Summary

This study adopts a strategy combining basic research with clinical investigation to systematically explore the therapeutic value of cardioneuroablation in the treatment of vagally-mediated bradycardia. The study design fully considers the complexity of the scientific question and the feasibility of clinical translation. Through rigorous experimental design and standardized operational procedures, the reliability and reproducibility of the study results are ensured.

Conditions

  • Symptomatic Bradycardia
  • Autonomic Nervous System Diseases

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Cardioneuroablation

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with conventional sedation using 1-3 mg of midazolam. The decision to administer additional sedation is assessed based on the patient's level of consciousness. The femoral vein is punctured, and a sheath is placed. Through this femoral venous sheath, catheters are advanced via the right atrium to position electrodes in the coronary sinus and the right ventricle. Under the guidance of intracardiac echocardiography and fluoroscopy (X-ray), a transseptal puncture is performed. The ablation catheter is then introduced into the left atrium through the transseptal sheath to sequentially perform catheter ablation of the left atrial and, selectively, the right atrial ganglionated plexi.

PROCEDURE

Sham Control

Throughout the procedure, the patient continuously wears over-ear headphones playing music and an eye mask. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia with conventional sedation using 1-3 mg of midazolam. The decision to administer additional sedation is assessed based on the patient's level of consciousness. Preoperative preparation, femoral vein puncture, placement of electrode catheters, and the electrophysiological study protocol are the same as in the intervention group; however, no transseptal puncture, ganglion mapping, or catheter ablation is performed.
