Impact of general anesthesia on ablation catheter stability during pulmonary vein isolation based on a novel measurement approach

Scientific Reports, 2023
Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is performed under general anesthesia (GA) or conscious sedation (CS). GA during PVI may improve treatment outcomes by improving catheter stability.

3D/2D Registration of Mapping Catheter Images for Arrhythmia Interventional Assistance [PDF]

P. Fallavollita, " 3D/2D Registration of Mapping Catheter Images for Arrhythmia Interventional Assistance", International Journal of Computer Science Issues, IJCSI, Volume 4, Issue 2, pp10-19, September 2009", 2009
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has transformed treatment for tachyarrhythmias and has become first-line therapy for some tachycardias. The precise localization of the arrhythmogenic site and the positioning of the RF catheter over that site are problematic: they can impair the efficiency of the procedure and are time consuming (several hours ...

Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation Improves 1-Year Follow-Up Cognitive Function, Especially in Patients With Impaired Cognitive Function.

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2019
BACKGROUND Although atrial fibrillation (AF) has a risk of cognitive dysfunction, it is not clear whether AF catheter ablation improves or worsens cognitive function.

The Effects of Catheter Ablation Therapy on Medication Use and Expenditures in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Health Economics and Outcomes Research, 2014
**Background:** Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Catheter ablation has become an important treatment option for many AF patients.

Incidence of complications related to catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter: a nationwide in-hospital analysis of administrative data for Germany in 2014

European Heart Journal, 2018
Aims Risks of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and flutter assessed in retrospective studies, registries, and controlled trials may underestimate ‘real world’ conditions.

Foreign movement in one’s own body: Patients’ experiences of being awake while treated with catheter ablation—a phenomenological study

International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health & Well-Being, 2023
Purpose To address the consequences of living with supraventricular tachycardia and to improve the quality of treatment, there is a need to highlight patient experiences of treatment with catheter ablation.

Spectral Distribution Complexity of the Surface Fibrillatory Waves Predicts Post-Catheter Ablation Relapse in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Computing in Cardiology 2022; Vol 49
As for most of cardiac arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation (AF) is primarily treated by catheter ablation (CA). However, the mid-term recurrence rate of this procedure in persistent AF patients is still limited and the preoperative prediction of its outcome is clinically interesting to select candidates who could benefit the most from the intervention ...

A decade of catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias in Sweden: ablation practices and outcomes

European Heart Journal, 2018
Aims Catheter ablation is considered the treatment of choice for many tachyarrhythmias, but convincing ‘real-world’ data on efficacy and safety are lacking.

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.

Prognostic impact of catheter ablation in patients with asymptomatic atrial fibrillation

PLoS ONE, 2022
Background Catheter ablation for asymptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to explore the prognostic impact of catheter ablation in asymptomatic AF patients.
