Combination of Hansen Robotic system with cryocatheter in a challenging parahisian accessory pathway ablation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A perceived distinctive feature of cryoablation is the stability (cryoadherence) of the catheter tip during cold temperatures at the desired location, even during tachycardia. We report the case report of a young patient with a parahisian accessory pathway where stability of the ablation catheter was not achieved despite using the cryocatheter with a steerable sheath. Ultimately, stability at the desired location was achieved robotically by means of Hansen system (Hansen Medical, Mountain View, CA, USA).

Catheter inversion technique for ablation of parahisian accessory pathway.
A case of WPW Syndrome due to parahisian accessory pathway was ablated by the catheter inversion technique. The pathway could not be eliminated by direct femoral approach using repeated high radiofrequeny energy ablation. No pathway potential was seen in the aortic cusps. Instead, it was successfully ablated by curving the ablation catheter underneath the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve t...

Introduction: Tachyarrhythmias in Wolf Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome, can be a life threatening factor. Antiarrhythmic drug therapy in this syndrome, has not been completely acceptable. Efficacy, safety and economy of Radio Frequency Catheter Ablation (RFCA) in western studies, has made it as the treatment of choice. In the present study, efficacy of RFCA in the ablation of accessory pathway...

AIMS This is a prospective, randomized study comparing transvenous cryoablation with radiofrequency (RF) ablation of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT). METHODS AND RESULTS In this pilot trial, 200 patients with AVNRT were randomized to undergo cryoablation or RF ablation of the slow pathway. A 7 Fr 4-mm-tip cryocatheter (Cryocath) was used for cryomapping and cryoablation....

Introduction: Radical prostatectomy is an effective curative treatment option for organ-confined prostate cancer. There is a recent trend in offering curative treatment to patients with oligometastatic disease. More sensitive imaging modalities can identify oligometastatic disease that is not usually detected by conventional imaging techniques. Case presentation: We present a case in which a s...
