Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using a Visually Guided Laser Balloon Catheter: The First 200-Patient Multicenter Clinical Experience
Original language description
Background Because of the technical difficulty with achieving pulmonary vein (PV) isolation in the treatment of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, novel catheter designs to facilitate the procedure are in development. A visually guided laser ablation (VGLA) catheter was designed to allow the operator to directly visualize target tissue for ablation and then deliver laser energy to perform point-to-point circumferential ablation. Single-center studies have demonstrated favorable safety and efficacy. We sought to determine the multicenter feasibility, efficacy, and safety of performing PV isolation using the VGLA catheter. Methods and Results This study includes the first 200 paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients treated with the VGLA catheter (33 operators, 15 centers). After transseptal puncture, the VGLA catheter was used to perform PV isolation. Electric isolation was assessed using a circular mapping catheter. Using the VGLA catheter, 98.8% (95% confidence interval, 97.
