BACKGROUND Ventricular tachycardia recurrence can occur after ventricular tachycardia ablation because of incomplete and nontransmural ventricular lesion formation. We sought to compare the lesions made by a novel irrigated needle catheter to conventional radiofrequency lesions. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirteen female sheep (4.6±0.7 years, 54±8 kg) were studied. In 7 sheep, 60-s radiofrequency ap...
BACKGROUND Observational data suggest that performing radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) under therapeutic warfarin (continuous warfarin [CW]) may reduce the periprocedural risk of complications, such as thromboembolic events, compared to warfarin discontinuation (DW) with periprocedural bridging with heparin. We systematically reviewed the available evidence on the im...
Despite advances in ablation technology, many patients experience recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) after radiofrequency ablation. Although estimates vary, the overall 1-year drug-free success for AF ablation is estimated at 40% to 60% for a single procedure and 70% for multiple procedures. The cornerstone of conventional AF ablation is pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), and in clinical practice,...
Background. Radiofrequency energy has been used safely and successfully to eliminate accessory pathways in patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and the substrate for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. However, this form of ablation has had only limited success in eliminating ventricular tachycardia in patients with structural heart disease. In contrast, direct-current cat...
Over the last decade, cryoballoon ablation has emerged as an effective alternate strategy to point-by-point radiofrequency ablation for treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation. There are several reasons for this. First, the acute and long-term safety and efficacy associated with cryoablation appear comparable to that of radiofrequency ablation in patients with both paroxysmal and also pers...
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by frequent ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricle and fibro-fatty replacement of right ventricular myocardium. Though the disorder was originally described during surgical ablation of refractory ventricular tachycardia, catheter ablation of tachycardia is one of the options for patients ...
AIMS Pulmonary vein ablation offers the potential to cure patients with atrial fibrillation. In this study, we investigated the incidence of pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency catheter ablation of refractory atrial fibrillation by systematic long-term follow-up. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-seven patients with refractory and highly symptomatic atrial fibrillation underwent radiofrequen...
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation has limitations, largely related to creation of lesions by heating. Here, we report the first nonthermal ablation by applying photodynamic therapy (PDT) to cardiac tissues using a custom-made deflectable laser catheter. The present study investigated the feasibility of PDT for cavotricuspid isthmus ablation in a canine model. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated...
