Five‐Year Change in the Renal Function After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Although it has been reported that renal function can improve after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), long‐term changes in renal function and its relationship to rhythm outcomes have not yet been evaluated.

Effect of MRI-Guided Fibrosis Ablation vs Conventional Catheter Ablation on Atrial Arrhythmia Recurrence in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: The DECAAF II Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2022
Importance Ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a challenge. Left atrial fibrosis plays an important role in the pathophysiology of AF and has been associated with poor procedural outcomes.

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.
