Abstract Background With the growing population of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), the number of catheter ablation procedures is expected to increase over time. Purpose We aimed to describe temporal trends in volume and outcomes of catheter ablation procedures in ACHD patients in a large tertiary center. Methods Retrospective observational study including all consecutive ACHD patients undergoing catheter ablation in a tertiary reference center over a 15-year period. Acute procedural success rate (including complete success in case of non-inducibility of any arrhythmia at the end of the procedure) as well as freedom from recurrence at 12 months were analyzed. Results From November 2004 to November 2019, 302 catheter ablations in 221 ACHD patients (43.6±15.0 years, 58.9% males) were performed. The annual number of catheter ablation increased progressively from 4 to 60 by year (p<0.001). Intra-atrial reentrant tachycardia/focal atrial tachycardia was the most common targeted arrhythmia (n=217, 71.9%). Over the study period, acute procedural success rate increased from 45.0% to 93.3% (p<0.001), including complete acute procedural success from 45.0% to 88.1% (p<0.001) (Figure 1). The use of irrigated catheters (30.0% to 94.8%, p<0.001), 3D-mapping systems (60.0% to 96.3%, p<0.001), contact force catheters (0.0% to 91.9%, <0.001), and high-density mapping (0.0% to 71.9%, p<0.01) increased significantly. Use of irrigated catheters (OR=3.96, 95% CI: 1.79–8.55), 3D-mapping system (OR=3.55, 95% CI: 1.62–7.55), contact force catheters (OR=3.46, 95% CI: 1.71–7.25), and high-density mapping (OR=3.85, 95% CI: 1.60–7.26) were associated with acute procedural success. The rate of freedom from any recurrence at 12 months increased from 29.4% to 66.2% (p=0.001). Seven (2.3%) non-fatal complications occurred. Conclusions The number of catheter ablation procedures in ACHD patients has considerably increased over the last 15 years. Advances in ablative technologies appear to be associated with a low rate of complications and a significant improvement in acute and midterm outcomes.

AbstractIn current practice, children with anatomically normal hearts routinely undergo fluoroscopy-free ablations. Infants and children with congenital heart disease (CHD) represent the most difficult population to perform catheter ablation without fluoroscopy. We report two neonatal patients with CHD in whom cardiac ablations were performed without fluoroscopy. The first infant had pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum with refractory supraventricular tachycardia, and the second infant presented with Ebstein’s anomaly of the tricuspid valve along with persistent supraventricular tachycardia. Both patients underwent uncomplicated, successful ablation without recurrence of arrhythmias. These cases suggest that current approaches to minimising fluoroscopy may be useful even in challenging patients such as neonates with CHD.
