A randomized prospective long-term (\u3e 1 year) clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation to 980nm laser ablation of the great saphenous vein [PDF]
Purpose To compare the short- and long-term (\u3e1 year) efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (ClosureFAST™) versus endovenous laser ablation (980 nm diode laser) for the treatment of superficial venous insufficiency of the great saphenous vein.

ABSTRACT Introduction While very high‐power short‐duration (vHPSD) ablation has been shown to be safe and effective for ablation of atrial fibrillation, the utility of vHPSD ablation for targeting premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) remains unclear.

Incidence and predictors of premature ventricular complexes following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and previous studies have focused on the epidemiology, mechanisms and risk factors for this global disease (Ryder and Benjamin 1999). Various studies have examined the mechanism,

Arrhythmia induction using isoproterenol or epinephrine during electrophysiology study for supraventricular tachycardia [PDF]
Background Electrophysiology study (EPS) is an important part of the diagnosis and workup for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Provocative medications are used to induce arrhythmias, when they are not inducible at baseline. The most common medication

Feasibility of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a worldwide epidemic that has hit about 33 million people. In clinical studies, the efficacy of antiarrhythmic therapy and catheter ablation in the treatment of AF was compared, and controversial results were obtained ...

ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel, non‐thermal ablation modality to achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). For the pentaspline catheter, eight applications per pulmonary vein (PV) are considered standard, with four in basket configuration and four in flower configuration.

ABSTRACT Introduction Slow pathway radiofrequency ablation is an effective treatment for atrioventricular nodal re‐entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) but has been reported in some series to result in late atrioventricular block. We examined our local experience with a retrospective review. Methods A retrospective review of all patients undergoing slow pathway
