Radiation therapy of a patient with implantable cardioverter defibrillator [PDF]

, 2015
A number of patients who require radiation therapy may suffer from different comorbidities. Cardiac rhythm disturbances represent a comorbidity which in terms may require the implantation of a permanent pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter ...

Ventricular tachyarrhythmias and implantable cardioverter–defibrillator

, 2018
Few scenarios in intensive coronary care are commonly associated with as much fear and apprehension as the event of a ventricular tachyarrhythmia. This chapter provides information to help successfully manage such situations.

Clinical Outcomes After Catheter Ablation in Patients With Structural Heart Disease and Ventricular Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), recurrent VF may be treated with catheter ablation by targeting triggering premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and/or ventricular scar homogenization. Data on optimal ablation strategies in patients with non‐ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) remain limited.

Chronic posttraumatic stress and its predictors in patients living with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator

, 2011
Patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) show clinically relevant depression and anxiety, but little is known about their levels of posttraumatic stress.

First United States Experience With Focal Pulsed‐Field Ablation Using the FARAPOINT Catheter for Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) after failed radiofrequency (RF) ablation remains a clinical challenge. Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is expanding to ventricular applications, but United States experience with focal pulsed‐field‐only catheters in VT is sparse, and pulsed‐field platforms are not equivalent across ...

Impact of coils and fixation mechanism on implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead extraction

, 2014
Background: Percutaneous removal of implantable defibrillator (ICD) leads remains a difficult procedure, despite the fact that extraction techniques have been improved and advances in lead technology have been made in order to reduce fibrous tissue ...

A completely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator system functioning simultaneously with an endocardial implantable cardioverter defibrillator programmed as pacemaker

, 2010
Because of multiple ventricular lead fractures with inappropriate shocks, a 31-year-old male received a completely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) system with the already existing 'endocardial' ICD functioning as an atrial ...

Feasibility, Safety, and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Ventricular Arrhythmias: Insights From a Large Health System Registry in the United States

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging non‐thermal ablation modality with proven safety in atrial arrhythmia ablation. However, data on its performance for ventricular arrhythmias (VA) remain limited. Objective To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of PFA for complex VA in a multicenter real‐world US registry ...

Validation of Cardiorespiratory‐Gated Proton Beam Delivery for Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) with scanned proton beams was performed in a porcine model targeting the left ventricular free wall (A). Dual gating synchronized proton delivery with both respiratory and cardiac motion was compared to single gating using only respiratory motion (B).
