The Survey of Radiation Dose in Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

Japanese Journal of Radiological Technology, 2013
Interventional radiology (IVR) is a technique using image guidance such as X-ray fluoroscopy to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. It is widespread, and its use continues to increase. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has a long fluoroscopy time, and ablation procedures may be repeated in a single session.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Radiofrequency Atrioventricular Node Ablation in a Real‐World Population

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background While interventional strategies have expanded the options for long term rhythm restoration, rate control continues to play a pivotal role in the treatment of atrial arrhythmias; however, pharmacologic strategies alone often fail in achieving effective rate control.

Interplay of Probe Stability and Oscillation During Very‐High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation in Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract presents a comprehensive analysis of probe stability and oscillation during very high‐power short‐duration (vHPSD) pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation. The findings indicate that oscillation velocity serves as a more reliable predictor of impedance drop and temperature changes than contact force alone ...

Intra‐Procedural Three‐Dimensional Rotational Angiography in Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: An RCT

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The impact of various imaging techniques on the safety and outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation remains unclear. Intra‐procedural three‐dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) is the least used imaging method despite some benefits.

Hemolysis and Renal Outcomes After Pulsed Field Versus Thermal Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Evaluate the comparative risk of hemolysis and acute kidney injury (AKI) with pulsed field ablation (PFA) versus thermal ablation (TA) for atrial fibrillation. Methods Databases were searched through June 2025 for comparative studies reporting hemolysis markers or renal outcomes.

NT‐proBNP as a Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Cryoballoon, Radiofrequency and Pulsed‐Field Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central Illustration: In a study investigating AF recurrence after PVI with RFA, CBA, and PFA, elevated NT‐proBNP emerged as a strong predictor of recurrence within the first year, outperforming other clinical measures. Color‐coded recurrence‐free survival probability charts derived from these data are proposed to support individualized clinical ...

Ablation of epicardial premature ventricular contractions in a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy and implementation of cardiac resynchronization therapy in the same procedure

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2017
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) can cause clinical deterioration in patients with heart failure and increase the frequency of shocks delivered by an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
