چکیده

The inability to achieve durable pulmonary vein isolation(PVI) remains a major limitation to a catheter ablation for thew treatment of atrial fibrillation(AF), potentially resulting in AF recurrence.In this review,we discuss the research performed investigating methods to improve lesion permanence for the goal of durable PVI.Investigations evaluted procedural techniques,various catheres utilized, adjunctive pharamacologic therapy and novel energy sources designed to improve ablation lesion permanence are discussed.

Durable Pulmonary Vein Isolation: The Holy Grail of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation.

The inability to achieve durable pulmonary vein isolation remains a major limitation to catheter ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). In this review, we discuss the research performed over the past decade investigating methods to improve lesion permanence for the goal of durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Investigations evaluating procedural techniques, adjunctive pharma...

Current Hot Potatoes in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has evolved to the treatment of choice for patients with drug-resistant and symptomatic AF. Pulmonary vein isolation at the ostial or antral level usually is sufficient for treatment of true paroxysmal AF. For persistent AF ablation, drivers and perpetuators outside of the pulmonary veins are responsible for AF maintenance and have to be targeted to achieve sat...

A minimal or maximal ablation strategy to achieve pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: a prospective multi-centre randomized controlled trial (the Minimax study).

AIMS Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The intervenous ridge (IVR) may be incorporated into ablation strategies to achieve PVI; however, randomized trials are lacking. We performed a randomized multi-centre international study to compare the outcomes of (i) circumferential antral PVI (CPVI) alone (minimal) vs. (ii) CPVI with IVR ...

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation ablation: Achieving permanent pulmonary vein isolation by point-by-point radiofrequency lesions

Pulmonary vein isolation by point-by-point radiofrequency catheter ablation constitutes the cornerstone of catheter ablation strategies for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. However, despite advances in pulmonary vein isolation ablation strategies, long-term success rates after ablation remain suboptimal, which highlights the need to develop techniques to achieve more durable lesions. Strat...

Arrhythmias: drugs and devices.

Arrhythmias of supraventricular and ventricular origin are an important health issue due to mortality, morbidity, and the impaired quality of life of patients with which it is associated, but are also economically relevant due to the physician’s visits, hospitalizations, and interventions they lead to. For certain arrhythmias such as bradycardia of different origin and ventricular tachycardia a...
