Recent reports have described the incidence of atrioesophageal fistulas (AEF), often resulting in death, from radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF).1 Cases of esophageal perforation without concomitant AEF have not been ...

Multiple Arrhythmogenic Substrate for Tachycardia in a Patient with Frequent Palpitations [PDF]
We report a 26-year-old woman with frequent episodes of palpitation and dizziness. Resting electrocardiography showed no evidence of ventricular preexcitation.

Investigation of the Impact of Cold Plasma Treatment on the Wettability of Medical Grade Polyvinylchloride [PDF]
The impact of the Corona, dielectric barrier discharge and low pressure radiofrequency air plasmas on the wettability of the medical grade polyvinylchloride was investigated. Corona plasma treatment exerted the most pronounced increase in the hydrophilization of polyvinylchloride.

Voltage analysis after multi-electrode ablation with duty-cycled bipolar and unipolar radiofrequency energy: a case report [PDF]
Pulmonary vein ablation with a single-tip catheter remains long and complex. We describe a typical case of a novel efficient technique with a decapolar ring catheter utilizing alternating unipolar/bipolar radiofrequency energy.

Spectral Distribution Complexity of the Surface Fibrillatory Waves Predicts Post-Catheter Ablation Relapse in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
As for most of cardiac arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation (AF) is primarily treated by catheter ablation (CA). However, the mid-term recurrence rate of this procedure in persistent AF patients is still limited and the preoperative prediction of its outcome is clinically interesting to select candidates who could benefit the most from the intervention ...

Preoperative Prediction of Catheter Ablation Outcome in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Patients through Spectral Organization Analysis of the Surface Fibrillatory Waves [PDF]
Catheter ablation (CA) is a commonly used treatment for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Since its medium/long-term success rate remains limited, preoperative prediction of its outcome is gaining clinical interest to optimally select candidates for the procedure.
