Simplified method for esophagus protection during radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation - prospective study of 704 cases

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015
Introduction:Although rare, the atrioesophageal fistula is one of the most feared complications in radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation due to the high risk of mortality.Objective:This is a prospective controlled study, performed ...

Technical advance in silico and in vitro development of a new bipolar radiofrequency ablation device for renal denervation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background Renal denervation with radiofrequency ablation has become an accepted treatment for drug-resistant hypertension. However, there is a continuing need to develop new catheters for high-accuracy, targeted ablation.

Anatomical characteristics of pulmonary veins for the prediction of postoperative recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundThe relationship between focal pulmonary vein potential and atrial fibrillation (AF) has been confirmed. Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation and circumferential pulmonary vein ablation have been the most commonly used procedures of radiofrequency ...

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 as an independent predictor of recurrence after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2017
Objectives: In this study, the serum level of matrix metalloproteinase-9 was studied as an independent predictor of recurrence after catheter ablation of a persistent form of atrial fibrillation. Methods: The study included 46 patients with a persistent

Successful Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of The Para-Hisian Accessory Pathway in A Patient with Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome

Majalah Kardiologi Indonesia, 2013
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the accessory pathway in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a highly successful mode of therapy. Sudden cardiac arrest survivors associated with WPW syndrome should undergo radiofrequency catheter ablation.

What Next After Failed Septal Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation?

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2012
Ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) by conventional radiofrequency ablation can be impossible if the ventricular wall at the targeted ablation site is very thick, as for example the ventricular septum.

Surgical repair of an esophageal perforation after radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2019
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 ...

Case Report: Application of Thoracoscopic Clamp Radiofrequency Ablation on Atrial Tachycardia Originating From Right Atrial Appendage After Catheter Ablation Failure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Atrial tachycardia originating from the right atrial appendage has a higher probability of failure of catheter ablation. Here we report a case of a 13-year-old boy with incessant tachycardia, complicated by heart enlargement, and heart failure ...

Radiofrequency ablation of ventricular premature contraction originating from a native coronary cusp after transcatheter aortic valve replacement

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2017
We describe a case of radiofrequency ablation of ventricular premature contraction (VPC) originating from the left ventricular outflow tract after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The VPC origin was the native aortic valve annulus between the left
