Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to elucidate the arrhythmogenic mechanisms of the vein of Marshall through electrophysiological and biochemical examinations, while also evaluating the impact of its arrhythmogenicity on the recurrence of arrhythmias after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. Ultimately, the goal is to contribute to improving the prognosis of patients with atrial fibrillation.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

An electrode catheter will be inserted into the vein of Marshall to perform electrophysiological study. Furthermore, blood samples will be obtained from the vein of Marshall.In the electrophysiological study, pacing from the vein of Marshall will be used to assess the extent of electrical coupling between the vein of Marshall and the left atrium, the occurrence of reentry, and the induction of atrial fibrillation. Biochemical markers will also be measured in the blood samples. The data obtained from these testing will be evaluated for their correlation with arrhythmia recurrence after ablation observed during follow-up.

Interventions/Control_1

Induction and Evaluation of Marshall Vein-Left Atrium Reentry
A 1.6Fr electrode catheter will be inserted into the vein of Marshall. Premature stimulation and burst stimulation will be delivered from the electrode catheter. Local potentials of the vein of Marshall will be observed during each stimulation to evaluate the presence of Marshall vein-left atrium reentry. The induction of atrial arrhythmias will also be assessed. Pulmonary vein isolation and linear ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus will be performed, followed by the same stimulation protocol.

Evaluation of the Extent of Electrical Coupling Between the Vein of Marshall and the Left Atrium
Continuous pacing from the electrode catheter inserted into the vein of Marshall will be performed. During pacing, left atrial mapping will be conducted using a three-dimensional mapping system. The extent of electrical coupling between the vein of Marshall and the left atrium will be evaluated using activation and propagation maps. The extent of electrical coupling is defined as the area where simultaneous excitation occurs during pacing.

Measurement of Biochemical Markers in the Vein of Marshall
Before ablation, a blood sample will be collected from the catheter inserted into the vein of Marshall to measure inflammatory markers and fibrosis markers.

Postoperative Follow-up
For the first two days postoperatively, patients will be monitored via electrocardiogram. Thereafter, follow-up visits will be conducted monthly to evaluate arrhythmia recurrence based on symptoms and ECG findings. If necessary, Holter electrocardiogram monitoring will be performed. Recurrence of atrial arrhythmias is defined as the occurrence of atrial arrhythmias lasting more than 30 seconds, beginning three months after the procedure.
