Pulmonary vein stenosis or occlusion resulting from radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation can be mistakenly diagnosed as pneumonia: a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The increased use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) has led to a rise in cases of pulmonary vein stenosis or occlusion (PVS/O) as a complication. The actual frequency of pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion remains a topic of debate.

Boston Scientific Receives FDA Approval for FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System

DAIC

Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has granted approval to Boston Scientific for its FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System. A company statement reported that its PFA System is indicated for the isolation of pulmonary veins in the treatment of drug-refractory, recurrent, symptomatic, paroxysmal (i.e.,

Eagle’s Eye View: Pulsed Field Ablation and Pulmonary Vein Isolation, Penetrance of Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Genotype-Positive Relatives, TAVR or SAVR and Severe Aortic Stenosis

American College of Cardiology

In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the durability of pulmonary vein isolation using pulsed-field ablation, then examines genetic penetrance of dilated cardiomyopathy in genotype-positive relatives.

Biosense Webster Study Supports Low and Zero Fluoroscopy Workflow as Safe, Effective Alternative to Conventional Catheter Ablation

DAIC

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.

A pilot clinical assessment of biphasic asymmetric pulsed field ablation catheter for pulmonary vein isolation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a new treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), and its selective ablation characteristics give it a significant advantage in treatment. In previous cellular and animal experiments, we have demonstrated that biphasic asymmetric pulses can be used to ablate myocardial tissue.

Atrial dilatation in Atrial fibrillation : A query with multiple twists!

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Both atria develop from a combination of the primitive atrium, sinus venous, and pulmonary veins.It Regarding the issue at hand, it is widely known that in cases of mitral stenosis with AF, the left atrium (LA) is larger than the right atrium (RA) due to the obvious reason that the baseline LA was larger at the onset of AF.

PO-03-097 LEFT VENTRICULAR EJECTION FRACTION IMPROVING IN PATIENTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AND HEART FAILURE UNDERGOING PULSED FIELD ABLATION

HeartRhythm

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) has been demonstrated to promote fast and durable Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) without the risk of PV stenosis or damage to adjacent structures. Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Heart Failure (HF) are closely interlinked.
