Basic Aspects of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 1994
RF Ablation. Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has become the treatment of choice for many symptomatic cardiac arrhythmias. It is presumed that the primary cause of tissue injury by RF ablation is thermally mediated, resulting in a relatively discrete homogeneous lesion.

Outpatient radiofrequency catheter ablation

Herz, 1998
Outpatient radiofrequency catheter ablation has been shown to be safe and cost effective in the treatment of supraventricular tachycardias due to atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and atrioventricular reentry tachycardia. Complications secondary to vascular access are similar to those during outpatient cardiac catheterization procedures ...

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation: Indications and Complications

Pediatric Cardiology, 2000
Radiofrequency catheter ablation was first described in pediatric patients in the early 1990s. Since then, multiple advances in the technology and understanding of radiofrequency ablation have allowed this technique to blossom into one of the most powerful therapeutic tools available to the pediatric electrophysiologist.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial tachycardias

American Heart Journal, 1996
Atrial tachycardias are frequently unresponsive to medical therapy. His bundle ablation has been proposed as a palliative treatment to treat symptoms and prevent development of tachycardia-mediated cardiomyopathy. Experience with catheter ablation directed at the atrial origin of the tachycardia remains limited. We reviewed the initial success rate and

Radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants, 2015
Antiarrhythmic drugs are the first-line treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF); as a result, catheter ablation usually is not considered until a patient is experiencing symptomatic AF refractory to at least one antiarrhythmic medication or is intolerant to medical therapy. For these patients, catheter ablation is shown to be more effective than medical

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial tachycardia

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1995
Abstract Background: Atrial tachycardia is a relatively uncommon arrhythmia which usually responds poorly to antiarrhythmic drug therapy. Transcatheter radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a new therapeutic modality for patients with atrial tachycardia. Aim: This study analyses our early experience with the treatment of atrial tachycardia by this technique.

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Cardiac Tachyarrhythmias

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1994
To review the radiofrequency ablation method, describe the technique, and discuss the indications, results, and limitations of its use in patients with cardiac tachyarrhythmias.Peer-reviewed reports in the literature by clinical investigators who use radiofrequency catheter ablation as identified by a MEDLINE search and our own experience with this ...

RADIOFREQUENCY CATHETER ABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

Cardiology Clinics, 1997
Until recently, catheter-based radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation was limited to palliative approaches of either atrioventricular node ablation or modification. It is now recognized that at least a proportion of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation may be suitable for curative ablation of an underlying single arrhythmogenic focus ...
