We sought to determine whether left atrial (LA) wall thickness (LAWT) and pulmonary vein (PV) dimensions, as assessed by cardiac CT, could influence the success rate of first-pass pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). In a single-center, prospective study, we enrolled consecutive patients with symptomatic, drug-refractory AF who underwent initial radiofrequency catheter ablation using a modified CLOSE protocol. Pre-procedural CT was performed in all cases. Additionally, the diameter and area of the PV orifices were obtained. A total of 1034 LAWT measurements and 376 PV area measurements were performed in 94 patients (mean CHA2DS2-VASc score 2.1 ± 1.5, mean age 62.4 ± 12.6 years, 39.5% female, 38.3% persistent AF). Mean procedure time was 81.2 ± 19.3 min. Complete isolation of all PVs was achieved in 100% of patients. First-pass isolation rate was 76% and 71% for the right-sided PVs and the left-sided PVs, respectively. No difference was found regarding comorbidities and imaging parameters between those with and without first-pass isolation. LAWT (mean of 11 regions or separately) had no effect on the acute procedural outcome on logistic regression analysis (all p ≥ 0.05). Out of all assessed parameters, only RSPV diameter was associated with a higher rate of successful right-sided first pass isolation (OR 1.01, p = 0.04). Left atrial wall thickness does not have an influence on the acute procedural success of PVI using ablation index and a standardized ablation protocol. RSPV diameter could influence the probability of right sided first-pass isolation.
