Automatic planning of atrial fibrillation ablation lines using landmark-constrained nonrigid registration.
Catheter ablation is a common treatment option for drug-refractory atrial fibrillation. In many cases, pulmonary vein isolation is the treatment of choice. With current fluoro overlay methods or electroanatomic mapping systems, it is possible to visualize three-dimensional (3-D) anatomy as well as target ablation lines to provide additional context information. Today, however, these lines need ...
متن کاملNonrigid free-form registration using landmark-based statistical deformation models
In this paper, we propose an image registration algorithm named statistically-based FFD registration (SFFD). This registration method is a modification of a well-known free-form deformations (FFD) approach. Our framework dramatically reduces the number of parameters to optimise and only needs to perform a single-resolution optimisation to account for coarse and fine local displacements, in cont...
متن کاملCardiac registration: going further than atrial fibrillation ablation.
Precise delineation of anatomy and function are essential for accurately delivering interventional tools during electrophysiological procedures. Fluoroscopy is the traditional imaging modality used because it provides instantaneous information. However, it lacks precise anatomic visualization due to poor soft-tissue contrast between the area of interest and surrounding structures in a moving or...
متن کامل[Surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation using radiofrequency].
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative atrial fibrillation ablation using radiofrequency during mitral valve procedure. This report describes the early and midterms results. METHODS Between September 2003 and September 2005, 15 patients with mitral disease were operated. All patients were in chronic atrial fibrillation and with congestive symptoms despite full medication. T...
متن کاملNonfluoroscopic Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Using Cryoballoon.
BACKGROUND The conventional method of cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation involves the use of fluoroscopy for visual guidance. The use of fluoroscopy is accompanied by significant radiation risks to the patient and the medical staff. Herein, we report our experience in performing successful nonfluoroscopic pulmonary vein isolation using cryoballoon ablation in 5 consecutive patients wit...
