Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Circulation, 2007
▪ Abstract Atrial fibrillation is frequently disabling and resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs. Curative treatment by catheter-based ablation has been shown to be feasible either by achieving long linear lesions, mainly in the left atrium, or by targeting the initiating focus, most frequently in the pulmonary veins.

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.

The Indications for Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Український журнал серцево-судинної хірургії, 2022
Since the introduction of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), it developed from a specialized experimental procedure into a common treatment option to prevent recurrent AF. In recent years substantial improvement has been made in the equipment

Percutaneous or mini-invasive surgical radiofrequency re-ablation of atrial fibrillation: Impact on atrial function and echocardiographic predictors of short and long-term success

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare percutaneous catheter ablation vs. minimally invasive surgical ablation, evaluating the impact of repeated ablation on atrial function, and evaluating predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence ...

Catheter Ablation Approaches for the Treatment of Arrhythmia Recurrence in Patients with a Durable Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Balkan Medical Journal, 2023
Catheter ablation has emerged as an effective treatment for atrial arrhythmias, and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of ablation strategies.

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.

Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]

Circulation, 2004
Sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an important cause of morbidity and sudden death in patients with heart disease.1 Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) terminate VT episodes, reducing the risk of sudden death. Recurrent VT develops in 40% to 60% of patients who receive an ICD after an episode of spontaneous sustained VT.

Comparison between surgical and catheter based ablation in atrial fibrillation, should surgical based ablation be implemented as first line? - A meta-analysis of studies

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2020
Introduction: Ablation remains a modality of choice in select patients with Atrial fibrillation (AF). Which is done via a surgical or catheter-based approach.
