Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1991
Catheter ablation is gaining increasing interest for the therapy of symptomatic, sustained arrhythmias of various origins. The scope of this review is to give an overview of the biophysical aspects and major characteristics of some of the most widely used energy sources in catheter ablation, e.g., the discharge of conventional defibrillators, modified

Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Heart Failure Clinics, 2014Strategies and technology related to catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) continue to advance since its inception nearly 20 years ago. Broader selections of patients are now offered ablation with a similar level of procedural outcome and safety standards.

AIMS The optimal treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) has been a subject of debate for years. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rhythm control strategy in patients with AF complicated with HF regarding

Catheter Ablation of Atrial Flutter
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1999Typical atrial flutter in humans is the consequence of a stable macro-reentrant circuit produced by the unique right atrial architecture providing anatomic barriers and functional blocks to conduction. Mapping studies have indicated that the so-called isthmus between the inferior aspect of the tricuspid annulus and the ostium of the inferior caval vein

Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Cardiology Clinics, 2009Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia associated with significant morbidity, including angina, heart failure, and stroke. Medical therapy remains suboptimal, with significant side effects and toxicities, and a high recurrence rate. Catheter ablation or modification of the atrioventricular node with pacemaker implantation provides rate-control but ...

Catheter Ablation of Arrhythmias
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1984The ability to localize the sites of origin of arrhythmias or those sites critical to their maintenance or their life-threatening consequences has provided the potential for ablating these arrhythmias by delivering shocks through catheters at these critical sites.

CATHETER ABLATION OF ACCESSORY PATHWAYS
Cardiology Clinics, 1997Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a highly effective, curative treatment for arrhythmias related to accessory atrioventricular connections. Compared with medical therapy, ablation is more definitive, is more cost-effective, and is associated with a lower risk of proarrhythmia.

Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Annual Review of Medicine, 2000▪ 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.

Anesthesia for Catheter Ablation Procedures
Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2014Over the past decade, the role of the anesthesiologist has evolved continuously into a sine qua non component of the EP team, having intimate knowledge of the complex interventional procedures and the specific demands of the EP environment. With emphasis on coordination of care, resource optimization, and implementation of a climate of teamwork and ...

Besides antiarrhythmic medication, there are now very good options for a potentially curative therapy by catheter ablation targeting the origin of the underlying arrhythmias in patients with complex congenital heart disease. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of tomographic imaging (MRI or computed tomography) is helpful to understand the underlying
