Catheter Ablation: Evolution and Efficiencies

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present review includes a discussion the goals and pitfalls of efficiency in the medical profession, a historical perspective on the evolution of catheter ablation in the field of electrophysiology (EP), and the data regarding the relationship between efficiency and outcomes in the EP lab. Focus on efficacy is critical to maximize resource

Pulsed Field Versus Radiofrequency Ablation in Concomitant Pulmonary Vein Isolation and LAA Occlusion: Impact on Peridevice Leak and Procedural Efficiency

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Concomitant pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is increasingly performed in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) at elevated thromboembolic risk. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been the conventional approach, but pulsed field ablation (PFA) may reduce tissue edema, procedural duration, and

Real‐Time 3D Mapping Corrects Fluoroscopic Misperception During Pulmonary Vein Isolation by Pulsed Field Ablation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In a three‐phase comparison (fluoroscopy‐only, 3D‐blinded, and real‐time 3D‐EAM), 23.8% of blinded procedures missed at least one pulmonary vein. Real‐time 3D mapping eliminated missed veins and reduced PVI applications. 3D‐EAM, three‐dimensional electroanatomical mapping; CT, computed tomography; LA, left atrium; PV, pulmonary vein.
