Catheter Ablation: Evolution and Efficiencies

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present review includes a discussion the goals and pitfalls of efficiency in the medical profession, a historical perspective on the evolution of catheter ablation in the field of electrophysiology (EP), and the data regarding the relationship between efficiency and outcomes in the EP lab. Focus on efficacy is critical to maximize resource

Characterization of AF Recurrence and Substrate Health by Electrographic Flow (EGF) Consistency in EGF Mapping

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Electrographic flow (EGF) mapping is an FDA 510(k)‐cleared method for visualizing atrial activation wavefronts in atrial fibrillation (AF). Its clinical efficacy in detecting AF sources was demonstrated in the FLOW‐AF randomized controlled trial, and the underlying machine learning strategy used to develop and refine EGF source ...

Anatomical Determinants of the Left Atrial Electrograms: Wall Thickness and Myocardial Fat Infiltration

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Electrogram peak‐to‐peak voltage depends on atrial wall structure and mapping configuration. We evaluated the relationship between computed tomography–derived atrial wall thickness, intramyocardial fat, myocardial muscle thickness, and electrogram voltage obtained with omnipolar, bipolar, and unipolar mapping.

Learning Curve of Pentaspline Pulsed‐Field Ablation With Posterior Wall Isolation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pentaspline pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a novel modality for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and posterior wall isolation (PWI) in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the learning curve associated with combined PVI + PWI and the contribution of anatomical factors to acute lesion completeness remain ...

Impact of Ganglionated Plexus Ablation on Early Recurrence After Thoracoscopic Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Post Hoc Analysis of the AFACT Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Adjunctive ganglionated plexus (GP) ablation did not reduce early AF recurrence after thoracoscopic AF ablation but was associated with a later first recurrence. In the GP‐ablation group, early recurrence was associated with late recurrence; this exploratory finding is compatible with, but does not establish, a greater contribution of pre‐existing ...

Catheter ablation for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. A review

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The higher mortality is due to the risk of heart failure and cardioembolic events.

Pulmonary Vein Isolation Alone Versus Adjunctive Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Clinical Outcomes of Pulmonary Vein Isolation Alone Versus Additional Lesion Sets in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the standard ablation strategy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Despite guideline recommendations favoring PVI alone in PAF, some operators routinely perform extra pulmonary ...

Interventional management of recurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation despite isolated pulmonary veins: impact of an ablation strategy targeting inducible atrial tachyarrhythmias [PDF]

, 2015
AIMS Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an effective treatment option for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Reconnection of pulmonary veins (PVs) is the predominant cause for recurrence of PAF.
