Synopsis

Migotanie przedsionków stanowi najczęstszą tachyarytmię nadkomorową, której leczenie do tej pory polegało na redukcji czynników ryzyka poprzez zmianę stylu życia oraz na kardiowersji farmakologicznej lub elektrycznej. Obecnie coraz częściej stosuję się zabieg ablacji, który ma na celu likwidacje ektopowych ognisk w których dochodzi do generowania nieprawidłowych impulsów. Procedura polega na wprowadzeniu cewnika do jam serca i destrukcję rejonu odpowiedzialnego za powstawanie patologicznych pobudzeń. Obszar ten z czasem fizjologicznie zastępowany jest blizną łącznotkantową. Aktualne techniki takie jak termoablacja i krioablacja istotnie zmniejszają ryzyko nawrotów AF, hospitalizacji, a także wystąpienia poważnych powikłań zagrażających życiu m.in. udar niedokrwienny. Pomimo redukcji wielu czynników ryzyka, techniki ablacji stale związane są z występowaniem powikłań w postaci krwawień czy porażenia nerwu przeponowego. Poza klasycznymi formami ablacji, rozwijane są nowe metody takie jak ablacja polem pulsacyjnym czy nietermiczna elektroporacja, których celem jest przede wszystkim zwiększenie skuteczności zabiegu oraz minimalizowanie powikłań. Niniejszy przegląd przedstawia porównanie najczęściej wykorzystywanych technik ablacji oraz ich skuteczności.
