BackgroundInstant atrial fibrillation termination (AFT) during radiofrequency ablation has been suggested as a predictor of prognosis in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, its role in cryoballoon ablation remains unclear. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to eliminate covariate imbalances. years] were included.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has granted approval to Boston Scientific for its FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System. intermittent) atrial fibrillation (AF) and is a unique new alternative to standard-of-care thermal ablation treatment. said Nick Spadea-Anello, president, Electrophysiology, Boston Scientific. "The
Titled "Real-world Data Affirms Safety and Effectiveness of Low/Zero Fluoroscopy Atrial Fibrillation Ablation," the study was presented as a late-breaker at the 29th Annual International AF Symposium. Biosense Webster's zero fluoroscopy workflow is the first and only such workflow available in a radiofrequency (RF) cardiac ablation device.
BackgroundThe incidence and type of complications following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation have been extensively examined, but the impact associated with these complications on the length of stay and hospitalization costs is unknown.Methods and ResultsThis cohort study included 20 117 adult patients (mean age 62.6±11.4 years,
Background The value of empirical superior vena cava isolation (SVCI) following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to improve the efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) remains controversial. RFCA was guided by quantitative AI in both groups. vs 81.5%, p=0.02). 95% CI 0.19
GP ablation was performed in patients with a positive upright tilt test. During the procedure, zero-ray septal puncture was guided by intracardiac ultrasound, and the GP was localized using the anatomical approach (AA) as the ablation target. Among them, 33 (94.3%) were male, with a mean age of 22.74.6
ABSTRACT Introduction In atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures, the CARTO VIZIGO Bidirectional Guiding Sheath has previously shown promising results in reducing fluoroscopy times without compromising clinical effectiveness or safety compared with non-steerable sheaths. Results Of 199 patients included (mean age, 69.7
We conducted a comprehensive systematic analysis on procedural success rate, atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence rate and complications of cryoballoon ablation in association with the anatomy of the left atrium and PV based on preprocedural CT to gain insights into proper treatments of patients with AF using cryoballoon.
The VARIPULSE Platform is comprised of the VARIPULSE Catheter, a fully integrated variable-loop multielectrode catheter; the TRUPULSE Generator, a pulsed field ablation (PFA) generator; and the CARTO 3 System VARIPULSE Software, which provides full integration with the world's leading 3D cardiac mapping system.
When pulsed field ablation (PFA) achieved European CE mark approval in January 2021 and U. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in December 2023, it opened up the proverbial Pandora's Box for treating not only atrial fibrillation (AFib), but also ventricular arrhythmias.
Abstract Introduction The impact of repeated atrial fibrillation (AF) ablations on left atrial (LA) mechanical function remains uncertain, with limited long-term follow-up data. Results In the two-ablation, three MRI sub-study 1, the PLAS percent change rate was similar before and after the first ablation ( r 11 = − 0.9 ± 3.1%/year,
BackgroundWe assessed the impact of pre‐ and postprocedural plasma corin levels on the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation (CA).Methods The primary end point was recurrent AF between 3 and 12 months after ablation. Corin was measured before and 1 day after CA. pg/mL) increased the risk of recurrent AF by 54.3%
Overall healthcare AI clearances are gaining momentum, with 2023 bringing a 42% jump in clearances, more than doubling 2022 and 2021’s annual growth (+20% & +16%). However, this growth is in part due to the fact that products must get re-cleared as their algorithms change, and the growth of unique AI products is far more modest.
Stereotaxis will present an innovative proposal leveraging advanced robotic technology and telerobotic presence to sustainably offer high-quality cardiac ablation therapy in underserved regions of Africa. 2021 Oct, 7 (10) 1328–1330 Find more HRS24 conference coverage here If you enjoy this content, please share it with a colleague
Nearly two thirds in the rhythm control strategy were on amiodarone and only 14 had catheter ablation. That is how the strategy of rhythm control by catheter ablation was thought of as a possible better strategy, though technically more challenging, not uniformly effective and having significant risk of complications. N Engl J Med.
As per the 2021 Ren et al article cited earlier by Dr. Smith IV Amiodarone may be effective in a significant number of patients ( with other potentially effective agents being Procainamide and Ibutilide ). A anterolateral AP was successfully ablated. The ECG in Figure-7 was recorded after successful AP ablation.
The aim of the POLAR ICE Study was to evaluate 1-year efficacy and safety outcomes of cryoballoon ablation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
The primary efficacy end point included technical success, imaging success, and clinical success.ResultsBetween October 2021 and November 2022, 155 patients were enrolled and screened. No adverse events were related to the device or procedure.
We identified 25 617 inpatient PVIs from January 2017 to December 2021, of which 18 165 (71%) were linked to Medicare Provider Analysis and Review. We performed the reverse for commonly matchedICD10PCScodes, to identify corresponding CPTbilled procedures.
A burgeoning group of vendor-neutral, software-only AI-ECG platform companies has also emerged, including Cardiologs (acquired by Philips in 2021), Cardiomatics (Poland), and Accurkardia (US), whose algorithms can interpret ECG signals from 1-3 lead ambulatory devices up to a traditional 12-lead resting ECG. Active vendors in this space (i.e.,
Is this patient a candidate for cardioversion or ablation? ( If ablation is contemplated — definitive diagnosis will be made at EP study. ( She apparently was discharged from the ED in the same rhythm ( albeit with the slightly increased atrial rate ). What is the goal for treatment of this patient's AFlutter?
Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a catheter-based intervention, used to identify and ablate the epicardial ganglionated plexi (GP), which results in disruption of the vagal-mediated parasympathetic input to the sinus and atrioventricular node. Methods This is a single-center, case series study. Results Six patients were included. years (range 12.3–20.9
In such cases — radiofrequency ablation of ectopic beats triggering malignant ventricular arrhythmias was needed for control of arrhythmic storm because the antiarrhythmic medications tried were ineffective ( Marrouche et al — JACC 5;43(9): 1715-20, 2004 ).
MANIFEST-17K provides confidence that, unlike conventional thermal ablation, PFA with the pentaspline catheter does not cause the most feared complication of AF ablation—esophageal damage—nor does it cause pulmonary vein stenosis or persistent injury to the diaphragm,” says senior author Vivek Reddy, MD , The Leona M. and Harry B.
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the effect of Marshall ethanol infusion (VOM-Et) in the vein on mitral isthmus (MI) ablation. Methods Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) were grouped into vein of VOM-Et combined with radiofrequency (RF) ablation (VOM-Et-RF) and RF groups.

BackgroundLowvoltage areas in the left atrium predict atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation and are associated with adverse outcomes like death, heart failure, and stroke. We included 108 patients with atrial fibrillation scheduled for catheter ablation. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print.
The patient has been scheduled for a PVC ablation procedure. Our patient was referred for EP study with a plan of PVC ablation if possible. The various idiopathic VTs usually can be controlled well with medical treatment and/or catheter ablation therapy. Once the arrhythmia was under control cardiac MRi was performed.
