Effect of operator experience on outcome of radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways [PDF]

, 1993
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways has been shown to be safe and effective, and is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia involving a ...

Rising Comorbidity Burden in Inpatient Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation: Temporal Trends and In‐Hospital Outcomes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite advancements in catheter ablation (CA) technique and expertise, success rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have not substantially improved in recent years. Treating patients with advanced age and higher comorbidities may limit success rates while increasing complications.

Relation between impedance and endocardial contact during radiofrequency catheter ablation [PDF]

, 1994
Lesion size during radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is thought to be related to multiple factors, including contact pressure at the catheter-endocardial interface.

Diagnostic Accuracy of 12‐Lead ECG Algorithms for Accessory Pathway Localization in WPW: A Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome, accurate localization of accessory pathways before catheter ablation can improve procedural planning and efficiency. Several 12‐lead electrocardiographic (ECG) algorithms have been proposed, but their diagnostic performance has not been consistently established.

A Reassessment of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Low‐Infection‐Risk Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain electrophysiology (EP) procedures are associated with minimal tissue disruption and do not involve permanent transvenous leads. As a result, these interventions carry a lower risk of device‐ or procedure‐related infection. These procedures include placement of implantable cardiac monitors, leadless pacemakers, and left atrial appendage

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways and modification of atrioventricular node in children and adolescents

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1996
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-

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia originating in the main stem of the pulmonary artery.

, 2002
We report the case of a patient in whom successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of an idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating in the main stem of the pulmonary artery was performed. After successful ablation of the index arrhythmia, which
