Catheter Ablation of the Pulmonary Veins as Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation - 05/12

Radiofrequency ablation using a percutaneous catheter-based approach is widely used to treat supraventricular arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation frequently arises from an abnormal focus at or near the junction of the pulmonary veins and the left atrium, thus leading to the feasibility of more focused ablation techniques directed at these structures. Catheter-based ablation, using both radiofreque...

Catheter Ablation as Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation - 1/1/17

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using a percutaneous catheter is a common approach to treat supraventricular arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently arises from an abnormal focus at or near the junction of the pulmonary veins and the left atrium, thus leading to the feasibility of more focused ablation techniques directed at these structures. Catheter-based ablation, using RFA or cryoabl...

Are Balloon Based Strategies Better Than Conventional Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation: Exploring New Frontiers In The Treatment Of Atrial Fibrillation.

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation can be eliminated with continuous circular linear lesions around the pulmonary veins using radiofrequency ablation. Due to the technical complexity of this procedure balloon-based devices have been developed to simplify pulmonary vein isolation. Cryoballoon ablation provides excellent safety and is technically less demanding when compared to radiofrequency cathete...

Pulmonary Vein Stenosis After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Catheter ablation around the pulmonary veins (PVs) has become the treatment of choice for symptomatic patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who do not respond to pharmacological therapy [1–6]. Over the past few years, a variety of strategies have been developed to achieve cure of AF [7–16]. PV stenosis is a known potential complication of radiofrequency ablation (RF) around the PVs [17–24] and...

[Radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of focal atrial fibrillation using circumferential mapping and segmentary disconnection of pulmonary veins].

INTRODUCTION The treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients without structural heart disease using radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary veins is a recently developed procedure with a good clinical success rate, although there have only been a few published series. We analyzed our results with this technique. METHOD The procedure was performed in 33 highly symptomatic patients wit...

Simultaneous noncontact mapping of left atrium in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

BACKGROUND Catheter ablation of pulmonary vein ectopic foci is a potentially curative treatment strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation. However, identification of arrhythmogenic pulmonary veins with conventional mapping is difficult, especially in patients with rare focal activity, multiple active foci, or extrapulmonary foci. The present study was designed to investigate use of simulta...
