The effect of triple freeze-thaw cycles on lesion formation within developing myocardium and coronary arteries, however, has not been studied yet. In eight piglets (mean age 15 weeks, weight 15-20 kg), 30 cryolesions (three consecutive freeze-thaw cycles) were applied to the atrial aspect of both AV valve annuli (n = 18) as well as to ventricular myocardium below the valves (n = 12). Coronary angiography was performed before and after cryoenergy application. The animals were reevaluated by coronary angiography and intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) after 48 h. All hearts were removed for histological examination of the lesions subsequently. After staining (hematoxylin-eosin, desmin immunohistochemistry), lesions was measured by planimetry with a digital virtual miscroscope analysis system and volumes of the cryolesions were calculated. Mean atrial lesion volume was 190.68 +/- 167.53 mm(3) (n = 18), and mean ventricular lesion volume was 184.34 +/- 107.42 mm(3) (n = 12). Compared with previously reported data on lesion volumes after single and double freeze-thaw cycles, lesions were significantly larger. Coronary arteries were unaffected on coronary angiography as well as on ICUS. No affection of coronary arteries was found on histological examination. Application of three consecutive freeze-thaw cycles resulted in increased lesion volume compared with single and double freeze-thaw cycles. No affection of the coronary arteries was evident. To evaluate the clinical benefit and safety of triple cryoenergy application for catheter ablation, prospective randomized trials are required."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00246-016-1564-7"],["dc.identifier.isi","000399219800004"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/42893"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.relation.issn","1432-1971"],["dc.relation.issn","0172-0643"],["dc.title","Effects of Triple Cryoenergy Application on Lesion Formation and Coronary Arteries in the Developing Myocardium"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, almost no data exists on the use of this technology in catheter ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia in patients with congenital heart disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of contact force monitoring during catheter ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia in those patients. Methods Catheter ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia using monitoring of catheter contact force was performed in 28 patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Thirty-two patients matched according to gender, age, and body weight with congenital heart disease undergoing catheter ablation without contact force monitoring served as control group. Parameters reflecting acute procedural success, long-term efficacy, and safety were compared. Results Acute procedural success was statistically not different in both groups (contact force 93 % vs. control 84 %, p = 0.3). Likewise the recurrence rate 1 year after ablation as shown by Kaplan-Meier analysis did not differ (contact force 28 % vs. control 37 %, p = 0.63). Major complications were restricted to groin vessel injuries and occurred in 3 out of 60 patients (contact force n= 1; control n = 2). Complications related to excessive catheter contact force were not observed. Conclusion The present study did not show superiority of catheter contact force monitoring during ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia in patients with CHD in terms of efficacy and safety. Higher contact force compared to pulmonary vein isolation might therefore be required to increase the efficacy of catheter ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia in patients with congenital heart disease."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10840-015-0096-z"],["dc.identifier.isi","000384843600016"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26743070"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/39914"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","1572-8595"],["dc.relation.issn","1383-875X"],["dc.title","Contact force monitoring during catheter ablation of intraatrial reentrant tachycardia in patients with congenital heart disease"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We report our experience in transbaffle access (TBA) to the PVA for ablation of atrial re-entrant tachycardia focusing on technical details. Methods and results In eight patients, six after Mustard procedure and two with a Fontan circulation, endocardial mapping of atrial re-entrant tachycardia revealed the critical part of the re-entry circuit within the PVA. A total of 10 ablation procedures were performed. Detailed angiographic assessment of the anatomy of the systemic and pulmonary venous atria was performed prior to baffle puncture. Transbaffle access was successfully established with a standard transseptal needle in 9 of 10 procedures. No major complications occurred. At the end of the procedure and the removal of the transseptal sheath, there was no residual shunt in any patient. Conclusion Transbaffle access to the PVA for ablation of atrial re-entrant tachycardia is feasible, less invasive than alternative approaches and can be safely applied in patients after Mustard procedure or with a Fontan circulation.
