Outcome of Intra-Atrial Re-Entrant Tachycardia Catheter Ablation in Adults With Congenital Heart Disease
Open accessAbstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the acute and long-term outcome of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for intra-atrial re-entrant tachycardia (IART) in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), and predictors of these outcomes.Background Atrial myopathy can be progressive in CHD and contributes to the substrate for IART. Although the outcome of RFCA for IART has been well described in children and adolescents with CHD, it is unclear whether these results are similar in the adult population.Methods Clinical records of adults with CHD undergoing attempted RFCA of IART were analyzed retrospectively. Multivariate analyses identified clinical and procedural factors that predicted acute and long-term outcomes.Results A total of 193 procedures was performed in 130 patients (mean age 40 ± 13 years); 82 of 118 (69%) initially attempted RFCA were successful, defined as termination of all IART circuits. The use of electroanatomic mapping was associated with a successful RFCA, whereas Fontan palliation and Mustard repair were associated with an unsuccessful RFCA. Median clinical follow-up of 77 patients (≥2 months of follow-up) after a successful RFCA was 3.7 years (range 0.2 to 10.2 years). IART recurrence was noted in 48%, cardioversion/reablation in 42%, and death in 4%. Older age and Fontan palliation were independent predictors of IART recurrence.Conclusions In adults with CHD, acute and long-term outcomes of RFCA for IART are similar to those reported for younger cohorts. Complex atrial surgery limits the success of RFCA, and older age is associated with a higher risk of IART recurrence.

In the citing paper
“Both Fontan and Mustard repairs have been associated with less successful ablation results as compared to other ACHD anomalies, related not only to the low success rate of catheter ablation (54% vs. 83% for other CHD) but also to a high recurrence rate (50% vs. 32%) after an initial successful ablation procedure.363,365”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
