Isolation of atrial fibrillation to a pulmonary vein [PDF]

Europace, 2003
This is a 37-year-old woman with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) for 1.5 years. She has had symptomatic recurrences (palpitations and syncope) despite flecainide ± beta blockers and sotalol. An electrophysiological study elsewhere found AF initiated by atrial tachyarrhythmias originating …

Pulmonary vein isolation alone versus pulmonary vein isolation with additional extensive ablation for paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2022
Background The value of additional ablation beyond pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is unclear, especially for persistent AF.

Usefulness of filtered unipolar electrogram morphology for evaluating transmurality of ablated lesions during pulmonary vein isolation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2016
Background: Although alteration of the amplitude and morphology of bipolar electrograms is used widely as a guide of the ablation effect, there is little information concerning unipolar electrograms.

Totally Thoracoscopic Pulmonary Vein Isolation [PDF]

Innovations: Technology and Techniques in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, 2017
Since the introduction of thoracoscopic ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), the field of minimally invasive AF treatment has evolved toward an established treatment option for AF, with an overall 2-year antiarrhythmic drug free success rate of 77%.

Successful intraprocedural anticoagulation with bivalirudin during pulmonary vein isolation in a patient with known heparin-induced thrombocytopenia type II

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2016
We report the case of a 56-year-old female who presented with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Anamnestic heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) type II was suspected, and a rapid diagnostic test showed antibodies against platelet factor 4 ...

Three cases of vasospastic angina following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2017
Pulmonary vein isolation is an effective treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).Although vasospastic angina (VSA) is not a common complication after ablation of AF, we report 3 cases of VSA following ablation of persistent AF.

Isolated agenesis of the right pulmonary veins with pulmonary sequestration

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2019
We report two cases of agenesis of the right pulmonary veins (PVs) associated with sequestration of the right lung with systemic to pulmonary collateral. Both the children were referred for evaluation of recurrent lower respiratory tract infections. Transthoracic echocardiographic evaluation showed reversal of flow in the right pulmonary artery (PA ...

Cardiac parasympathetic modulation in the setting of radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation

Archives of Medical Science, 2019
The cardiac autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the genesis and maintenance of atrial fibrillation. Although, pulmonary vein isolation is the cornerstone in today’s approach to atrial fibrillation ablation, a considerable proportion of ...

Concurrent assessment of time-to-isolation and temperature at 30 s as an innovative metric for predicting the persistence of pulmonary vein isolation using second-generation cryoballoons

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Background We attempted to establish correlations between intraoperative variables such as time-to-isolation (TTI) and temperature (T) at the 30-second mark, and the sustained efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation.
