Anesthesia for Catheter Ablation Procedures

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2014
Over 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 ...

Catheter Ablation of Atrial Flutter

The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1999
Typical 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, 2009
Atrial 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 Atrial Fibrillation

Medical Clinics of North America, 2008
Atrial 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, as well as a high recurrence rate. Catheter ablation or modification of the atrio-ventricular node with pacemaker implantation provides rate control

Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Fibrillation

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2019
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a common and life-threatening arrhythmia resulting in sudden cardiac death (SCD). Due to the inherent challenges of mapping VF in humans, the underlying mechanisms that initiate and sustain this common arrhythmia are still poorly understood.

Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2003
Most patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) associated with structural heart disease should receive an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator as initial therapy. Patients with symptomatic recurrences of tachycardia, including those with multiple defibrillator shocks, are considered for ablation.

Catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia

Internal Medicine Journal, 2010
AbstractSudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias remains the most common cause of death in developed nations. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators have been shown to improve mortality in high‐risk groups for ventricular tachyarrhythmias, but they are not curative, with the risk of arrhythmia recurrence remaining unaltered.

Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias

New England Journal of Medicine, 2019
Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia involves identifying the mechanism (a focus with abnormal impulse formation or a reentrant circuit), mappin...

Catheter ablation in the year 2000

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2000
After its introduction in 1987, radiofrequency catheter ablation became established as a safe and effective therapy for the cure of many cardiac arrhythmias in people. The possibility of assessing the relationship between the anatomical target and the electrophysiologic changes produced by radiofrequency pulse delivery has also provided significant ...

Catheter Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias

Medical Clinics of North America, 2001
The safety and efficacy of catheter ablation for treatment of most types of cardiac arrhythmias are well established. These arrhythmias and arrhythmia substrates include AVNRT, accessory pathways, focal atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, idiopathic ventricular tachycardia, and bundle-branch re-entry.
