Characteristics and Ablation Outcomes of Atrial Tachycardia in Patients with Prior Cardiac Surgery vs. Spontaneous Scars: Where Are the Differences?
(1) Background: Atrial scars play an important role in atrial tachycardia (AT). They can not only be found in patients with prior cardiac surgery (PCS) but also in patients without PCS or significant structural heart disease, in which case the scar is called a spontaneous scar (SS). This study aims...

description | (1) Background: Atrial scars play an important role in atrial tachycardia (AT). They can not only be found in patients with prior cardiac surgery (PCS) but also in patients without PCS or significant structural heart disease, in which case the scar is called a spontaneous scar (SS). This study aims to compare the characteristics, mechanisms and ablation outcomes of AT in patients with PCS and SS. (2) Methods: We retrospectively reviewed electrophysiological and ablative characteristics of ATs in 46 patients with PCS and 18 patients with SS. (3) Results: There were averages of 1.52 and 2.33 ATs per patient in the PCS group and SS group, respectively (p < 0.01). Cavo-tricuspid isthmus dependent atrial flutter (CTI-AFL) was presented in most patients in both groups (93.50% vs. 77.80%, p = 0.17), whereas the SS group had a higher occurrence of scar-mediated reentrant AT (SMAT) and focal AT (FAT) compared with the PCS group (88.90% vs. 39.10%, p < 0.01; 22.2% vs. 2.2%, p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in acute success rate between the two groups, whereas patients with SS had lower long-term success rate (87.0% vs. 61.1%, p < 0.05) and higher occurrence of sinus node dysfunction (SND) (4.3% vs. 22.2%, p < 0.05). (4) Conclusions: CTI-AFL is common in both patients with PCS and SS, and routine CTI ablation is recommended. Compared with patients with PCS, patients with SS have more ATs, especially with higher occurrence of SMAT and FAT, and had a lower long-term success rate and higher incidence of SND. |
