High-resolution mapping and ablation of recurrent left lateral accessory pathway conduction

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2017
Proper localization of the anatomical target during ablation of the accessory pathways (AP) and the ability to detect clear AP potentials on the ablation catheter are crucial for successful AP ablation.

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Stent-based and catheter-based endobiliary radiofrequency ablation for malignant biliary obstruction: an ex-vivo comparative study

Scientific Reports
Endobiliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is used as an adjunct therapy to improve local tumor control and stent patency; however, catheter-based RFA may result in non-uniform ablation in curved or tortuous ducts because of incomplete electrode–wall ...

Catheter Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation: Recent Advances

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the leading cause of arrhythmia-related morbidity and mortality. Recurrent symptoms, hospitalizations, and cost burden to patients have necessitated treatments beyond antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) for patients with AF.
