Catheter ablation of drug refractory electrical storm in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy: A single center experience
OBJECTIVE Electrical storm (ES) is a life-threatening pathology that requires immediate and effective treatment due to increased morbidity and mortality. Catheter ablation (CA) is an effective therapeutic option, particularly in patients with drug resistant ventricular arrhythmia episodes. These procedures should only be performed in highly specialized and experienced centers. Here we aimed to ...
متن کاملInitial human feasibility of infusion needle catheter ablation for refractory ventricular tachycardia.
BACKGROUND Ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is sometimes unsuccessful when ablation lesions are of insufficient depth to reach arrhythmogenic substrate. We report the initial experience with the use of a catheter with an extendable/retractable irrigated needle at the tip capable of intramyocardial mapping and ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS Sequential consenting patients with recurrent ...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation in Patients with Electrical Storm in Early Post Infarction Period (6 Weeks): A Single Centre Experience
BACKGROUND Electrical storm (ES) due to drug refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) occurring within first few weeks of acute myocardial infarction (MI) has poor prognosis. Catheter ablation has been proposed for treating VT occurring late after MI, but there is limited data on catheter ablation in VT within first few weeks of MI. METHODS AND RESULTS Five patients (4 males, mean age 54.2±12....
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia guided by intracardiac echocardiography.
AIMS Ventricular tachycardia (VT) frequently has an anatomical substrate. Identification of areas prone to arrhythmogenicity facilitates radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Furthermore, direct monitoring of complications potentially increases safety of RFCA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of guiding RFCA of VT with intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), in order to imp...
متن کاملElectrophysiological abnormalities in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in the absence of overt structural heart disease
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to define the atrial electrical substrate in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) occurring in the absence of overt structural heart disease and to assess if electrophysiological parameters could predict AF recurrence after radiofrequency ablation in this population. METHODS AND RESULTS 45 consecutive patients (39 male, age 59 ± 10 years) ...
