What Next After Failed Septal Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation?
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.

Catheter-Based Electroporation: A Novel Technique for Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias.
Catheter ablation of arrhythmias is now standard of care in invasive electrophysiology. Current ablation strategies are based on the use of thermal energy.

The Impact of a Visualized Steerable Sheath on Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for First-Time Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Prospective, Randomized, Single-Blind Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background A 3D electroanatomical mapping (3D‐EAM) visualized steerable sheath was designed to improve catheter placement and reduce radiation exposure during ablation, an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, prospective randomized data comparing the procedural and clinical outcomes of visualized and non‐visualized ...

Left Atrium and Left Atrial Appendage Remodeling Assessed by Echocardiography Predict Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation. [PDF]
LAAS and LAASR were independent factors contributing to AF recurrence. Incremental value of LAAS and LAASR in risk prediction of AF recurrence. ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study is to evaluate left atrium (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) remodeling using two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D‐STE) and investigate its predictive ...
