Résumé

Background: Lamin A/C (LMNA) cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease with a proclivity for ventricular arrhythmias. We describe the multicenter experience with percutaneous catheter ablation of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in LMNA cardiomyopathy. Methods and results: Twenty-five consecutive LMNA mutation patients from 4 centers were included (mean age, 55±9 years; ejection fraction, 34±12%; VT storm in 36%). Complete atrioventricular block was present in 11 patients; 3 patients were on mechanical circulatory support for severe heart failure. A median of 3 VTs were inducible per patient; in 82%, mapping was consistent with origin from scar in the basal left ventricle, particularly the septum, but also basal inferior wall and subaortic mitral continuity. After multiple procedures (median 2/patient; transcoronary alcohol in 6 and surgical cryoablation in 2 patients), acute success (noninducibility of any VT) was achieved in only 25% of patients. Partial success (inducibility of a nonclinical VT only: 50%) and failure (persistent inducibility of clinical VT: 12.5%) was attributed to intramural septal substrate in 13 of 18 patients (72%). Complications occurred in 25% of patients. After a median follow-up of 7 months after the last procedure, 91% experienced ≥1 VT recurrence, 44% received or were awaiting mechanical circulatory support or transplant for end-stage heart failure, and 26% died. Conclusions: Catheter ablation of VT associated with LMNA cardiomyopathy is associated with poor outcomes including high rate of arrhythmia recurrence, progression to end-stage heart failure, and high mortality. Basal septal scar and intramural VT origin makes VT ablation challenging in this population.
