Novel laparoscopic renal denervation immediately reduces atrial fibrillation inducibility : a swine model study

© 2023. The Author(s)..

Catheter-based approaches may have inherent limitations in achieving effective renal denervation (RDN) and treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of novel laparoscopic RDN on modulating AF inducibility using a swine model. Four and five swine were randomly allocated to the sham and RDN groups, respectively. Each swine underwent measurement of the atrial effective refractory period (AERP) and AF induction tests using burst atrial pacing before and immediately after sham or RDN procedures with and without vagal nerve stimulation (VNS). A laparoscopic RDN procedure circumferentially ablated the renal nerves round the renal arteries using radiofrequency energy. There was no significant difference in the baseline AERP between the two groups (p > 0.05). Under VNS, AERP was significantly increased by 20 ms after laparoscopic RDN (95% CI = 0-30, p = 0.004). Compared to the sham group, the RDN group showed significantly reduced AF inducibility [OR (95% CI) = 0.32 (0.13-0.76) and 0.24 (0.11-0.57) with and without VNS, respectively]. After laparoscopic RDN, the duration of inducible AF episodes was significantly shortened from 28 (10-77) s to 7 (3-11) s (p < 0.001). The novel laparoscopic RDN can immediately reduce AF inducibility in a swine model.
