The beating of a pulmonary vein during cardiac catheterization is a rare phenomenon caused by the heart beating through the pericardial effusion when a cardiac tamponade occurs. This “beating pulmonary vein” sign is useful for early detection of a tamponade before circulatory collapse occurs.

ObjectivesThis study determined the recurrence and complication rates after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for those with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW), atrial flutter (AFL), atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT).Study design and settingThis retrospective study included RFCAs for 2001–2010 in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Primary outcomes included perioperative complications (pericardial effusion and new-onset stroke), RFCA recurrence and long-term outcomes (high-grade atrioventricular block (AVB) and pacemaker implantation).ResultsOf 19,475 patients who underwent RFCA, prevalence rates were 56.7% for PSVT, 13.5% for WPW, 9.5% for AFL, 5.1% for AF and 2.7% for VT. Prevalence rates increased in AF, AFL and VT over the study years. During an average follow-up period of 4.3 years (SD: 2.8 years), recurrence rates for PSVT, WPW, VT, AFL and AF were 2.0%, 4.9%, 5.7%, 5.8% and 16.1%, respectively. Compared with the PSVT group, the WPW and AF groups had significantly higher risk of pericardial effusion during admission (adjusted OR (aOR) 2.98, 95% CI (CI) 1.24 to 7.15; aOR 4.09, 95% CI 1.90 to 8.79, respectively); the AFL group had a higher risk of new-onset stroke during admission (aOR 4.07, 95% CI 1.39 to 11.91); the WPW group had a lower risk of high-grade AVB during follow-up (adjusted HR (aHR) 0.37, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.71) while the AFL group had a greater risk (aHR 1.74, 95% CI 1.17 to 2.60); and the AFL group had a higher risk of permanent pacemaker (aHR 2.14, 95% CI 1.27 to 3.62).ConclusionsThe RFCA rate increased rapidly during 2001–2010 for AF, AFL and VT. Recurrence was associated with congenital heart disease in PSVT and WPW, and with age in AF and AFL. AFL had a higher risk of permanent pacemaker implantation and new stroke. AF had a higher risk of life-threatening pericardial effusion.

The Difference

Abstract Background Catheter ablation for drug refractory, symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), is becoming increasingly common and can be beneficial in alleviating symptoms. However, in the elderly, there are concerns about the risks an invasive procedure poses, with limited published data available in those aged over 80 years. Purpose To determine the complication risk of AF catheter ablation in the elderly Methods Complications were identified from patient records in 3156 consecutive patients who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation for AF, at a tertiary cardiology centre between 2013–2017. All cases were performed under general anesthesia. Results In this cohort of 3156 patients (mean age= 62.9±11.0 years, female = 29.9%), 90 (2.85%) (mean age= 66±10.0 years, female = 49.5%) complications were identified. In patients aged ≥80 years, complications occurred in 5 out of 99 patients (5.05%) (mean age= 82.6±1.2, female=100%), compared to 85 out of 3057 patients (2.78%) in those aged <80 years (mean age= 65±10.3, female = 49.4%). The difference was not significant p=0.18. Complications in the elderly all occurred acutely, and included groin haematoma (2.02%), pneumonia (2.02%) and pericardial effusion (1.01%). Conclusion Catheter ablation for AF in patients ≥80 years of age, is not associated with a significant increase in complication risk, compared to those who are younger.
