BackgroundLesion gaps assessed by late‐gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE‐MRI) are associated with the atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation. Animal studies have demonstrated that the catheter‐contact force (CF), stability, and orientation are strongly associated with lesion formation. However, the impact of those procedural factors on the lesion characteristics associated with AF recurrence has not been well discussed.MethodsA total of 30 patients with paroxysmal AF who underwent catheter ablation were retrospectively enrolled. Radiofrequency (RF) applications were performed with 35 W for 30 s in a point‐by‐point fashion under esophageal temperature monitoring. The inter‐lesion distance was 4 mm. The lesions were visualized by LGE‐MRI 3 months postprocedure and assessed by the LGE volume (ml), gap number (GN), and average gap length (AGL [mm]). The gaps were defined as nonenhancement sites of >4 mm. The procedural factors including the catheter‐CF, stability, and orientation were calculated on the NavX system.ResultsSix (20%) of 30 patients had AF recurrences 12 months postablation. A univariate analysis demonstrated that the AGL was associated with AF recurrence (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.20, confidence interval [CI]: 1.03–1.42,p= .02). All AF recurrence were found in patients with an AGL of >7 mm. The catheter‐CF and stability were associated with an AGL of >7 mm, but not the orientation (CF—HR: 0.62, CI: 0.39–0.97,p= .038; stability—HR: 0.8, CI: 0.66–0.98,p= .027).ConclusionsRF ablation with a low CF and poor catheter stability has a potential risk of creating large lesion gaps associated with AF recurrence.
