1 EHRA educational review and preparatory course for accreditation examination Invasive Cardiac Electrophysiology examination preparatory course Basic concepts, techniques and safety issues of arrhythmia ablation Prof. Dr. M. Antz Oldenburg Heart Center, Germany European Heart House Sophia-Antipolis, France 25th of February, 2011: 9:00-10:30 Matthias Antz
2 RFC is passed through the patient circuit. The tissue around the probe tip is heated by the electric current. How RF ablation works Power The rise in tissue temperature causes a lesion and interrupts transmission of myocardial signals. The tip does not get hot itself. The temperature rise takes place directly in the tissue and is measured in the tip by a Thermocouple: exactly in the center of a full metal tip for best thermal conductivity or Thermistor: compatible with older generator technologies
3 Tissue Heating Heat lost to circulating blood Electrode tip heated from the tissue Zone of resistive heating Zone of conductive heating Huang and Wilber: Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias Futura Publishing 2000
4 Current flow The current follows two pathways: blood and tissue, each with different impedance (R) R Blood is smaller than R Tissue most current ist lost to blood Good wall contact more contact area more current enters the tissue
5 Temperature controlled ablation Effects of low and high blood flow Low blood flow: target temperature reached with 15 W small lesion High blood flow: target temperature reached with 30 W large lesion
6 Conventional Electrodes: 4 mm vs 8 mm Tip 18 W 35 W* mm Tip 8 mm Tip Electrode Electrode Blood Flow: 350 ml/min * p<0.05 vs 4mm Tip Otomo et al: JCE 1998;9:47-54
7 Experimental Experience 1) High blood flow allows higher power delivery to the tissue and this results in deeper lesions 2) Larger electrodes provide greater electrode cooling allowing higher power delivery and this results in deeper lesions 3) Small electrodes have a higher recording resolution
8 Different electrodes 4mm 8mm irrigated Recording resolution high low high Risk of thrombus high high low Large lesions possible no yes yes
9 Irrigated tip ablation Lesion size
10 Irrigated Tip Ablation Lesion shape
11 Ablations using irrigated tip (Oldenburg) Irrigation flow - mapping: 2 ml/min - ablation: 17 ml/min (<30W) - ablation: 30 ml/min ( 30W) Power control - CS/MCV: 10 W (increase in 5 W steps) - other parts: 30 W (max. 40 W, caveat 50W) Temperature limit: 43 C Duration of ablation: 120 sec Cave: volume overload due to irrigation fluid
12 Matsudaira, Nakagawa et al., NASPE 1999 Effect of Irrigation Flow on Ablation (50W, 60s) 3.5 mm Irrigated Tip Electrode (7F) Irrigation Flow 10ml/min 17ml/min 30ml/min 60ml/min Electrode Temp C* 47 5 C* 39 3 C* 34 2 C* Thrombus 85%* 33%* 0% 0% Impedance Rise 46%* 13% 0% 0% * p<0.05 between flow rates
13 Nakagawa et al., Circulation 1998; 98: mm versus 5 mm Irrigated Electrode W W W Irrigated Tip Irrigated Tip 2 mm 5 mm
14 Nakagawa et al., Circulation 1998; 98: Circuit for RF Ablation RF Generator 50 V Ablation Electrode Blood R Tissue RBlood Blood Tissue R Remote perpendicular 2 mm 5 mm R Remote 30 W 30 W R Tissue 199 W 198 W R Blood 103 W 50 W
15 Summary RFC heats the tissue, which then heats the ablation electrode Blood flow and electrode-tissue contact have the largest impact on lesion formation during conventional RFC ablation During ablation the electrode temperature, power and impedance should be monitored Risk of thrombus formation is increased at high electrode temperatures High electrode temperatures predominantely occur at high power and can be avoided by using an irrigated tip electrode Matthias Antz
