Résumé

The identification of low-voltage proarrhythmic areas for catheter ablation of scar-mediated ventricular tachycardia (VT) remains challenging. Integration of myocardial perfusion imaging (single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography; SPECT/CT) and electroanatomical mapping (EAM) may improve delineation of the arrhythmogenic substrate. To assess the feasibility of SPECT/CT image integration with voltage maps using the EnSite Precision system (Abbott) in patients undergoing scar-mediated VT ablation. Patients underwent SPECT/CT imaging prior to left ventricular (LV) EAM with the EnSite Precision mapping system. The SPECT/CT, EAM data, and ablation lesions were retrospectively co-registered in the EnSite Precision system and exported for analysis. Segmental tissue viability scores were calculated based on SPECT/CT perfusion and electrogram bipolar voltage amplitude. Concordance, specificity, and sensitivity between the 2 modalities as well as the impact of SPECT/CT spatial resolution were evaluated. Twenty subjects (95% male, 67 ± 7 years old, left ventricular ejection fraction 36% ± 11%) underwent EAM and SPECT/CT integration. A concordance of 70% was found between EAM and SPECT/CT for identification of cardiac segments as scar vs viable, with EAM showing a 68.5% sensitivity and 76.4% specificity when using SPECT/CT as a gold standard. Projection on low-resolution 3D geometries led to an average decrease of 38% ± 22% of the voltage points used. The study demonstrated the feasibility of integrating SPECT/CT with EAM performed retrospectively for characterization of anatomical substrates during VT ablation procedures.

Background UNASSIGNED
The identification of low-voltage proarrhythmic areas for catheter ablation of scar-mediated ventricular tachycardia (VT) remains challenging. Integration of myocardial perfusion imaging (single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography; SPECT/CT) and electroanatomical mapping (EAM) may improve delineation of the arrhythmogenic substrate.
Objective UNASSIGNED
To assess the feasibility of SPECT/CT image integration with voltage maps using the EnSite Precision system (Abbott) in patients undergoing scar-mediated VT ablation.
Methods UNASSIGNED
Patients underwent SPECT/CT imaging prior to left ventricular (LV) EAM with the EnSite Precision mapping system. The SPECT/CT, EAM data, and ablation lesions were retrospectively co-registered in the EnSite Precision system and exported for analysis. Segmental tissue viability scores were calculated based on SPECT/CT perfusion and electrogram bipolar voltage amplitude. Concordance, specificity, and sensitivity between the 2 modalities as well as the impact of SPECT/CT spatial resolution were evaluated.
Results UNASSIGNED
Twenty subjects (95% male, 67 ± 7 years old, left ventricular ejection fraction 36% ± 11%) underwent EAM and SPECT/CT integration. A concordance of 70% was found between EAM and SPECT/CT for identification of cardiac segments as scar vs viable, with EAM showing a 68.5% sensitivity and 76.4% specificity when using SPECT/CT as a gold standard. Projection on low-resolution 3D geometries led to an average decrease of 38% ± 22% of the voltage points used.
Conclusion UNASSIGNED
The study demonstrated the feasibility of integrating SPECT/CT with EAM performed retrospectively for characterization of anatomical substrates during VT ablation procedures.
