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]
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 ...

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

**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.

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

Spectral Distribution Complexity of the Surface Fibrillatory Waves Predicts Post-Catheter Ablation Relapse in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
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
Aims Catheter ablation is considered the treatment of choice for many tachyarrhythmias, but convincing ‘real-world’ data on efficacy and safety are lacking.

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
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.
