Catheter Ablation of Long Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: Lessons Learned.
Atrial fibrillation has evolved from being a novel unproven procedure to being an important treatment option for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation ablation is an appropriate treatment option for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation, particularly if they have failed one or more trials of antiarrhythmic drug therapy. While much has been learned about the ...
متن کاملTemporal left atrial lesion formation following ablation of atrial fibrillation: Lessons learned from delayed enhancement MRI
Background. Pulmonary vein antrum isolation (PVAI) uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to induce thermal damage to the left atrial (LA) substrate in an attempt to isolate atrial fibrillation (AF) circuits. This LA tissue injury can be seen using delayed enhancement MRI (DE-MRI). Methods. A group of twenty-five patients who presented for PVAI were scanned serially at two different time points. The f...
متن کاملAblation of atrial fibrillation.
Fueled by dissatisfaction with pharmacologic strategies to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), the results of basic and clinical investigation into the understanding of AF initiation and maintenance mechanisms, and the explosive development in catheter-based technologies, AF ablation has matured from a purely investigational technique to a preferred, safe, and effective approach for curing AF, part...
متن کاملAblation of atrial fibrillation.
Recognition that the initiation of atrial fibrillation often is dependent on arrhythmogenic foci within the pulmonary veins1 opened a new chapter in our understanding of the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation, which in turn has led to dramatic improvements in our ability to ablate atrial fibrillation. Based on experimental studies and clinical studies that used a variety of catheter and surgical...
متن کاملMultimodal Data Integration for Computer-Aided Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation
Image-guided percutaneous interventions have successfully replaced invasive surgical methods in some cardiologic practice, where the use of 3D-reconstructed cardiac images, generated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), plays an important role. To conduct computer-aided catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation accurately, multimodal information integration with elec...
