OBJECTIVESTo evaluate the incidence, predictors and clinical implications of nonintentionally catheter-induced mechanical trauma to accessory pathways during radiofrequency ablation procedures.BACKGROUNDData on the incidence and significance of catheter-induced trauma to accessory pathways are scarce.METHODSConsecutive patients (n = 381) undergoing radiofrequency ablation of accessory pathways at two different institutions were closely monitored for appearance of mechanical block of accessory pathways during catheter manipulation.RESULTSMechanical trauma to accessory pathways was observed in 37 (9.7%) patients. According to a multivariate analysis, the only independent variable associated with this phenomenon was the anatomical pathway location (p = 0.0001). The incidence of trauma of either right anteroseptal (38.5%) or right atriofascicular pathways (33.3%) was significantly greater than that of pathways (≤10%) at all remaining locations (p < 0.0001). The duration of conduction block observed ranged from ≤1 min to >30 min in 19% and 35% of patients, respectively. “Immediate” application of radiofrequency pulses at sites of mechanical block (<1 min after occurrence) was associated with a 78% long-term success rate at follow-up. This contrasted with a 25% long-term success rate in patients in whom pulses were delivered 30 min after occurrence of block (“delayed pulses”). Finally, in 24% of patients persistent trauma-induced conduction block led to discontinuation of the ablation procedure.CONCLUSIONSTrauma to accessory pathways is more common than previously recognized and frequently results in prolongation or discontinuation of the ablation procedure and in lower success rates. The only independent predictor of catheter-trauma to accessory pathways is the pathway location.
