Cooling or Warming the Esophagus to Reduce Esophageal Injury During Left Atrial Ablation in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation. [PDF]

, 2020
Ablation of the left atrium using either radiofrequency (RF) or cryothermal energy is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) and is the most frequent type of cardiac ablation procedure performed. Although generally safe, collateral injury to

Non‐Endocardial Radiofrequency Ablation of Premature Ventricular Complexes (NERA‐PVC): Safety, Efficacy and Outcome

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Non‐endocardial radiofrequency ablation of PVCs is a safe and effective procedure, even with the use of high power and/or long duration RF application. Clinicians should consider this approach in case of LV summit and/or ASV PVCs, although long‐term follow‐up is still characterized by a relatively high recurrence rate.

Pentaspline Pulsed Field Ablation Versus High‐Power Short‐Duration/Very High‐Power Short‐Duration Radiofrequency Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
PFA in AF patients is associated with similar efficacy and safety profiles as compared to HPSD/vHPSD RFA, with shorter procedural but longer fluoroscopy times. Large, well‐designed RCTs are eagerly awaited to expand our findings. ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field energy has been proposed as alternative to radiofrequency energy in atrial fibrillation (AF)

High-resolution mapping and ablation of recurrent left lateral accessory pathway conduction

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2017
Proper localization of the anatomical target during ablation of the accessory pathways (AP) and the ability to detect clear AP potentials on the ablation catheter are crucial for successful AP ablation.

Long‐Term Follow‐Up of Inducible Bundle Branch Reentrant Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients Without Structural Heart Disease: Beyond the Electrophysiology Laboratory

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia (BBR‐VT) is a rare form of VT occurring in patients with structural heart disease (SHD). Rarely, it can also occur in the absence of SHD. Understanding its clinical and electrophysiologic (EP) properties and outcomes post‐catheter ablation (CA) is crucial. Objective We present a series

Is cryoballoon ablation preferable to radiofrequency ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation by pulmonary vein isolation? A meta-analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2014
ObjectiveCurrently radiofrequency and cryoballoon ablations are the two standard ablation systems used for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation; however, there is no universal consensus on which ablation is the optimal choice.

Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence Reduction: What Treatments Work Best Postablation? A Network Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, associated with significant morbidity, including increased risks of stroke, heart failure, and mortality. While catheter ablation is an effective rhythm control strategy, high recurrence rates postprocedure remain a major clinical challenge.

Force‐sensing catheters during pediatric radiofrequency ablation: The FEDERATION Study [PDF]

, 2017
Background Based on data from studies of atrial fibrillation ablations, optimal parameters for the TactiCath (TC; St. Jude Medical, Inc) force‐sensing ablation catheter are a contact force of 20 g and a force‐time integral of 400

Effectiveness and Safety of Intramyocardial Needle Ablation for Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia and Premature Ventricular Complexes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Intramyocardial needle ablation is a novel technique for treating refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) and premature ventricular complexes (PVC). However, studies defining the effectiveness and safety of this procedure are limited.
