Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2014
The efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as a treatment for drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) has been established through more than 15 years of clinical studies, which have shown consistent, reproducible results worldwide.

Kidney Fibrosis In Vitro and In Vivo Models: Path Toward Physiologically Relevant Humanized Models

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 9, April 4, 2025.
This review discusses kidney diseases with a focus on kidney fibrosis and the models currently used. It highlights the limitations of animal and 2D in vitro models in replicating human kidney anatomy and physiology. Consequently, there is a significant need for humanized 3D in vitro models, such as 3D cell aggregates, membranes and hydrogels, on‐chip ...

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 ...

Rod‐shaped Polymerized Salicylic Acid Particles Modulate Neutrophil Transendothelial Migration in Acute Inflammation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Rod‐shaped particles outperform spherical particles of the same volume in preventing neutrophil infiltration to inflamed areas, both in vitro and in vivo. This therapeutic effectiveness is attributed to better cell targeting and decreased cell motility, resulting from the geometry‐driven phagocytosis and inhibited actin polymerization.

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.

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%.

Restoration of sinus rhythm by pulmonary vein isolation improves heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in atrial fibrillation patients

Europace, 2020
Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients suffering from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with increased symptoms and higher morbidity and mortality.

Designing for Degradation: Transient Devices Enabled by (Nano)Cellulose

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Recent progress in transient devices enabled by (nano)cellulosic materials is reviewed. Transiency mechanisms, advantages of nanocelluloses, and a suite of applications are discussed. A circular thinking approach coupled with life cycle assessment is applied to critically revisit the potential, advantages, and challenges of nanocellulose‐enabled ...

Seeking an Optimal Approach for Computer-Aided Pulmonary Embolism Detection [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Pulmonary embolism (PE) represents a thrombus ("blood clot"), usually originating from a lower extremity vein, that travels to the blood vessels in the lung, causing vascular obstruction and in some patients, death. This disorder is commonly diagnosed using CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA).
