Assessment

Primary outcomes

Pulmonary vein isolation is performed while varying the generator impedance by switching the number of counter electrodes, and the relationship between local impedance reduction at adjacent sites and generator impedance is analyzed using data automatically recorded on the RhythmiaTM mapping system workstation.

Key secondary outcomes

Other parameters related to the ablation and their relation to generator impedance are also analyzed using ablation data automatically recorded on the RhythmiaTM mapping system workstation.

Interventions/Control_1

The Rhythmia HDx mapping system and IntellaNav Stablepoint catheter are used for PVI. Before starting the ablation, a voltage map of the area around the pulmonary vein is created to assess the morphology of the left atrium and the degree of degeneration. Before starting PVI, check the generator impedance with one or two effective counter electrodes. The generator impedance varies depending on the body size, etc. If the value is high, the position of the counter electrodes should be adjusted, since there is concern about a decrease in current-carrying efficiency if the value is high. In principle, the generator impedance value is expected to be higher with a single counter electrode if other conditions are the same. Only the ablation of the anterior wall of the left pulmonary vein and the anterior/posterior walls of the right pulmonary vein are the subject of this study. In the usual treatment, the number of effective counter electrodes during a session is fixed at 1 or 2 (both of which are approved in the package insert), but in this intervention study, the number of effective counter electrodes is changed continuously, alternating between 1 (high generator impedance) and 2 (low generator impedance) for each ablation. The counter electrodes are always attached, and the connection between the second counter electrode cable and the generator is connected or disconnected at each ablation to enable or disable the second counter electrode. The basic power output is 40 W. However, if the local impedance drop is rapid, the output can be reduced at the operators' discretion due to the risk of a pop phenomenon. In principle, the goal is to reduce the local impedance by approximately 20-30 ohm with 40 W. If the value is not acquired, the ablation time is extended up to approximately 20-30 seconds. The target contact force is 5-15g, and the target inter-lesion distance is 4mm-5mm.
