Longstanding Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: How Do You Perform It?

Journal of Cardiac Arrhythmias, 2020
Longstanding-persistent atrial fibrillation is one of the most challenging arrhythmias to treat. While radiofrequency catheter ablation is highly effective in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, pulmonary vein antral isolation (including posterior wall ...

Comparison between First- and Second-Generation Cryoballoon for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2016
Introduction. Cryoballoon (CB) ablation has emerged as a novel treatment for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

The Subtle Journey of a Right Atrial Lead

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
We report an unusual case of subacute right atrial perforation by a screw-in pacemaker lead that migrated into the right lung causing hemopneumothorax 2 weeks after the procedure. After transvenous simple manual traction and minithoracotomy repair of the

Gelatin Methacryloyl Bioadhesive Improves Survival and Reduces Scar Burden in a Mouse Model of Myocardial Infarction

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Delivery of hydrogels to the heart is a promising strategy for mitigating the detrimental impact of myocardial infarction (MI). Challenges associated with the in vivo delivery of currently available hydrogels have limited clinical translation ...

Acute Pericardial Effusion After Vein of Marshall Ethanol Infusion for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia
Background Vein of Marshall ethanol infusion (VOM‐EI) is associated with a higher incidence of pericardial effusion (PE). However, few studies have provided detailed explorations of acute PE following VOM‐EI.

Cryoballoon Catheter Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2011
Pulmonary vein isolation with catheter ablation is an effective treatment in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation refractory or intolerant to antiarrhythmic medications. The cryoballoon catheter was recently approved for this procedure.

The predictive value of pan-immune inflammatory index for early recurrence of atrial fibrillation after cryoablation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Objective The pan-immune inflammatory (PIV) index holds prognostic value for cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the PIV index regarding recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryoballoon ablation (CBA).

High Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation After Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source in Posterior Cerebral Artery Territory

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundSubclinical atrial fibrillation is one possible cause of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). It remains to be elucidated if a specific infarction site has a predictive value for detecting subclinical atrial fibrillation.

A Novel SCN5A Mutation in a Patient with Coexistence of Brugada Syndrome Traits and Ischaemic Heart Disease

Case Reports in Medicine, 2009
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a primary electrical heart disease, which can lead to sudden cardiac death. In older patients with BrS, the disease may coexist with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and recent studies support a synergistic proarrhythmic effect of ...
