Background : Real-time phase mapping (ExTRa™) is useful in determining the strategy of catheter ablation for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aimed to investigate the features of drivers of AF associated with its termination during ablation. Methods: Thirty-six patients who underwent catheter ablation for non-paroxysmal AF using online real-time phase mapping (ExTRa™) were enrolled. A significant AF driver was defined as an area with a non-passively activated ratio of ≥ 50% on mapping analysis in the left atrium (LA). All drivers were simultaneously evaluated using a low-voltage area, complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE), and rotational activity by unipolar electrogram analysis. The electrical characteristics of drivers were compared between patients with and without AF termination during the procedure. Results: Twelve patients achieved AF termination during the procedure. The total number of drivers detected on the mapping was significantly lower (4.4 ± 1.6 vs. 7.4 ± 3.8, p = 0.007), and the drivers were more concentrated in limited LA regions (2.8 ± 0.9 vs. 3.9 ± 1.4, p = 0.009) in the termination group than in the non-termination group. The presence of drivers 2–6 with limited (≤ 3) LA regions showed a tenfold increase in the likelihood of AF termination, with 83% specificity and 67% sensitivity. Among 231 AF drivers, the drivers related to termination exhibited a greater overlap of CFAE (56.8 ± 34.1% vs. 39.5 ± 30.4%, p = 0.004) than the non-related drivers. The termination group showed a trend toward a lower recurrence rate after ablation (p = 0.163). Conclusions: Rotors responsible for AF maintenance may be characterized in cases with concentrated regions and fewer drivers on mapping. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
