Background:The use of iodine contrast agents is one possible limitation in cryoballoon ablation (CBA) for atrial fibrillation (AF). This study investigated intracardiac echography (ICE)-guided contrast-free CBA.Methods and Results:The study was divided into 2 phases. First, 25 paroxysmal AF patients (Group 1) underwent CBA, and peri-balloon leak flow velocity (PLFV) was assessed using ICE and electrical pulmonary vein (PV) lesion gaps were assessed by high-density electroanatomical mapping. Then, 24 patients (Group 2) underwent ICE-guided CBA and were compared with 25 patients who underwent conventional CBA (historical controls). In Group 1, there was a significant correlation between PLFV and electrical PV gap diameter (r=–0.715, P<0.001). PLFV was higher without than with an electrical gap (mean [±SD] 127.0±28.6 vs. 66.6±21.0 cm/s; P<0.001) and the cut-off value of PLFV to predict electrical isolation was 105.7 cm/s (sensitivity 0.700, specificity 0.929). In Group 2, ICE-guided CBA was successfully performed with acute electrical isolation of all PVs and without the need for “rescue” contrast injection. Atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence at 6 months did not differ between ICE-guided and conventional CBA (3/24 [12.5%] vs. 5/25 [20.0%], respectively; P=0.973, log-rank test).Conclusions:PLFV predicted the presence of an electrical PV gap after CBA. ICE-guided CBA was feasible and safe, and could potentially be performed completely contrast-free without a decrease in ablation efficacy.

Background: Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 polymorphism is associated with reduced responsiveness to clopidogrel and poor clinical outcome after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, but its contribution to lesion outcome after DES implantation is unclear. Methods and Results: The study included 160 Japanese patients who received clopidogrel and underwent DES implantation with follow-up angiography. Patients were divided into 3 groups by CYP2C19 polymorphism: extensive metabolizers (EM), intermediate metabolizers (IM), and poor metabolizers (PM). The incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and target lesion revascularization (TLR) were compared among the 3 groups. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed for 120 patients to evaluate the incidence of intra-stent thrombi. Of the 160 patients, the proportion of EM, IM, and PM was 37.5%, 48.1%, and 14.4%, respectively. The incidence of TLR and MACE was more frequent in IM and PM than EM (TLR: 18.2% and 26.1% vs. 3.3%, P=0.008, MACE: 22.1% and 30.4% vs. 5.0%, P=0.005). Among the 120 patients who underwent follow-up OCT, intra-stent thrombi were more frequently detected in IM and PM than in EM (45.6% and 63.2% vs. 20.5%, P=0.005). The incidence of TLR was significantly higher in patients with than in those without intra-stent thrombi (27.7% vs. 6.8%, P=0.003). Conclusions: CYP2C19 loss-of-function polymorphism might be associated with the incidence of MACE and TLR in association with intra-stent thrombi.  (Circ J 2012; 76: 2348–2355)
