This study sought to explore whether prolonged duration (PD) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) from adjacent endocardial locations can improve catheter ablation (CA) outcomes of left ventricular summit (LVS) ventricular arrhythmias (Vas). CA of VAs originating from the LVS region can be challenging. Patients undergoing CA of LVS VAs from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019, were included. Standard RFA approach involved incremental power titration (20-45 W) over 60-120 seconds with irrigated tip catheter to achieve 10%-12% impedance drop. Prolonged duration RFA involved similar power titration; however, lesion application was extended beyond 120 seconds (maximum 5 minutes). Lesions were confined to lowest aspect of aortic cusps and/or subvalvular LV outflow tract region (≤0.5 cm from the valve). Procedural success was defined as suppression of VA ≥30 minutes postablation and clinical success as no arrhythmia symptoms on follow-up and >80% reduction of VA burden on postprocedure monitor. This study included 102 patients (60±14 years old, 62% male): standard RFA in 80 and PD RFA in 38. Procedural success was achieved in 54 patients with standard and 32 patients with PD RFA (68% vs 84%; P = 0.05). Short-term clinical success was achieved in 48 patients (60%) with standard and 30 patients (79%) with PD RFA (P = 0.04). Two pericardial effusions occurred (1 in each group) and no steam pops were noted. Patients in whom standard RFA was successful were more likely to have R/S ratio >1 or absence of qS in lead I (odds ratio: 3.35; 95% CI: 1.20-9.35; P = 0.03). Prolonged duration RFA from adjacent endocardial locations is a safe and effective technique for successfully targeting challenging LVS VAs that fail standard RFA.

D017115 Catheter Ablation Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.
