Pulsed Field Versus Radiofrequency Ablation in Concomitant Pulmonary Vein Isolation and LAA Occlusion: Impact on Peridevice Leak and Procedural Efficiency

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Concomitant pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is increasingly performed in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) at elevated thromboembolic risk. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been the conventional approach, but pulsed field ablation (PFA) may reduce tissue edema, procedural duration, and

Electrophysiological evaluation of phrenic nerve injury during cardiac surgery – a prospective, controlled, clinical study

BMC Surgery, 2004
Background According to some reports, left hemidiaphragmatic paralysis due to phrenic nerve injury may occur following cardiac surgery. The purpose of this study was to document the effects on phrenic nerve injury of whole body hypothermia, use of ice ...

Successful transjugular extraction of a lead in front of the anterior scalene muscle by using snare technique

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2015
The incidence of cardiovascular implantable electronic device infection is increasing. We report a case of and successful device removal in a 79-year-old man with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator infection. Right phrenic nerve paralysis was evident

Impact of Curarization on Pentaspline Catheter Stability During Pulsed‐Field Pulmonary Vein Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is effective for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), but phrenic nerve stimulation during applications may induce diaphragmatic contractions and destabilize catheter positioning. This study evaluated whether neuromuscular blockade improves catheter stability.

Peripheral hyperstimulation alters site of disease onset and course in SOD1 rats

Neurobiology of Disease, 2010
In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the exogenous temporal triggers that result in initial motor neuron death are not understood. Overactivation and consequent accelerated loss of vulnerable motor neurons is one theory of disease initiation.

Characterisation of sleep apneas and respiratory circuitry in mice lacking CDKL5

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary CDKL5 deficiency disorder is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the CDKL5 gene. Central apneas during wakefulness have been reported in patients with CDKL5 deficiency disorder. Studies on CDKL5‐knockout mice, a CDKL5 deficiency disorder model, reported sleep apneas, but it is still unclear whether these events are central (central ...

Feasibility of transesophageal phrenic nerve stimulation

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2023
Background Every year, more than 2.5 million critically ill patients in the ICU are dependent on mechanical ventilation. The positive pressure in the lungs generated by the ventilator keeps the diaphragm passive, which can lead to a loss of myofibers ...

Myocardial and Neural Damage due to Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Comparison of Pulsed Electric Field and Thermal Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using thermal energy—radiofrequency (RF) or cryoablation (CRYO)—is associated with direct myocardial injury and collateral neural damage. In contrast, pulsed electric field (PEF) energy has emerged as a neural‐sparing alternative.

Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Obesity: Procedural and Clinical Outcomes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Procedural and clinical outcomes in patients with obesity undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) have been mixed. Clinical data in the context of pulsed field ablation (PFA) are currently limited in this patient cohort.
