The durability of pulmonary vein isolation using the visually guided laser balloon catheter: Multicenter results of pulmonary vein remapping studies
Original language description
BACKGROUND The visually guided laser ablation (VGLA) catheter is a compliant, variable-diameter balloon that delivers laser energy around the pulmonary vein (PV) ostium under real-time endoscopic visualization. While acute PV isolation has been shown tobe feasible, limited data exist regarding the durability of isolation. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the durability of PV isolation following ablation using the balloon-based VGLA catheter. METHODS The VGLA catheter was evaluated in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (3 sites, 10 operators). Following transseptal puncture, the VGLA catheter was advanced through a 12-F deflectable sheath and inflated at the target PV ostium. Under endoscopic guidance, the 30 degrees aiming arc was maneuveredaround the PV and laser energy was delivered to ablate tissue in a contiguous/overlapping manner. At similar to 3 months, all patients returned for a PV remapping procedure. RESULTS In 56 patients, 202 of 206 PVs (98%) were acutely isola
