How to perform pulmonary vein isolation [PDF]

EP Europace, 2004
The advent of technology for the delivery of radiofrequency energy via electrode catheters, in the late 1980s, led to the perfection of techniques for the ablation of accessory pathways and classical flutter [1–4]. This has been so successful that these substrates for arrhythmia are rarely seen in the Western world.

Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation with Real‐Time Recordings from the Pulmonary Veins [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2009
Introduction: Cryoballoon (CB) ablation represents a novel technology for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). We investigated feasibility and safety of CB‐PVI, utilizing a novel spiral catheter (SC), thereby obtaining real‐time PV potential registration.

A rare case of right heart failure with the necessity for veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation following pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation

Pulmonary Circulation, 2023
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) after radiofrequency energy‐mediated percutaneous pulmonary vein isolation as a treatment option for atrial fibrillation is a serious complication and the prevalence in historical reports varies between 0% and 42%.

Mapping Technologies for Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Beyond Pulmonary Vein Isolation [PDF]

, 2021
Catheter ablation remains the most effective and relatively minimally invasive therapy for rhythm control in patients with AF. Ablation has consistently shown a reduction of arrhythmia-related symptoms and significant improvement in patients’ quality of ...

Prophylactic Cavotricuspid Isthmus Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation without Documented Typical Atrial Flutter: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2022
Background: The advantage of prophylactic cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation for AF patients without documented atrial flutter is still unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of prophylactic CTI ablation in this population.

Prognostic value of pulmonary vein size in prediction of atrial fibrillation recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation: a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study [PDF]

, 2015
The relationship between pulmonary vein (PV) anatomy and successful catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is poorly understood. Larger PV size is independently associated with more late recurrent AF after PV isolation.
