Electrical connections between pulmonary veins: implication for ostial ablation of pulmonary veins in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Electrical disconnection of the myocardial extensions into arrhythmogenic pulmonary veins (PVs) is recognized as a curative technique for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the presence of electrical connections between the PVs, which may make achievement of PV disconnection difficult, has not been systematically evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-nine consecutive pati...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic epicardial ablation of left pulmonary veins for lone permanent atrial fibrillation.
Permanent atrial fibrillation necessitating oral anticoagulation may lead to deleterious consequences in patients with severe comorbidity factors. We present the case of a 68-year-old female patient with a lone permanent atrial fibrillation disclosed five years earlier, necessitating anticoagulation with coumadin and treated for a lymphoma by chemotherapy. Due to hematological consequences resu...
متن کاملRobot-assisted epicardial ablation of the pulmonary veins: is a completed isolation necessary?
AIMS To study the feasibility and electrophysiological efficacy of minimally invasive beating heart ablation of the pulmonary veins (PVs) via a robot-assisted single-sided approach. BACKGROUND PV isolation by minimally invasive epicardial ablation may offer a new treatment for patients with lone atrial fibrillation (AF). However, complete PV isolation has been shown to be difficult to obtain....
متن کامل[Bilateral pulmonary veins atresia].
Rev Esp Cardiol 2002;55(6):671-2 671 Congenital atresia of the pulmonary veins is a rare anomaly that is not associated with other heart disease. It has a poor prognosis and patients die secondary to pulmonary hypertension, recurrent hemoptysis, pulmonary edema, or congestive cardiac insufficiency. We present a 5-year-old male patient admitted to the hospital for asthenia, anorexia, hemoptoic v...
متن کاملElectrical connections between pulmonary veins in humans: evidence after radiofrequency ablation of the venoatrial junction.
A47-year-old man with an uncorrected ostium primum atrial septal defect complained of frequent episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation since 1990. Class IC and III antiarrhythmic drugs failed to control the recurrences, and the patient was referred to our institution for electrophysiological evaluation. During the procedure, the focal origin of the atrial fibrillation episodes from the right...
