Catheter Ablation for Brugada Syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management, 2020
We report a case of catheter ablation of Brugada syndrome in a patient with refractory ventricular fibrillation despite quinidine therapy. We performed epicardial substrate mapping, which identified an area of abnormal fractionated, prolonged electrogram in the anterior right ventricular outflow tract.

Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2012
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically important cardiac arrhythmia. It is an important cause of stroke, contributes to the burden of heart failure and is a major contributor to health expenditure. Percutaneous catheter ablation is superior to medical therapy in reducing AF recurrences.

Feasibility and safety of interventional electrophysiology and catheter ablation in the South African public sector: Challenges and opportunities for comprehensive cardiac electrophysiology in South Africa

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2022
Aims The spectrum and outcomes of catheter ablation procedures performed in South Africa are unknown, and therefore, the feasibility of interventional electrophysiology in the South African public sector is undetermined.

Cryoablation to improve catheter stability and ablation success in the right atrioventricular groove

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2021
Catheter instability can limit ablation success of arrhythmia substrates at the right atrioventricular groove. We describe cases where cryoablation improved catheter stability, enabling ablation success.

Efficacy and Safety of Catheter Ablation Combined with Left Atrial Appendage Closure in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2022
Background: Catheter ablation combined with left atrial appendage closure is effective in treating atrial fibrillation. However, the effectiveness of this combined treatment compared with catheter ablation alone is still controversial.
