Myocardial and Neural Damage due to Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Comparison of Pulsed Electric Field and Thermal Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using thermal energy—radiofrequency (RF) or cryoablation (CRYO)—is associated with direct myocardial injury and collateral neural damage. In contrast, pulsed electric field (PEF) energy has emerged as a neural‐sparing alternative.

Successful catheter ablation of ventricular premature complexes from the right atrial side of the atrioventricular septum with good contact force

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2018
The acquisition of good contact force for radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) originating from the basal septum of the left ventricle (LV) is often difficult.

Catheter Ablation of Tachyarrhythmias in Small Children [PDF]

, 2005
An estimated 80,000-100,000 radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures are performed in the United States each year.1 Approximately 1% of these are performed on pediatric patients at centers that contribute data to the Pediatric Radiofrequency Registry.2 ...

Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Obesity: Procedural and Clinical Outcomes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Procedural and clinical outcomes in patients with obesity undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) have been mixed. Clinical data in the context of pulsed field ablation (PFA) are currently limited in this patient cohort.

Idiopathic Epicardial Ventricular Arrhythmias: Diagnosis and Ablation Technique from the Aortic Sinus of Valsalva [PDF]

, 2005
Idiopathic outflow tract arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardias or symptomatic premature ventricular contractions; OT-VT/PVCs) can originate from the left ventricular (LV) epicardium (Epi-VT/PVCs), and radiofrequency (RF) energy applications from the ...

Technical Feasibility of the RHYTHMIA Mapping System in Pediatric Patients Weighing Less Than 20Kg

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Catheter ablation in pediatric patients remains technically challenging. The RHYTHMIA high‐density mapping system is increasingly used in pediatric electrophysiology; however, procedural experience in patients weighing less than 20 kg is limited.

Delayed CAVB After SP Ablation for AVNRT: Mechanistic Insights Into FP Injury and Pacing Decision‐Making

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As standard therapy for atrioventricular nodal re‐entrant tachycardia (AVNRT), radiofrequency ablation of the antegrade slow pathway (SP) is associated with a low risk of AV block. Delayed complete AV block (CAVB), however, is a rare but clinically challenging complication, particularly concerning permanent pacemaker decision‐making. A 79‐year‐

Radiofrequency catheter ablation increases mean platelet volume [PDF]

Revista da Associação Médica Brasileira, 2019
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may increase the risk of thromboembolic events. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of RFA on mean platelet volume (MPV), an indicator of platelet activity. METHODS A total of 95 patients undergoing RFA were included in the study.

Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Symptomatic Sick Sinus Syndrome: A Case Series

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), sinus node disease (SND) represents a potentially reversible concomitant condition. Initial treatment with catheter ablation (CA) aimed at restoration of sinus rhythm may provide an alternative to pacemaker implantation. In this case series, 15 elderly patients (>65 years) with AF and SND underwent CA,
