Electrophysiological Evaluation of Thoracoscopic Pulmonary Vein Isolation.
Although the majority of patients with atrial fibrillation and an indication for non-pharmacological therapy is treated with catheter ablation, thoracoscopic surgery is an emerging technique that aims at combining the results of the classic Cox Maze operation with a less invasive approach. Recurrences after thoracoscopic surgery have been mainly ascribed to incomplete ablation lines, but litera...
متن کاملThoracoscopic radiofrequency pulmonary vein isolation and atrial appendage occlusion.
A 46-year-old woman with a 7-year history of profoundly symptomatic daily paroxysmal atrial fibrillation had undergone two percutaneous catheter ablations and multiple medication trials. With informed consent, bilateral pulmonary vein isolation and left atrial appendage occlusion as well as ablation of ganglionated plexi were performed by a totally thoracoscopic technique employing a bipolar ra...
متن کاملA totally thoracoscopic approach for pulmonary anatomic segmentectomies.
Reported experience with video-assisted anatomic pulmonary segmentectomy is still limited. Over a 28-month period, totally thoracoscopic (TT) anatomic segmentectomies, i.e. using only endoscopic instrumentation and video-display without utility incision, were attempted on 50 patients (25 males and 25 females), aged 18-81 years (mean: 57 years). The indication was a clinical N0 non-small cell lu...
متن کاملSpontaneous and induced pulmonary vein tachycardia after pulmonary vein isolation.
A case is reported of recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after pulmonary vein ablation. A second procedure achieved isolation of three pulmonary veins and showed persistence of pulmonary vein tachycardia in one with implications concerning the electrophysiology of atrial fibrillation.
متن کاملLeft atrial-pulmonary vein reentrant tachycardia following pulmonary vein isolation.
Pulmonary vein isolation has become the cornerstone of ablation for atrial fibrillation. However, it is sometimes followed by the development of left atrial macro-reentrant tachycardia. There is evidence to suggest that the myocardial sleeves within the pulmonary veins may be implicated in the mechanism of the tachycardia. Here we present a case of a post-ablation macro-reentrant tachycardia, i...
