Abstract

Catheter ablation has been the go-to treatment for ventricular arrhythmia, with traditional fluoroscopy-guided and non-zero fluoroscopy (NZF) catheter ablation posing high radiation risk for operators and patients. Zero-fluoroscopy technique offers elimination of radiation risk; however, its efficacy and safety in ventricular arrhythmia patients are not well explored. The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of zero-fluoroscopy ablation on ventricular arrhythmia patients. This study only included relevant studies comparing zero-fluoroscopy and NZF in ventricular arrhythmia ablation that were identified from Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect (up to June 20, 2024). The quality of the study was assessed using the ROBINS-I tool, and the meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effect model. Out of 383 studies found, nine cohort studies were included with 1.408 patients. There was no significant difference in the acute procedural success rate of the zero-fluoroscopy and NZF (relative risk: 1.01; 95%CI: 0.95–1.07; p=0.69), with a similar recurrence rate (p=0.88; for four studies; n=374), and comparable procedural time (mean difference: -19.22 minutes; 95%CI: -41.16–2.72; p=0.09). Adverse events such as pericardial effusion, pseudoaneurysm, and hematoma were similar between zero-fluoroscopy and NZF. Overall, zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation has demonstrated non-inferiority as a treatment option for ventricular arrhythmia ablation. As zero-fluoroscopy eliminates radiation risk without compromising procedural efficacy, zero-fluoroscopy has the potential to become a widely adopted approach for catheter ablation in ventricular arrhythmia.

Abstract

Background: Posterior communicating artery (PCOM) aneurysms are the prevalent type of aneurysm with high rupture risks. Isolated oculomotor nerve (CN III) palsy is a key symptom warranting heightened awareness in primary care. Given the need for advanced imaging, early referral is paramount. This study highlights the significance of prompt identification, targeted intervention, and comprehensive management in optimizing patient outcomes. Case: A 58-year-old woman presented with isolated CN III palsy. The patient underwent rapid referral to tertiary care with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA), revealing an aneurysm in the PCOM. Subsequently, coiling was performed to achieve complete occlusion. The procedure resulted in significant neurological recovery, with restoration of CN III function. Post-coiling, the patient receives close nurse monitoring, incorporating fall management and comprehensive education before discharge. CN III palsy is one of the unique-noticeable presentations of PCOM aneurysms, though symptoms may include facial pain, occasional headaches, and migraines. Coiling was chosen due to its less invasiveness and was recommended for posterior circulation aneurysms. Blood pressure control is essential to prevent aneurysm formation, rupture, and recurrence. Regular imaging follow-ups were needed to ensure long-term outcomes. Conclusion: PCOM aneurysm care involves a multidisciplinary approach. Rapid identification, early referral, immediate occlusion, and comprehensive rehabilitative programs were mandatory to improve patient outcomes.
