Treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation by ablation has become a well-established therapeutic option. Electrophysiologists provide pulmonary vein isolation and substrate modification by using different mapping systems and ablation catheters, which differ in many technical aspects, such as the energy ...
Haigney. (2015) Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Should Be Offered as Primary Therapy: What’s Your Hurry?. Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics 7 , 385-393 /Erich F.Wedam, Mark C.P.Haigney. (2015) Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Should Be Offered as Primary Therapy: What’s ...
Background Catheter ablation is a potentially curable treatment for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Flutter (Aflut). Racial disparities have been reported in the use of cardiovascular procedures. We explored such disparities in Florida. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of all ablations be...
PS Chan,S Vijan,F Morady,H Oral 摘要: We sought to compare the cost-effectiveness of left atrial catheter ablation (LACA), amiodarone, and rate control therapy in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Left atrial catheter ablation has been performed to eliminate AF, but its cost-...
Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) has been increasingly performed over the past decade. Regardless of technological advances and technique improvement, catheter ablation for AF remains a highly complex procedure and the risk of procedural complications is not negligible. This article discusses...
Cryoballoon ablation has emerged as a viable alternative to radiofrequency (RF) ablation in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) with catheter ablation. Randomized trials and observational studies have demonstrated no statistically significant difference in the overall safety, efficacy, and ...
Cost-effectiveness of radiofrequency catheter ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in the United Kingdom OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost-effectiveness of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) compared with anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy for the treatment o...

Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: mechanism-based curative treatment. In experienced hands, can be eliminated in more than 85% of patients by a percutaneous intervention lasting less than 3 h with an attendant nonlethal ... Shah,Dipen - 《Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy》 被引量...
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is currently used widely and successfully to treat a variety of arrhythmias, and ablation for atrial fibrillation represents the frontier of arrhythmia research. Development in many areas will offer to the electrophysiologic community a more rational and effective background...
Knowing the pitfalls when evaluating the long-term results after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation enables a critical analysis of the outcome presented in numerous studies on this topic. Nevertheless, catheter ablation is a long-term successful and safe therapeutic procedure for symptomatic atrial...
