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

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia [PDF]

Heart, 2000
Management of patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) is often difficult. Drug treatment is often ineffective. Implantable defibrillators terminate episodes but do not prevent them. Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation offers potential arrhythmia control without the adverse effects of antiarrhythmic treatment.

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.

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 ...

Transient complete heart block following catheter ablation of a left lateral accessory pathway. [PDF]

, 2019
A 16-year-old female with symptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome underwent catheter ablation of a left-sided lateral accessory pathway. The accessory pathway was eliminated with the first ablation lesion; however, the patient immediately ...

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 ...

Randomized trial of conventional transseptal needle versus radiofrequency energy needle puncture for left atrial access (the TRAVERSE-LA study). [PDF]

, 2013
BackgroundTransseptal puncture is a critical step in achieving left atrial (LA) access for a variety of cardiac procedures. Although the mechanical Brockenbrough needle has historically been used for this procedure, a needle employing radiofrequency (RF)

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
