CT of the pulmonary veins.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac rhythm disturbance and its incidence is increasing. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is a highly successful therapy for treating AF, and its use is becoming more widespread; however, with its increasing use and evolving technique, known complications are better understood and new complications are emerging. Computed tomography (CT) of the pulm...
متن کاملFactors predicting success in cryoablation of the pulmonary veins in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND This study was designed to investigate the factors predicting maintenance of sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing cryoablation of the pulmonary veins (PV-cryo) during cardiac surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-seven patients with AF undergoing PV-cryo were recruited and divided into 2 groups based on whether they were able to maintain SR ...
متن کامل[Cryoablation of pulmonary veins as complementary treatment of atria I fibrillation in valvular surgery].
BACKGROUND The Cox MAZE III operation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) is complex and consumes significant operative time. Cryoablation of the pulmonary veins (CPV) is a simpler alternative for patients that require concomitant valvular surgery. AIM To evaluate CPV in patients with AF submitted to valvular surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty one patients had simultaneous valvu...
متن کاملAnesthesia Management for Pulmonary Cryoablation
Lung tumors represent a major health impact globally. Pulmonary cryoablation treatment as a palliative measure for patients with non-operable pulmonary lesions has gained popularity over the last decade. With increasing case load and patients medical status becoming more complex, preparation for pulmonary cryoablation requires the implementation of an enhanced perioperative anesthetic plan. Cur...
متن کاملAnatomical Evaluation of Renal Arteries and Veins in Kidney Donors by CT Angiography
Abstract Background: Renal transplantation (RT) is the transplantation of a kidney into a patient with end-stage renal disease and has become the treatment of choice for most patients with end-stage renal disease. The knowledge of renal vascular variations is of a great importance for the surgeons who approach the kidneys from the retroperitoneal o...
