    Notes: Introduction: The causes of transcristal conduction (TC) in patients with atrial flutter (AFL) are unknown. Methods and Results: In two groups of patients referred for AFL ablation, 36 had cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) dependent flutter (Group I) and 24 had lower (n = 21) or upper loop reentry (n = 5) (Group II). After ablation, isthmus block was evaluated by pacing from the coronary sinus (CS) and low lateral right atrium and by alternative techniques, including mapping with electrodes spanning the CTI or electroanatomic mapping. After bidirectional CTI block was verified, 21/36 (58%) in Group I showed TC with CS pacing, including low TC in 16 (including 11 showing “pseudo” CTI conduction), higher TC in 6 and multiple breaks in 3. However, 8 with low TC during CS pacing showed unidirectional block by pacing outside of the CS os. Twelve (50%) in Group II had TC during CS pacing after bidirectional CTI block, with low TC in 5 (2 mimicking residual CTI conduction) and higher breaks in 9. There was no significant difference in the incidence of TC during CS pacing after CTI block between groups. In seven autopsied hearts, the muscle orientation between the proximal CS musculature and Eustachian ridge were examined. Muscular connections between the CS and Eustachian ridge coursing toward the orifice of inferior vena cava were found in one of the hearts. Conclusions: It is concluded that in patients with bidirectional CTI block, pacing from the CS may be associated with TC mimicking a conduction leak through the isthmus. Pacing just outside the CS os helps distinguish pseudo from true isthmus block.

    Reentry Within the Cavotricuspid Isthmus: An Isthmus Dependent Circuit (2005)

    Notes: Background: We describe a new cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) circuit. Methods: This study includes 8 patients referred for atrial flutter (AFL) ablation whose tachycardia circuit was confined to the septal CTI and the os of the coronary sinus (CSOS) region. Entrainment mapping was performed within the CTI, CSOS, and other right atrial annular sites (tricuspid annulus (TA)). Electroanatomic mapping was available in 2 patients. Results: Sustained AFL occurred in all patients with mean tachycardia cycle length (TCL) of 318 ± 54 (276 − 420) ms. During tachycardia, fractionated or double potentials were recorded at either the septal CTI and/or the region of CSOS in all, and concealed entrainment with post-pacing interval (PPI) − TCL ≤ 25 ms occurred in this area; but manifest entrainment with PPI 〉 TCL was demonstrated from the anteroinferior CTI and other annular sites in 7/8 patients. In one, tachycardia continued with conduction block at the anteroinferior CTI during ablation. Up to three different right atrial activation patterns (identical TCL) were observed. The tachycardia showed a counterclockwise (CCW) pattern in 6, a clockwise pattern in 2, and simultaneous activation of both low lateral right atrium and septum in 5. Electroanatomic mapping was available in 2, showing an early area arising from the septal CTI in 1, and a CCW activation sequence along the TA in another. Radiofrequency application to the septal CTI terminated tachycardia in 4, and tachycardia no longer inducible in all. Conclusions: We describe a tachycardia circuit confined to the septal CTI/CSOS region, and hypothesize that this circuit involves slow conduction within the CTI and around the CSOS, which acts as a central obstacle.

    Protected Circumferential Conduction in the Posterior Atrioventricular Vestibule of the Left Atrium: Electrophysiologic and Anatomic Correlates (2005)

    Notes: Background: The anatomic substrate for protected isthmus conduction in the right atrium has been well defined. Little is known of similar substrates in the left atrium (LA). Methods: Patients (pts) with reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) supported by a single left-sided accessory pathway were studied retrospectively (n = 64) and prospectively (n = 31). Intracardiac electrograms were recorded from the His bundle position and coronary sinus (CS). The LA was mapped with a steerable catheter using the transseptal approach. LA anatomy was examined grossly and histologically in six cadaver hearts after removal of endocardium. Results: A distal-to-proximal CS activation sequence during AVRT was seen in all patients with a left lateral accessory pathway before ablation. After one to three radiofrequency (RF) energy deliveries that did not interrupt accessory pathway conduction, the CS activation sequence was reversed in three patients in the retrospective group and bidirectional conduction block in the posterior atrioventricular vestibule of the LA (PAVV) was demonstrated in nine patients in the prospective group. Four of the six cadaver hearts showed a distinct circumferential inferoposterior myocardial bundle that coursed parallel to the CS in the PAVV. Conclusions: We described evidence of bidirectional intraatrial block in the PAVV after application of RF energy during accessory pathway ablation. Such conduction block may mimic the presence of a second accessory pathway. Our data suggest that circumferential conduction in the PAVV may be poorly coupled to the rest of the LA and may be involved in the macro-reentrant circuit around the mitral annulus. The circumferential inferoposterior myocardial bundle may serve as the underlying anatomic substrate

    The History of AV Nodal Reentry (2005)

    Notes: Though patients with AV nodal reentry are now routinely cured by catheter ablation, the basic mechanism of this disorder is still under debate. The putative mechanism of AV node reentry was first discovered by the elegant work of Gordon Moe. He demonstrated the existence of dual pathways and echo beats in rabbits. Building on these seminal observations, the mechanism of AVNRT has burgeoned to include the possibility of left atrial input into the node. The first curative nonpharmacologic procedures involved surgical dissection around the AV node and the procedure was rapidly supplanted by catheter ablation procedures. The initial ablative procedure targeted the fast pathway, but later observations showed that ablation of the slow pathway was more effective and safer. Cure of AV nodal reentry which is the most common cause of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia became possible through the cooperative efforts of anatomists, physiologists, surgeons, and clinical electrophysiologists.
