Improving Catheter Segmentation & Localization in 3D Cardiac Ultrasound Using Direction-Fused FCN [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Fast and accurate catheter detection in cardiac catheterization using harmless 3D ultrasound (US) can improve the efficiency and outcome of the intervention. However, the low image quality of US requires extra training for sonographers to localize the catheter.

Biomimetic Glycosaminoglycan‐Analog Hydrogel for Improved Embolization of Aneurysms: Environment‐Selective Swelling

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Biomimetic glycosaminoglycan analog hydrogels exhibit suitable and robust mechanical properties, as well as hemocompatibility and biocompatibility, making them ideal for the embolization of intracranial aneurysms. Notably, the hydrogel's environment‐selective swelling properties enable complete blockage of the aneurysm cavity while preventing ...

Catheter ablation of epicardial ventricular tachycardia

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, 2014
Ventricular tachycardias (VTs) can usually be treated by endocardial catheter ablation. However, some VTs can arise from the epicardial surface, and their substrate can be altered only by epicardial catheter ablation.

Impact of general anesthesia on ablation catheter stability during pulmonary vein isolation based on a novel measurement approach

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is performed under general anesthesia (GA) or conscious sedation (CS). GA during PVI may improve treatment outcomes by improving catheter stability.

3D/2D Registration of Mapping Catheter Images for Arrhythmia Interventional Assistance [PDF]

open access: yesP. Fallavollita, " 3D/2D Registration of Mapping Catheter Images for Arrhythmia Interventional Assistance", International Journal of Computer Science Issues, IJCSI, Volume 4, Issue 2, pp10-19, September 2009", 2009
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has transformed treatment for tachyarrhythmias and has become first-line therapy for some tachycardias. The precise localization of the arrhythmogenic site and the positioning of the RF catheter over that site are problematic: they can impair the efficiency of the procedure and are time consuming (several hours ...

Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation Improves 1-Year Follow-Up Cognitive Function, Especially in Patients With Impaired Cognitive Function.

open access: yesCirculation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2019
BACKGROUND Although atrial fibrillation (AF) has a risk of cognitive dysfunction, it is not clear whether AF catheter ablation improves or worsens cognitive function.

Motor‐Free Soft Robots for Cancer Detection, Surgery, and In Situ Bioprinting

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Novel motor‐free soft robots for cancer detection, surgery, and in situ bioprinting–are presented. This master‐slave system is constructed from soft fibrous syringe architectures, removing the need for electrical motors and complex control mechanisms, while reducing the physical tremors.

Non‐Surgical, In‐Stent Membrane Bioelectronics for Long‐Term Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This image shows a sequence of long‐term intracranial pressure monitoring using non‐surgical, in‐stent membrane bioelectronics. Abstract Traditional intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring methods, using intraventricular catheters, face significant limitations, including high invasiveness, discrete data, calibration complexities, and drift issues, which

Foreign movement in one’s own body: Patients’ experiences of being awake while treated with catheter ablation—a phenomenological study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health & Well-Being, 2023
Purpose To address the consequences of living with supraventricular tachycardia and to improve the quality of treatment, there is a need to highlight patient experiences of treatment with catheter ablation.
