Voltage-based electroanatomic mapping system for MR-guided cardiac electrophysiology: preliminary swine validations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background MRI produces images that serve as luminal, edema, & scar maps to assist in the Electrophysiological (EP) treatment of ventricular and atrial arrhythmias [1]. Until MR-compatible EP devices are widely available, there will be a need to perform EP partially in the MRI for imaging, and partially outside the MRI for ablation, puncture & navigation. An MR-conditional voltage-based Electroanatomic Mapping (EAM) system would allow MR-guided EP in MRI & registration-free EP to be performed outside the MRI during X-ray, Intra-Cardiac-Echo (ICE) or EAM guidance. Previously a 1.5T MR-conditional St. Jude Medical EnSite Velocity (Velocity) voltage-based EAM system was presented [2]. The study objective was to conduct a multicatheter registration free EAM (localization & intracardiac Electrogram (EGM) measurement) both in & outside of the MRI.

Background MRI provides luminal, edema, & scar images which assist in the Electrophysiological (EP) treatment of ventricular and atrial arrhythmias]. Until a complete set of MR-compatible EP-devices is available, patients must be repeatedly moved between the MRI, where imaging and mapping occur, to the conventional EP suite, where puncture, navigation and Radio-Frequency Ablation occur. MRI-con...
متن کاملElectroanatomic mapping of the left ventricle in a porcine model of chronic myocardial infarction with magnetic resonance-based catheter tracking.
BACKGROUND X-ray fluoroscopy constitutes the fundamental imaging modality for catheter visualization during interventional electrophysiology procedures. The minimal tissue discriminative capability of fluoroscopy is mitigated in part by the use of electroanatomic mapping systems and enhanced by the integration of preacquired 3-dimensional imaging of the heart with computed tomographic or magnet...

BACKGROUND The MRI-compatible electrophysiology system previously used for MR-guided left ventricular electroanatomic mapping was enhanced with improved MR tracking, an MR-compatible radiofrequency ablation system and higher-resolution imaging sequences to enable mapping, ablation, and ablation monitoring in smaller cardiac structures. MR-tracked navigation was performed to the left atrium (LA)...
متن کاملElectro-anatomic mapping systems in arrhythmias.
Electroanatomic mapping systems have permitted and facilitated difficult interventional ablation procedures for more than a decade. Initially, their use has been in arrhythmias in which the ablation target is difficult to identify, such as ventricular tachycardias in structural heart disease, atypical atrial flutters, or arrhythmias in patients with complex congenital heart defects. In the rece...

Guidance of electrophysiological (EP) procedures by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has significant advantages over x-ray fluoroscopy. Display of electroanatomic mapping (EAM) during an intervention fused with a prior MR volume and DE-MRI derived tissue classification should improve the accuracy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for ventricular arrhythmias. Improved accuracy in the sp...
