Real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography during left atrial radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Left atrial radiofrequency catheter ablation has been recognized as an important treatment option for drugrefractory symptomatic atrial fibrillation.1 Recent consensus on technique favors catheter ablation directed to the left atrium near the pulmonary vein (PV) ostium to achieve PV isolation.2 However, ablation in the region of the ligament of Marshall (LOM) to achieve electrical isolation of ...
متن کاملDouble transseptal puncture guided by real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography during atrial fibrillation ablation.
A 65-year-old man was admitted to our centre because of recurrent drug-resistant episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, for pulmonary vein radiofrequency catheter ablation. Double transseptal (TS) puncture was performed under realtime three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) guidance. We started by placing a quadripolar catheter in the coronary sinus and a Pigtail ca...
متن کاملCryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation guided by real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography: a feasibility study.
AIMS Cryoballoon ablation (CBA; Arctic Front, Medtronic) has proven very effective in achieving pulmonary vein isolation. Real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) is a novel technology, which permits detailed visualization of cardiac structures in a 3D perspective. The aim of the present study was to assess the feasibility, advantages, and safety of RT 3D TEE in...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of atrial fibrillation facilitated by preprocedural three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography: Long-term outcome
AIM To evaluate the long-term outcome of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) facilitated by preprocedural three-dimensional (3-D) transesophageal echocardiography. METHODS In 50 patients, 3D transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) was performed immediately prior to an ablation procedure (paroxysmal AF: 30 patients, persistent AF: 20 patients). The images were available throughout ...
متن کاملFirst experience with real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography-guided transseptal in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation.
AIMS Transseptal (TS) puncture during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is a relatively safe procedure in experienced hands. However, major and minor complications cannot be completely ruled out. Real-time three-dimensional transeosophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) is a novel imaging technology that permits direct visualization of the fossa ovalis in a 3D perspective, thereby sensibly lower...
