The Minimum Number of Ablation Lines for Complete Isolation of the Pulmonary Veins during Thoracoscopic Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Life, 2023
Total thoracoscopic ablation has been recommended as a class IIa indication for atrial fibrillation. However, the optimal number of ablation lines for pulmonary vein isolation has not yet been proposed.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Patients With Brugada Syndrome and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Pharmacological treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the setting of Brugada syndrome (BrS) is challenging. In addition, patients with BrS with an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) might experience inappropriate shocks for fast ...

Multicenter retrospective database evaluation of Takotsubo syndrome in subjects undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2023
Background Intracardiac catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation with pulmonary vein isolation may result in Takotsubo syndrome (TS), but the frequency, predisposing factors (age, sex, mental health disorders), and outcomes are currently unknown.

Semi-urgent pulmonary vein isolation using cryoballoon for haemodynamically unstable atrial fibrillation storm in a patient with low cardiac output syndrome: a case report

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Atrial fibrillation and heart failure are common coexisting conditions requiring hospitalisation for heart failure and death. Pulmonary vein isolation is a well-established option for symptomatic atrial fibrillation and for atrial fibrillation

Spontaneous and induced pulmonary vein tachycardia after pulmonary vein isolation [PDF]

Europace, 2004
A case is reported of recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after pulmonary vein ablation. A second procedure achieved isolation of three pulmonary veins and showed persistence of pulmonary vein tachycardia in one with implications concerning the electrophysiology of atrial fibrillation.

A modified primary culture method of rat pulmonary vein smooth muscle cells

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023
Background Although the pressure of pulmonary vein increases before pulmonary artery in pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease (PH-LHD), only a few studies have assessed pulmonary vein smooth muscle cells (PVSMCs) because of the lack of a ...

Characteristics of Phrenic Nerve Injury During Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using a 28‐mm Second‐Generation Cryoballoon and Short Freeze Strategy

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundThe reported incidence of phrenic nerve injury (PNI) varies owing to different definitions, balloon generations, balloon size, freezing regimen, and protective maneuvers.

Bigeminal Pulmonary Vein Ectopy Suppressed by Pulmonary Vein Isolation

International Heart Journal, 2008
A 58-year-old man with atrial fibrillation underwent pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI). Bigeminal atrial premature beats persisted from the beginning of the PVI. The cardiac recordings from a basket catheter (BC) revealed the PV ectopic origin in the distal right superior PV.
