Intramyocardial Hematoma After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

Acute Pulmonary Embolism after Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

Pulmonary Embolism as a Complication after radiofrequency catheter ablation Study: A Case Report

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a fatal condition that may rarely occur due to complications of coronary catheter insertion. In this case report, a 41-year-old male was presented 48 hours after radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA) for the management of Wolf-Parkinson-White syndromewith acute onset of dyspnea, hemoptysis, and chest pain. The physical examination revealed coarse crackles in ...

Conservative Management of Left Atrial Intramural Hematoma after Catheter Ablation

Left atrial intramural hematoma is a very rare complication of radiofrequency ablation procedures. A patient with tachyarrhythmia underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation. Echocardiography performed the following morning showed a large mass in the left atrium, suggestive of intramural hematoma formation. The patient was in a stable condition; therefore, it was decided that follow-up should be...

Pulmonary vein stenosis after catheter ablation: electroporation versus radiofrequency.

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation inside pulmonary vein (PV) ostia can cause PV stenosis. A novel alternative method of ablation is irreversible electroporation, but the long-term response of PVs to electroporation ablation is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS In ten 6-month-old pigs (60-75 kg), the response of PVs to circular electroporation and radiofrequency ablation was compared. Ten consecut...
