Brief Summary

MIGAT will develop and transfer software tools to assist ablation therapy of cardiac arrhythmias. The scientific background and objectives of MIGAT differ between atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, because the knowledge on structure-function relationships and the definition of ablation targets are different. Hypothesis: The combination of body surface mapping and imaging will enable a comprehensive non-invasive assessment of cardiac arrhythmia mechanisms and localization, myocardial structural substrate, and cardiac anatomy, all of which should be of value to better define targets for ablation therapy. No software solution is currently available for multimodal data processing, fusion, and integration in 3-dimensional mapping systems to assist ablation. Because such a development requires a trans-disciplinary approach (cardiac electrophysiology, imaging, computer sciences), it is likely to emerge from an academic initiative. Objectives: MIGAT will gather resources from the Liryc Institute (L'Institut de Rythmologie et Modélisation Cardiaque), the Inria (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique) and the University Hospital of Bordeaux to develop a computer-based solution with high expected impact on the daily management of cardiac electrical disorders. The research program will benefit from the MUSIC (Magnetom Avanto, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) equipment recently funded as part of the "Investissement d'Avenir" program, and combining state-of-the-art electrophysiology and magnetic resonance imaging technology. MIGAT will involve software engineers, computer science researchers, cardiologists, radiologists and clinical research personnel with the following objectives:

  • Development of a multimodal data processing software to assist cardiac ablation
  • Optimization and Validation of the software in terms of user experience
  • Optimization and Validation of the software in terms of clinical performance
  • Optimization of software quality compatible with subsequent device certification and randomized-controlled evaluation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • To build MIGAT software

    It consists in integrating currently available research prototypes in MedInria software framework. Currently available functionalities will be translated into software specification, and implemented to build MIGAT software.

    28 months

  • To test MIGAT for real-time guidance during cardiac ablation procedures.

    To get feedback from clinical data in terms of user experience and accuracy of non-invasive predictions. Radiologists and cardiologists will acquire, process and integrate non-invasive data during 100 cardiac ablation procedures.

    28 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • To improve the compatibility of MIGAT with daily clinical use

    28 months

  • Correlations between MIGAT predictions from non-invasive data, and ablation targets observed during invasive procedures

Interventions

Depending on potential contra-indications to iodine-enhanced computed tomography. It will be performed using the usual method on a 64-slice dual energy scanner. Data will be acquired after the injection of 120 mL iodine contrast media. Contrast will be injected at the rate of 4 mL/s without additional saline flush in order to obtain homogeneous enhancement of the 4 cardiac chambers, there by simplifying subsequent segmentation. The objective will be to obtain a 3-dimensional imaging of cardiac structures

Ventricular arrhythmias

Depending on potential contra-indications to gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance. It will be performed on the 1.5 Tesla clinical device associated to MUSIC equipment (Magnetom Avanto, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). Myocardial fibrosis will be imaged using a free-breathing delayed-enhancement method initially developed for atrial imaging. The method uses a 3-dimensional, inversion recovery-prepared, ECG-gated and respiratory-navigated Turbo Fast Low Angle Shot sequence with fat saturation. Acquisition will be initiated 15 minutes after the injection of a double-dose of gadolinium-based contrast media.

Persistent atrial fibrillationVentricular arrhythmias

Only in patients with a contra-indication to magnetic resonance imaging. It will be performed on a PET/CT 600 device. Acquisition will be preceded by a standard metabolic preparation for 18 fluoro-deoxy-glucose viability imaging. The objective will be to obtain a 3-dimensional imaging of ventricular scar.

Ventricular arrhythmias

It will be obtained using a 252-electrode vest. The position of each electrode with respect to epicardium will be assessed at multi-detector computed tomography prior to mapping. In patients referred for ventricular arrhythmia, body surface mapping will aim at recording the clinical arrhythmia whenever possible. In patients referred for atrial arrhythmia, body surface mapping will aim at recording atrial fibrillation.

Persistent atrial fibrillationVentricular arrhythmias

Ventricular procedures will be performed endocardially using trans-septal or retro-aortic approach, potentially combined with sub-xiphoid epicardial access. Atrial procedures will be performed endocardially using trans-septal approach to access the left atrium. Bi-atrial bipolar contact mapping will be performed at high density during atrial fibrillation prior to ablation.
