Predictors of the atrial fibrillation following catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter

Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2013
Background: Despite technical refinements and improved long-term efficacy of the ablation procedure for treating AFL (AFL), the subsequent occurrence of AF (AF) following this procedure remains a significant clinical problem.

Sex-Related Differences in Catheter Ablation for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2020
The coexistence of atrial fibrillation and heart failure significantly increases the risk of all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalizations. Sex-related differences in all patients undergoing atrial fibrillation catheter ablation include the ...

Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia After MI: A Reconstructed Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2023
Background: The prognostic impact of ventricular tachycardia (VT) catheter ablation is an important outstanding research question. We undertook a reconstructed individual patient data meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials comparing ablation to ...

Positioning of the ablation catheter in total endoscopic ablation [PDF]

Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2013
Minimally invasive ablation of atrial fibrillation is an option in patients not suitable for or refractory to catheter ablation. Total endoscopic ablation can be performed via a monolateral approach, whereby a left atrial box lesion is created. If the ablation is introduced from the right side, the positioning of the ablation catheter on the partly ...

Ultrasonic characterization of the pulmonary venous wall: echographic and histological correlation [PDF]

, 2002
Background: Pulmonary vein isolation with radiofrequency catheter ablation techniques is used to prevent recurrences of human atrial fibrillation. Visualization of the architecture at the venoatrial junction could be crucial for these ablative techniques.

Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Arrhythmias [PDF]

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2013
Catheter ablation has emerged as an important and effective treatment option for many recurrent ventricular arrhythmias. The approach to ablation and the risks and outcomes are largely determined by the nature of the severity and type of underlying heart disease.

Efficacy and safety of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in congenital heart disease – A systematic review and meta-analysis

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2019
Background: Prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is on the rise. Anti-arrhythmic drugs are usually the first line of treatment in CHD, however, it is often ineffective and poorly tolerated.
