Pulsed Field Ablation Procedures Found Safe and Effective for Atrial Fibrillation Patients

DAIC

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.

PO-06-187 PULMONARY HEMORRHAGE DURING CRYOABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: AN UNUSUAL COMPLICATION

HeartRhythm

Cryoablation for atrial fibrillation is a widely used technique for pulmonary vein isolation. Known complications associated with cryoablation include tamponade, phrenic nerve injury, stroke, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary vein stenosis, and atrioesophageal fistulas.

Incident cardiovascular, renal, metabolic diseases and death in individuals identified for risk-guided atrial fibrillation screening: a nationwide cohort study

Open Heart

Objective Risk-guided atrial fibrillation (AF) screening may be an opportunity to prevent adverse events in addition to stroke. The risk of AF was estimated using the FIND-AF (Future Innovations in Novel Detection of Atrial Fibrillation) risk score. to 2.10; 3.45), stroke/transient ischaemic attack (118.9;

Concomitant Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Among Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with increased risk of bleeding and stroke. Conclusions: Concomitant WATCHMAN LAAO and TAVR is noninferior to TAVR with medical therapy in severe aortic stenosis patients with AF.
