Shortness of breath after AV ablation: case of left phrenic nerve palsy [PDF]

, 2013
Phrenic nerve palsy has been recognized as a complication of catheter ablation with a prevalence of 0.11–0.48% after atrial fibrillation ablation, independent of the type of ablation catheter or energy source, likely due to the anatomical ...

Catheter Ablation for Brugada Syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management, 2020
We report a case of catheter ablation of Brugada syndrome in a patient with refractory ventricular fibrillation despite quinidine therapy. We performed epicardial substrate mapping, which identified an area of abnormal fractionated, prolonged electrogram in the anterior right ventricular outflow tract.

Translational Considerations for Injectable Biomaterials and Bioscaffolds to Repair and Regenerate Brain Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...

Epicardial Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia with Manual Controlled External Irrigation in a Patient with Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2009
We describe a patient with nonischemic cardiomyopathy who underwent radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation for a drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). RF ablation from a left ventricular (LV) endocardial site failed to eliminate the VT.

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.

Ethanol Infusion of Vein of Marshall for the Treatment of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: The Basics and Clinical Practice

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) is particularly challenging, as the clinical outcomes are modest. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) plus linear ablation is one of the main strategies for PeAF ablation.

Temporally Delayed Deployment of Photo‐Responsive Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks Toward Neural Interfaces

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Deployable medical devices typically need external stimuli to trigger deployment. However, external stimuli are difficult to supply within tissues. Here, we describe a strategy to deploy small‐scale structures into soft tissues after insertion without the need for any stimulus. We demonstrate deployment within a tissue phantom.
