Short and Intermediate Term Outcomes of the Convergent Procedure: Initial Experience in a Tertiary Referral Center [PDF]
, 2020 PURPOSE: The Convergent procedure is a hybrid, multidisciplinary treatment for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) consisting of minimally invasive surgical epicardial ablation and percutaneous/catheter endocardial ablation.

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.

Catheter Ablation for the Management of Atrial Fibrillation: An Update of the Literature
Life, 2023 Catheter ablation has been shown to be more effective at maintaining sinus rhythm and improving quality of life when compared to antiarrhythmic drugs. Radiofrequency and cryoablation are two effective methods.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2020 Importance Catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) has limited success. Procedural strategies beyond pulmonary vein isolation have failed to consistently improve results. The vein of Marshall contains innervation and AF triggers that can

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]
, 2013 Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.

The contribution of intracardiac echocardiography in catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias [PDF]
Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Catheter ablation is a well-established treatment option for patients with ventricular arrhythmias. Recent advances in various imaging modalities, including three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping systems, magnetic resonance imaging, transesophageal

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2020 Importance Renal denervation can reduce cardiac sympathetic activity that may result in an antiarrhythmic effect on atrial fibrillation. Objective To determine whether renal denervation when added to pulmonary vein isolation enhances long-term ...

Detecting and monitoring arrhythmia recurrence following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. [PDF]
, 2015 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia prompting clinical presentation, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence and prevalence of this arrhythmia is expected to grow significantly in the coming decades.

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.
