Atrio-ventricular conduction following radiofrequency ablation for atrio-ventricular node reentry tachycardia in children.
AIMS The study was designed to assess atrio-ventricular (AV) conduction with non-invasive methods at least 1 year after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the slow pathway for AV node reentry tachycardia. METHODS AND RESULTS Medical records of all patients who underwent RFA before their 18th birthday were reviewed. Patients were brought back for clinical evaluation, an electrocardiogram, an exe...
متن کاملPET and MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery for hypoxic-tissue ablation combined with radiotherapy in solid tumors
Background: The rationale was to develop an ablation approach to destroy regions of tumor resistant to radiation and thus reduce the time required for whole tumor ablation, while improving overall tumor control after radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: The system is composed of a micro positron emission tomography (mPET), 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a customized MRI-compatible foc...
متن کاملReal-Time MRI-Guided Catheter Tracking Using Hyperpolarized Silicon Particles
Visualizing the movement of angiocatheters during endovascular interventions is typically accomplished using x-ray fluoroscopy. There are many potential advantages to developing magnetic resonance imaging-based approaches that will allow three-dimensional imaging of the tissue/vasculature interface while monitoring other physiologically-relevant criteria, without exposing the patient or clinici...
متن کاملMRI-Guided Prostate Motion Tracking using Multislice-to-Volume Registration
MRI-guided prostate needle biopsy requires compensation for organ motion between target planning and needle placement. Two questions are studied and answered in this work: is rigid registration sufficient in tracking the targets with a maximum error of 3 mm (smaller than average prostate tumor size) and how many intra-operative slices are required to obtain this accuracy? We developed rigid and...
متن کاملComprehensive MRI-guided intracardiac electrophysiological interventions in swine using a combination of active tracking and passive real-time catheter imaging
Methods A 3D data set containing heart and thoracic vessels was acquired in 8 swine (37-42 kg) using a 1.5T MR-scanner and a breath hold 3D-whole-heart-sequence. An advanced MR-EP-platform (iSuite, Philips Research Hamburg) created auto-registered 3D-models of all cardiac chambers. Two MRI conditional steerable diagnostic and ablation catheters (Vision, Imricor Medical Systems) were inserted vi...
