Phrenic nerve injury after blunt trauma

, 2005
Phrenic nerve injury resulting from blunt trauma is unusual and may closely mimic diaphragmatic rupture. Diagnosis remains difficult and is often delayed. A prompt diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion.

Zero‐Fluoroscopy Ablation Methods for Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central illustration. Schematic comparison of conventional fluoroscopy guided ablation (left) and zero fluoroscopy ablation (right), enabled by electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac echocardiography for catheter navigation without X ray. The study selection process is summarized (133 records identified; 12 studies included, total n = 1998 ...

Navigating the Zero Fluoroscopy Frontier: Current Tools, Evidence and Future Directions in Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to

Reinnervation of the diaphragm by the inferior laryngeal nerve to the phrenic nerve in ventilator-dependent tetraplegic patients with C3-5 damage

ERJ Open Research, 2017
The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of unilateral diaphragmatic reinnervation in humans by the inferior laryngeal nerve. This pilot study included chronically ventilated tetraplegic patients with destruction of phrenic nerve motoneurons.

Stimulation of phrenic nerve activity by salicylate

, 1979
To assess the possibility that salicylate stimulates VE by direct excitation of phrenic motoneurons, we compared two groups of anesthetized vagotomized dogs with respect to increases in phrenic nerve activity elicited by a large dose of sodium ...

Cryoballoon Versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Trials

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone achieves modest arrhythmia freedom in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF). Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) offers a single‐shot alternative to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) that streamlines procedural workflow.

Impact of ICD Presence in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices for End‐Stage Heart Failure

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The prognostic relevance of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in patients with end‐stage heart failure (HF) with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) remains controversial. Objectives To evaluate the prognostic impact of ongoing use of ICD and associated complications in HF‐patients with LVAD‐implantation.

Respiratory and bulbar dysfunctions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: electrophysiologic and muscle ultrasound assessment

The Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery
Background The main causes of death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are respiratory and bulbar dysfunctions. Phrenic nerve conduction studies and diaphragm ultrasound can be used to assess the diaphragmatic function which is the primary muscle of ...
