Left Atrial Tachycardia After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Can Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assist the Ablation?

We present a case of a magnetic resonance imaging-assisted ablation of an atrial tachycardia in a patient with previous atrial fibrillation ablation. A 3-D reconstruction of the delayed-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR; CMR model) was created to identify previous ablation lesions and gaps. M...

Abstract We present a case of a magnetic resonance imaging-assisted ablation of an atrial tachycardia in a patient with previous atrial fibrillation ablation. A 3-D reconstruction of the delayed-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR; CMR model) was created to identify previous ablation lesions and gaps. Multiple gaps around right-sided pulmonary veins were observed. The activation map identified a dual-loop re-entry around both right-sided pulmonary veins, confirming that the substrate identified using delayed-enhanced CMR was critical to sustain the tachycardia. Ablation at this site converted to sinus rhythm. The present case shows the usefulness of delayed-enhanced CMR substrate characterization to complement activation mapping of the tachycardia and more accurately define the anatomical circuit. Nous présentons un cas d’ablation assistée par IRM d’une tachycardie auriculaire chez un patient ayant déjà subi une ablation de fibrillation auriculaire. Une reconstruction 3D à partir de la résonance magnétique cardiaque retardée à haute résolution (RMC; modèle RMC) a été créée pour déceler les lésions et les lacunes de l’ablation précédente. De multiples lacunes autour de la veine pulmonaire droite ont été observées. La cartographie d’activation a révélé une réentrée à double bouche autour de chaque veine pulmonaire droite, ce qui confirme que le substrat décelé au moyen de la RMC retardée à haute résolution était essentiel au maintien de la tachycardie. La conversion en rythme sinusal a été obtenue après l’ablation à ce site. Le présent cas montre l’utilité de la caractérisation du substrat par RMC retardée à haute résolution pour compléter la cartographie d’activation de la tachycardie et définir plus précisément le circuit anatomique.
