متن کاملDesign of an Outpatient Atrial Fibrillation of Excellence: Current Experience with the Deliver of Pre and Post Procedure Care.
The population of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to expand and emerges to be the most common arrhythmia we deal with. Referrals to centers performing catheter based ablation procedures for AF also continue to grow as catheter ablation becomes an increasingly accepted therapeutic approach. In this article we will describe the infrastructure we have developed to manage our atria...
متن کاملTermination of anticoagulation therapy at 45 days after concomitant atrial fibrillation catheter ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion resulting in device-related thrombosis and stroke
Catheter ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) is a safe and effective treatment for patients with both paroxysmal and persistent symptomatic AF. However, given the uncertainty about recurrence after the ablation procedure and continued risk of thromboembolism, it is still recommended to treat with anticoagulation for the long-term prevention of stroke. Left atrial appendage (LAA) occlu...
متن کاملStaged transthoracic approach to persistent atrial fibrillation (TOP-AF): study protocol for a randomized trial
BACKGROUND Persistent atrial fibrillation frequently shows multiple different electrophysiological mechanisms of induction. This heterogeneity causes a low success rate of single procedures of ablation and a high incidence of recurrence. Surgical ablation through bilateral thoracotomy demonstrates better results after a single procedure. Prospective observational studies in inhomogeneous popula...
متن کاملThe Prevalence of Low Left Atrial Appendage Emptying Velocity and Thrombus in Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation on Uninterrupted Peri-procedural Warfarin Therapy.
Introduction: The 2012 HRS/EHRA/ECAS guidelines encourage pre-procedural transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) prior to ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), but acknowledge a lack of consensus in patients maintained on therapeutic warfarin before, during and after the procedure. This is partly because the incidence of left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus is so low, that it is hard to draw cl...
