Postintervention Dyspnea after Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation: Think of a Phrenic Nerve Injury
Phrenic nerve injury (PNI) is a rare complication of catheter ablation therapy, most commonly observed in cryoablation of the right side pulmonary veins.

Detecting and monitoring arrhythmia recurrence following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia prompting clinical presentation, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence and prevalence of this arrhythmia is expected to grow significantly in the coming decades.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia.
Supraventricular tachycardias are quite common in clinical practice. Medical treatment of supraventricular tachycardia often involves regular intake of drugs for several years. Problems of drug therapy include poor efficacy and bothersome side effects including proarrhythmia. This has lead to the development of non-pharmacological therapies. Arrhythmia

Catheter ablation of an accessory pathway and atrioventricular node modification using 550 kHz radiofrequency was attempted in 23 children and adolescents between five and 19 years of age (mean = 15.7 years). Fifteen children had accessory-pathway-

Background Although radiofrequency catheter ablation is the current state‐of‐the‐art treatment for ventricular tachyarrhythmias, it has limited success for several reasons, including insufficient lesion depth, prolonged inflammation with subsequent ...

Thermal modelling for endocardiac radiofrequency ablation: comparison of hyperbolic bioheat equation and Pennes bioheat equation with finite element method [PDF]
The objectives of this study are to model the endocardiac radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedure and to employ the Hyperbolic Bioheat Equation (HBE), which takes the thermal wave behaviour into account, comparing the results with those obtained using the common Pennes Bioheat Equation (BE) method.

Cosserat Rods for Modeling Tendon-Driven Robotic Catheter Systems [PDF]
Tendon-driven robotic catheters are capable of precise execution of minimally invasive cardiac procedures including ablations and imaging. These procedures require accurate mathematical models of not only the catheter and tendons but also their interactions with surrounding tissue and vasculature in order to control the robot path and interaction.

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) poses a significant risk for sudden death and heart failure exacerbation in patients with ischemic heart disease. Catheter-based radiofrequency ablation is the last treatment option for patients with frequent VT recurrences ...
