Cryoablation in persistent atrial fibrillation – a critical appraisal [PDF]

Netherlands Heart Journal, 2016
Ablation of atrial fibrillation is an established treatment for the management of patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation. The complex pathophysiology of persistent atrial fibrillation has fuelled the concept of adjunctive substrate modification on top of pulmonary vein isolation.

Pre‐Existing and New‐Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). In addition, new‐onset AF can occur after TAVI. However, data on how AF affects outcomes in patients undergoing TAVI remain conflicting.

Long-term outcomes of cryoballoon-based left atrial appendage isolation in addition to pulmonary vein isolation in persistent atrial fibrillation

, 2019
Aims Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is not as successful as in paroxysmal AF, and recent data indicate the key role of non-PV triggers.

Ablation of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2017
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in the clinical setting affecting nearly 6 million people in United States and the numbers are only expected to rise as the population continues to age. Broadly it is classified into paroxysmal, persistent and longstanding persistent AF. Electrical, structural and autonomic remodeling

Influence of the Residual Gensini Score on Prognosis of Patients With ST‐Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The residual Gensini score (rGS) was developed to quantify the severity of coronary atheroma burden after coronary revascularisation. The predictive value of the rGS for clinical outcomes in patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unexplored.

Clinical and Echocardiographic Outcomes After Implantation of the ALLEGRA Transcatheter Valve Using the Fully Repositionable IMPERIA Delivery System: One‐Year Results of the EMPIRE I Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The EMPIRE I study assessed the early (30 days) safety and efficacy of a new fully repositionable delivery system (IMPERIA) for the commercially available ALLEGRA transcatheter aortic valve in patients with either severe native aortic stenosis or a degenerated surgical bioprosthesis.

Presenting Pattern of Atrial Fibrillation and Outcomes of Early Rhythm Control Therapy

, 2022
BACKGROUND: Whether atrial fibrillation (AF) pattern or timing of AF therapy modifies the effectiveness of early rhythm control (ERC) is not known.OBJECTIVES: This study sought to compare clinical characteristics and outcomes in patients presenting with ...

The serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 level is an independent predictor of recurrence after ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation

Clinics, 2016
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether the serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 level is an independent predictor of recurrence after catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. METHODS: Fifty-eight consecutive patients with persistent atrial

Profibrotic pathways and atrial cardiomyopathy in persistent atrial fibrillation

Clinics, 2016
I enjoyed reading the interesting article by Wu et al. 1, in which the authors demonstrated a significant relationship between matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, a profibrotic and proinflammatory molecule, and recurrence of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation. The authors also reported that left atrial (LA) diameter and a history

Nine‐Year Follow‐Up After M‐TEER for Secondary Mitral Regurgitation in a Patient With Cardiogenic Shock

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (TEER) has become an established therapeutic option for patients with severe secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). While randomized trials and registry data have reported outcomes up to 5 years, longer follow‐up data remain scarce.
