Recent contact mapping studies in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) demonstrated that phase analysis produced a different mechanistic result than classical activation sequence analysis. Our studies in patients with persistent AF showed that focal sources sometimes produced repetitive wannabe reentry, i.e., incomplete reentry. This study was to test the hypotheses that 1) when using phase analysis, repetitive wannabe reentry produces a phase singularity point, i.e., a rotor; 2) the location of the stable rotor is close to the focal source. During open heart surgery, we recorded activation from both atria simultaneously using 510–512 electrodes in 12 patients with persistent AF. We performed activation sequence mapping and phase analyses on 4 seconds of mapped data. For each detected stable rotor (> 2 full rotations [720°] recurring at the same site), the corresponding activation patterns were examined from the activation sequence maps. During AF, phase singularity points (rotors) were identified in both atria in all patients. However, stable phase singularity points were only present in 6/12 patients. The range of stable phase singularity points per patient was 0 – 6 (total 14). Stable phase singularity points were produced due to repetitive wannabe reentry generated from a focal source or by passive activation. A conduction block sometimes created a stable phase singularity point (2 patients). The average distance between a focal source and a stable rotor was 0.9±0.3 cm. Repetitive wannabe reentry generated stable rotors adjacent to a focal source. No true reentry occurred. Recent studies in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) demonstrated that phase analysis produces a different mechanistic result than classical activation sequence analysis. Our data demonstrated that repetitive wannabe reentry identified by activation sequence analysis produced a stable phase singularity point (“rotor”) identified by phase analysis. Importantly, repetitive focal activation can produce a repetitive wannabe reentry that generates a stable phase singularity point (“rotor”) adjacent to a site of focal activation. These findings support the possibility that targeted ablation that terminates AF at apparent rotor sites may be an ablation of focal sources that drive AF.
