Inflammatory and Myocardial Biomarker Response Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Cryoballoon Versus Balloon‐in‐Basket Pulsed Field Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cryoballoon ablation (CB) is a well‐established thermal technique for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), while balloon‐in‐basket pulsed field ablation (BiB‐PFA) represents a novel non‐thermal alternative. Both single‐shot systems may trigger systemic inflammation and myocardial injury, yet direct comparisons are lacking.

A toy model of fractal glioma development under RF electric field treatment

, 2012
A toy model for glioma treatment by a radio frequency electric field is suggested. This low-intensity, intermediate-frequency alternating electric field is known as the tumor-treating-field (TTF). In the framework of this model the efficiency of this TTF

Acute Efficacy of Pulsed‐Field Ablation of the Mitral Isthmus Using a Pentaspline Catheter and Two Different Ablation Settings

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction There is limited data regarding the use of pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) for mitral isthmus (MI) ablation in patients with non‐paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Our aim was to assess the acute efficacy of MI ablation using a pentaspline PFA catheter with two different ablation settings.

Impact of Pulsed Field Ablation Dosing on Outcome After Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using a Pentaspline Ablation Catheter: A Prospective Comparison of 8 Versus 16 Applications

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel, non‐thermal ablation modality to achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). For the pentaspline catheter, eight applications per pulmonary vein (PV) are considered standard, with four in basket configuration and four in flower configuration.

Autonomic Profile Changes after Pulsed‐Field versus Thermal Ablation in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Catheter ablation is an established therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF), with thermal ablation as a standard modality. Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is a nonthermal alternative that selectively ablates myocardium while sparing collateral tissue. Its comparative autonomic impact relative to thermal ablation remains unclear.

Anesthetic Management During Irreversible Electroporation Procedures

, 2017
Irreversible electroporation (IRE) has evolved as a promising technique for tumor ablation. High-voltage electrical field pulses generated between electrodes surrounding the tumor induce cell death by permanently increasing the cell membrane permeability.
