Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) might be an arrhythmogenic substrate. Endocardiectomy and cryoablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) with LVA can cause extensive myocardial damage. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of surgical radial linear ablation for VT with LVA guided by electrophysiological mapping. Porcine models of VT with LVA were developed. Endocardial and epicardial substrate mapping during sinus rhythm were performed under thoracotomy. Surgical radial linear ablation was achieved by a bipolar radiofrequency ablation device. Outcomes, including procedural success and acute freedom of VT, were analyzed. Fifteen of 20 pigs developed LVA in a 6-wk survival period. A total of 28 sustained monomorphic VTs were initiated in 13 of 15 pigs (86.67%). The number of potential points captured from the endocardium and epicardium were 319 ± 45 and 358 ± 52 per animal, respectively. The ablative targets containing abnormal potentials were located largely on the border zone of LVA. Eight linear lesions from core to border zone of LVA were achieved per animal in a radial and even manner continuously, and ablation was repeated three times to transect border zone. The acute freedom of VT was 84.62%, P < 0.05. Surgical linear endo-epicardial ablation seemed to be feasible in a porcine model with VT and LVA.

D006322 Heart Aneurysm A localized bulging or dilatation in the muscle wall of a heart (MYOCARDIUM), usually in the LEFT VENTRICLE. Blood-filled aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst. Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. True aneurysm is bound by the vessel wall or cardiac wall. False aneurysms are HEMATOMA caused by myocardial rupture. Cardiac Aneurysm,Aneurysm, Cardiac,Aneurysm, Heart,Aneurysms, Cardiac,Aneurysms, Heart,Cardiac Aneurysms,Heart Aneurysms
