Total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage in a 60-year-old woman diagnosed in an ECG-gated multidetector computed tomography : a case report and review of literature [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: Total anomalous pulmonary vein drainage (TAPVD) is a congenital cardiac defect in which there is no connection between pulmonary veins and the left atrium.

Successful hot balloon ablation for focal atrial tachycardia derived from the left superior pulmonary vein antrum

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2020
A 45‐year‐old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) was admitted to our hospital for hot balloon ablation. At admission, atrial tachycardia (AT) was observed.

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.

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.

Pulsed Field Ablation for Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Atrial Fibrillation.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2019
BACKGROUND Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation using thermal energies such as radiofrequency or cryothermy is associated with indiscriminate tissue destruction.

Absence of first‐pass isolation is associated with poor pulmonary vein isolation durability and atrial fibrillation ablation outcomes

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2021
Pulmonary vein (PV) reconnection is the main cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. This study aimed to examine the effect of first‐pass PV isolation (PVI) on PV reconnection frequency during the procedure and on AF ablation outcomes.
