| More Details: | Abstract Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is performed under general anesthesia (GA) or conscious sedation (CS). GA during PVI may improve treatment outcomes by improving catheter stability. However, the magnitude of GA-derived catheter stability compared with that of CS is unclear. We directly assessed catheter movement and determined the impact of GA compared with that of CS on ablation catheter stability during PVI. Patients who underwent initial ablation using the EnSite Precision™ mapping system were recruited and divided into two groups (GA and CS groups). The two groups were compared for ablation catheter stability during PVI based on the distance traveled by the catheter distal tip per second, clinical periprocedural characteristics, and periprocedural complications. Among 69 consecutively admitted patients, data of 30 patients (17 in the GA group and 13 in the CS group) and the distance traveled per second by the catheter on 148,976 points/patient were evaluated. The GA group had a significantly smaller catheter tip travel distance than the CS group (0.92 [0.82‒1.16] vs. 1.25 [1.14‒1.38], p = 0.01). Therefore, GA during PVI for AF provides greater catheter stability than CS and will contribute to more accessible and safer PVI procedures. |
