چکیده

AF ablation can be curative or reduce the symptoms of AF. However, success rates are suboptimal while procedure times can be long. Since AF ablation depends on excellent tip to tissue contact, ease of use and signal quality, a new ablation catheter (FlexAbilityTM Ablation Catheter, St Jude Medical, St Paul, MN) was designed for use during complex ablation. We report an initial case of its use during paroxysmal AF.

Remote-Controlled Magnetic Pulmonary Vein Isolation Utilizing a New Irrigated Tip Catheter in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Background: Lack of an irrigated tip magnetic catheter has limited the role of remotecontrolled magnetic (RCM) navigation (Niobe II, Stereotaxis) for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods and Results: A novel 3.5-mm tip irrigated magnetic catheter (group I, Thermocool Navistar RMT, Biosense Webster) was used for 3-D left atrial reconstruction (CARTO RMT) and RCM pulmonary vein ...

Single Center Experience with a Closed-Loop Irrigated Ablation Catheter for the Treatment of Human Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Open-irrigated electrode catheters are commonly used for ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). There are scant data available for closed-loop irrigation for ablation for AF. Proponents of open-irrigated catheters state greater patient safety from char formation, less impedance rises, and greater lesion depth. There are fundamental biophysical differences in the biophysics of the energy deliver...

Initial experience and treatment of atrial fibrillation using a novel irrigated multielectrode catheter: Results from a prospective two-center study.

BACKGROUND PV electrical isolation has become the cornerstone of catheter ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Several strategies have been proposed to achieve this goal. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of AF ablation using a new circular irrigated multielectrode ablation catheter designed to achieve single-delivery pulmonary vein (PV) isolation. ...

Remote magnetic navigation with irrigated tip catheter for ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

BACKGROUND The remote magnetic navigation system (MNS) has been used with a nonirrigated magnetic catheter for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of the newly available irrigated tip magnetic catheter for index pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF). METHODS AND RESULTS Between January 2008...
