ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias [PDF]
Heart, 2001 For most types of supraventricular arrhythmias medical treatment with antiarrythmic drugs is not completely effective. In addition to poor or sporadic efficacy, such drugs can be associated with a number of bothersome and even fatal side effects (although rarely), proarrhythmia, cost, and inconvenience.

Autonomic effects of radiofrequency catheter ablation [PDF]
Europace, 2000 Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has become the treatment of choice for a variety of supraventricular tachycardias. Autonomic dysfunction may occur during application of RF current; these abnormalities resolve quickly when current delivery is terminated.

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia [PDF]
Heart, 2000 Management of patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) is often difficult. Drug treatment is often ineffective. Implantable defibrillators terminate episodes but do not prevent them. Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation offers potential arrhythmia control without the adverse effects of antiarrhythmic treatment.

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Tachycardia [PDF]
Korean Circulation Journal, 2000 Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has been established as an effective and safe treatment modality for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and WPW syndrome. Surgical ablation or direct current catheter ablation had been performed to cure focal atrial tachycardia (AT), however, these treatments had limitations such as the need of open ...

Catheter Ablation of Idiopathic Ventricular Arrhythmias Originating from the Para-Hisian area - QRS Morphology Change and Late Effect of the Ablation: Case Series [PDF]
Folia Medica, 2020 Introduction: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias originating in the para-Hisian region could be challenging because of a potential risk of iatrogenic atrioventricular block.

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]
Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2012 The management of ventricular tachycardia (VT) has evolved considerably in recent times. The majority of patients with VT have structural heart disease and often implantable defibrillators. Implantable defibrillators can terminate ventricular arrhythmias and prevent sudden death but do not prevent these arrhythmias from occurring.

Catheter ablation using radiofrequency energy [PDF]
Clinical Cardiology, 1990 AbstractRecently, transvenous catheter ablation using radiofrequency impulses has been applied in experimental animals as well as in humans. This review describes the biophysics, mechanisms, and tissue effects of radio‐frequency alternating current. Ablation of the AV‐junction has been performed in experimental studies as well as in a growing number of

Mitral valve perforation after left lateral accessory pathway ablation: a case report
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2022 Background Radiofrequency catheter ablation is considered to be a relatively safe procedure. This is an unusual case report in which severe mitral regurgitation was occurred after left lateral accessory pathway radiofrequency catheter ablation.

Anatomical characteristics of pulmonary veins for the prediction of postoperative recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: The relationship between focal pulmonary vein potential and atrial fibrillation (AF) has been confirmed. Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation and circumferential pulmonary vein ablation have been the most commonly used procedures of radiofrequency ...
