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

Treatment of a contained rupture of a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm with direct thrombin injection

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques
Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare and potentially fatal condition. In the present report, we describe the case of a 50-year-old woman with chronic pancreatitis who presented with worsening abdominal pain.

Balloon assisted, ultrasound guided percutaneous thrombin injection of a large radial artery pseudoaneurysm using a trans-venous approach via an Ipsilateral Arteriovenous Fistula

CVIR Endovascular, 2021
Background Pseudoaneurysm formation is known to complicate arteriovenous haemodialysis access. Ultrasound guided thrombin injection is a recognised treatment option, but is not possible in pseudoaneurysms with no measurable neck.

Life-threatening Rupture of a Femoral Pseudoaneurysm after Cardiac Catheterization

Open Cardiovascular Medicine Journal, 2016
A pseudoaneurysm refers to a defect in the arterial wall, allowing communication of arterial blood with the adjacent extra-luminal space. Pseudoaneurysms result from traumatic arterial injury.

Impact of Immunosuppressive Drugs on Patients With Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) reduces the risk of thromboembolic stroke in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation who cannot tolerate long‐term oral anticoagulation. However, outcomes after LAAC in patients requiring chronic immunosuppressive therapy (IMS) remain unknown. This study aimed to investigate

Pseudoaneurysm and hemobilia in a neonate

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2013
AbstractHemobilia, arterial-biliary fistula, and pseudoaneurysm are rare complications of percutaneous liver biopsy in a neonate. We present the management of persistent hemobilia in a previously premature 2877 g neonate. Despite the ongoing correction of coagulation parameters and multiple large volume transfusions our patient's hemobilia persisted ...

Successful Treatment of Iatrogenic Subclavian Artery Pseudoaneurysm by Ultrasound-Guided Thrombin Injection.

Annals of Vascular Diseases, 2016
Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection has been well described as a safe and effective treatment for pseudoaneurysms of the femoral artery. However, cases for subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm are rare.

Outcomes of Non‐Paroxysmal AF Undergoing Ablation Guided by a Novel High‐Density Panoramic Cycle‐Length Mapping System

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Catheter ablation is a current therapeutic approach for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the efficacy for non‐paroxysmal AF remains suboptimal. Objective We hypothesize that the novel panoramic cycle‐length mapping (CLM) system can guide the pulmonary vein (PV) isolation and additional potential AF drivers.
