Abstract Background Little has been reported on the outcome of contact force (CF)-guided radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) and second generation cryoballoon ablation (CBA). Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome of CF-guided RFCA and second generation CBA for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Methods We enrolled the consecutive 364 patients with PAF who underwent initial ablation between September 2014 and July 2018 in our hospital. We compared the late recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia more than three months after ablation between RFCA group and CBA group. All RFCA procedures were performed using CF-sensing catheter and all CBA procedures were performed using second generation CB. Results There were significant differences in background characteristics: chronic kidney disease, serum brain natriuretic peptide level, and left ventricular ejection fraction. After propensity score matched analysis (Table), atrial tachyarrhythmia free survival was significantly higher in CBA group than in RFCA group (Figure). Conclusions Second generation CBA showed a significantly lower late recurrence rate compared to CF-guided RFCA. Kaplan-Meier Curve Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background It has been reported that frequent use of touch-up focal ablation catheters was related to worse outcomes after cryoballoon (CB) atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. It is unknown whether non-use of touch-up focal ablation catheters strategy affects the outcome of AF ablation. Therefore, this study aimed to assess whether non-use of touch-up focal ablation catheters strategy improve clinical outcome after AF ablation using CB. Methods A total of 151 consecutive patients who received CB ablation from February 2017 to August 2019 were enrolled. Non-use of a touch-up focal ablation catheters strategy was started from February 2018. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the type of strategy. In the non-touch-up group, pulmonary veins were isolated without touch-up focal ablation catheters as much as possible and in conventional group, touch-up focal ablation catheters were used as required. The 1-year atrial tachyarrhythmia free survival without class 1 or 3 antiarrhythmic drugs after a 90-day blanking period was assessed between the 2 groups. Results The conventional group consisted of 76 patients and the non-touch-up group consisted of 75 patients. Baseline characteristics were comparable between 2 groups. Touch-up focal ablation catheters were used more in the conventional group (11 patients, 14%) than non-touch-up group (0 patients, 0%) (p<0.001). Pulmonary isolation was achieved in all patients of both groups. Atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence occurred more frequently in the non-touch-up group (15/75 patients, 20%) than conventional group (7/76 patients, 9%) (p=0.045). Conclusion Non-use of a touch-up focal ablation catheters strategy may be related to worse outcome after CB AF ablation. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background Induction of atrial fibrillation (AF)/atrial tachycardia (AT) by atrial burst pacing following ablation procedure may reflect the presence of residual substrates in the atria that maintain AF. However, the relation between the inducibility and left atrial low voltage area (LVA) has not been established. Methods Fifty-nine patients (65 years old, 43 males) with persistent AF who underwent pulmonary vein isolation (PVI)-based ablation were studied. All patients underwent left atrial voltage mapping during sinus rhythm and atrial burst pacing after PVI. Atrial burst pacing was performed with 30-beat at an amplitude of 10V from the ostium of the coronary sinus; increasing from 240 to 320 ppm in steps of 20 ppm or failure to 1:1 atrial capture. Inducibility was defined as AF/AT lasting more than 5 minutes following burst pacing. Left atrial LVA and other co-variates were analyzed with regard to burst pacing positivity. Results AF/AT was induced by burst pacing in 23 patients (39%). Univariate analysis revealed that past history of stroke, CHADS2 score and presence of left atrial LVA were significantly associated with the inducibility of AF/AT. Multivariate analysis revealed that only the presence of LVA was associated with the inducibility (OR 1.5: per 10% increase; p=0.04). We focused on the relationship between the extent of LVA and burst positivity. AF/AT inducibility increased as low voltage area increased, and it was as high as 72.7% when low voltage area was more than 20% (P<0.05). Interestingly, induced arrhythmia type was AT rather than AF when low voltage area was more than 20%. Conclusions Presence of left atrial LVA is an independent predictor of atrial tachyarrhythmia inducibility after PVI in patients with persistent AF. A large amount of low voltage area is related to AT inducibility rather than AF. Extent of LVA and burst positivity Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
