety and efficacy.

Study context

Population
Patients with para-Hisian ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) with QRS morphological changes after catheter ablation (CA)of 30 undergoing CA
Participants

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Procedural success

8

80%

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Precordial transition zone after CA

Tended to be earlier in RL and later in LR

VA suppression in RL

Successful VA suppression despite suboptimal left-side pace map concordance or relatively delayed earliest activation time

Safety

Ablation discontinued because of risk of AV block

Ablation discontinued (AV block risk)
1 (10%)
