Epicardial Ablation: Prevention of Phrenic Nerve Damage by Pericardial Injection of Saline and the Use of a Steerable Sheath

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
Because of the close proximity of the phrenic nerve to the pericardium, phrenic nerve damage caused by epicardial ablation can easily occur. We report two cases of epicardial VT ablation where pericardial injection of saline, combined with the use of a ...

Phrenic and intercostal nerves with rhythmic discharge can promote early nerve regeneration after brachial plexus repair in rats

Neural Regeneration Research, 2018
Exogenous discharge can positively promote nerve repair. We, therefore, hypothesized that endogenous discharges may have similar effects. The phrenic nerve and intercostal nerve, controlled by the respiratory center, can emit regular nerve impulses ...

Is Innervation of the Neuromuscular Junction at the Diaphragm Modulated by sGC/cGMP Signaling?

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
We previously reported NO/sGC signaling in the upper respiratory pathway, receiving input from the respiratory neurons of the brainstem to phrenic motoneurons in the C3–C6 spinal cord. In order to assess whether innervation of the neuromuscular junction (

Phrenic nerve conduction study in the early stage of guillain–barre syndrome as a predictor of respiratory failure

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2018
Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has unpredictable clinical course with severe complication of respiratory failure. Objective: To identify clinical profiles and electrophysiological study particularly non-invasive Phrenic nerve conduction study ...

Bilateral Phrenic Nerve Block For the Treatment of Intractable Hiccup in a Palliative Care Patient: A Case Report

, 2019
Hiccup is the characteristic voice caused by the sudden closure of the glottis during the contraction of the muscles of respiration especially diaphragm. It usually ends spontaneously in a short time.

The Mid-Term Changes of Pulmonary Function Tests After Phrenic Nerve Transfer

Archives of Trauma Research, 2016
Background In the restoration of elbow flexion, the phrenic nerve has proven to be a good donor, but considering the role of the phrenic nerve in respiratory function, we cannot disregard the potential dangers of this method.
