We report an early experience with pacemaker and ablation procedures performed without interruption of dabigatran therapy. Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing pacemaker and ablation procedures were studied. Demographic and procedural data was collected. Dabigatran dosage was recorded, in addition to use ...
After a mean follow-up of 10 months, 83.8% of the patients had recovered and maintained sinus rhythm, and 16.1% of the patients remained in atrial fibrillation. A permanent pacemaker was implanted in 3 of these patients. Among the 82 patients followed for more than 6 months, the prevalence...

Control of ventricular rate by atrioventricular node ablation and pacemaker implantation in patients with drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with improved left ventricular (LV) function. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of atrioventricular node ablation on long...
As shown in Table 4, the most common of these was the need for pacemaker implantation, occurring in 0.07% (n = 12), with lead dislocation or malfunction in another 0.02% (n = 3). Air emboli without clinical sequelae occurred in 0.06% (n = 10). Hemoptysis was noted in...
This invention compared to in detail regards radio wave burning medical therapy and the pacemaker installation procedure which are guided to the image heart electric physiology (EP) in regard to field. While being navigated because of these procedures, via crown vascular or the anatomy structure of...
(Figure 5A), based on a composite of clinically significant adverse events (pericardial effusion or tamponade, phrenic nerve injury, stroke or systemic thromboembolism, syncope, bradycardia requiring pacemaker implantation, ventricular proarrhythmia; RR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.35-1.56), or by the individual...
An Approach to "Ablate and Pace":AV Junction Ablation and Pacemaker Implantation Performed Concurrently from the Same Venous Access Site. Background: Atrioventricular junction (AVJ) ablation combined with permanent pacemaker implantation (the "ablate and pace" approach) remains an acceptable ... ZF Is...
Needing an implanted device such as a pacemaker to control heart rhythm. Stroke, blood clots or heart attack. How serious is atrial fibrillation ablation? Heart ablation surgery is minimally invasive and serious complications are rare. However, because the procedure involves your heart, it is essent...
Thirteen patients (8.5%) experienced severe procedural complications, and 15 patients (9.8%) required implantation of a pacemaker. At a mean follow-up interval of 28.1 ± 12.6 months, 86.4% of patients demonstrated successful outcomes. The symptomatic recurrence rate was 19.6%, and 29.8% of ...
