Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to test the feasibility and usefulness of a new delayed-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (DE-CMR)–guided approach to ablate gaps in redo procedures. Background Recurrences of atrial fibrillation (AF) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) may be related to gaps at the ablation lines. DE-CMR allows identification of radiofrequency lesions and gaps (CMR gaps). Methods Fifteen patients undergoing repeated AF ablations were included (prior procedure was PVI in all patients and roof-line ablation in 8 patients). Pre-procedure 3-dimensional (3D) DE-CMR was performed with a respiratory-navigated (free-breathing) and electrocardiographically gated inversion-recovery gradient-echo sequence (voxel size 1.25 × 1.25 × 2.5 mm). Endocardium and epicardium were manually segmented to create a 3D reconstruction (DE-CMR model). A pixel signal intensity map was projected on the DE-CMR model and color-coded (thresholds 40 ± 5% and 60 ± 5% of maximum intensity). The DE-CMR model was imported into the navigation system to guide the ablation of CMR gaps, with the operator blinded to electrical data. Fifteen conventional procedures were used as controls to compare procedural duration, radiofrequency, and fluoroscopy times. Results Fifteen patients (56 pulmonary veins PVs; 57 ± 8 years of age; 9 with paroxysmal AF) were analyzed. In total, 67 CMR gaps were identified around PVs (mean 4.47 gaps/patient; median length 13.33 mm/gap) and 9 at roof line. All of the electrically reconnected PVs (87.5%) had CMR gaps. The site of electrical PV reconnection (assessed by circular mapping catheter) matched with a CMR gap in 79% of PVs. CMR-guided ablation led to reisolation of 95.6% of reconnected PVs (median radiofrequency time of 13.3 interquartile range: 7.5 to 21.7 min/patient) and conduction block through the roof line in all patients (1.4 interquartile range: 0.7 to 3.1 min/patient). Compared with controls, the CMR-guided approach shortened radiofrequency time (1,441 ± 915 s vs. 930 ± 662 s; p = 0.026) but not the procedural duration or fluoroscopy time. Conclusions DE-CMR can successfully guide repeated PVI procedures by accurately identifying and localizing gaps and may reduce procedural duration and radiofrequency application time.
