Inflammatory and Myocardial Biomarker Response Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Cryoballoon Versus Balloon‐in‐Basket Pulsed Field Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cryoballoon ablation (CB) is a well‐established thermal technique for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), while balloon‐in‐basket pulsed field ablation (BiB‐PFA) represents a novel non‐thermal alternative. Both single‐shot systems may trigger systemic inflammation and myocardial injury, yet direct comparisons are lacking.

Cardioverting acute atrial fibrillation and the risk of thromboembolism: not all patients are created equal [PDF]

, 2017
Current guidelines support the well-established clinical practice that patients who present with atrial fibrillation (AF) of less than 48 hours duration should be considered for cardioversion, even in the absence of pre-existing anticoagulation. However,

Symptomatic Deep Venous Thrombosis of the Upper Extremity Following Transvenous Lead Extraction, Data From EXTRACT Registry

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Venous thrombosis occurring after TLE procedures is a fairly common but poorly described complication and requires further investigation into its causes. Aim The aim of this study was to identify independent predictors of UEDVT occurrence after TLE procedures.

Disappearance of Spontaneous Echographic Contrast after Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty: An Indicator of Sustained Hemodynamic Improvement [PDF]

, 1990
In three patients undergoing mitral balloon valvuloplasty for mitral stenosis transesophageal echocardiography was performed before, immediately after, and 6 months after the procedure. In the one patient with persistent hemodynamically favorable result,

Averaged Impedance Drop Estimates Conduction Gap During Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background EnSite X provides a module to filter oscillated generator impedance signals due to cardiac beating/respiration (averaged impedance drop, AID). TactiFlex ablation catheter Sensor Enabled (TFSE) is the latest product to incorporate a contact‐force sensor with a flexible tip but without lesion‐estimating parameters.

Impact of Pulsed Field Ablation Dosing on Outcome After Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using a Pentaspline Ablation Catheter: A Prospective Comparison of 8 Versus 16 Applications

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel, non‐thermal ablation modality to achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). For the pentaspline catheter, eight applications per pulmonary vein (PV) are considered standard, with four in basket configuration and four in flower configuration.
