Hybrid Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
Treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved significantly during the last 3 decades. Successful surgical AF ablation was developed by the pioneering work of Dr James Cox in 1987 resulting in the development of the Coxmaze (CM) procedure.1 Further experience and incorporation of ablation technology allowed subsequent modifications to increase efficacy and decrease morbidity, resulting in t...
متن کاملAblation of Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in humans. Its maintenance is thought to be due to multiple wavelets reentry occurring in both atria [1]. Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of cryoablation to create lesions in both atria [2] and on the posterior wall of the left atrium [3], connecting the four pulmonary veins and the mitral annulu...
متن کاملAblation of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in the clinical setting affecting nearly 6 million people in United States and the numbers are only expected to rise as the population continues to age. Broadly it is classified into paroxysmal, persistent and longstanding persistent AF. Electrical, structural and autonomic remodeling are some of the diverse pathophysiological...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Catheter ablation for symptomatic, drug-resistant atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an important therapeutic option over the past decade. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been established as the cornerstone for ablation of paroxysmal AF. However, there is a dearth of data regarding the ideal approach for patients with persistent AF. It is generally accepted that PVI alone is insufficient fo...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been widely accepted as an important therapeutic modality for the treatment of patients with symptomatic, drug-refractory AF. Ablation strategies which target the pulmonary veins (PVs) and/or the PV antrum (segmental or large circumferential lesions) are the cornerstone of AF ablation procedures, irrespective of the AF type. Successful electrica...
