Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) is effective for treating paroxysmal and persistent AF, and has been shown to impact heart rate variability (HRV) indices, in turn, reflecting vagal denervation. We examined the impact of CPVI on HRV indices, and evaluated the relationship between ...
In this study of first-time paroxysmal AFib ablation procedures, a patient’s gender did not impact rate of clinical success, arrhythmia recurrence, or overall safety. Data did show females were older, held a higher CHADS-Vasc score, and experienced a higher percentage of left ...
circulation of water and air. The glacier surface receives warmth predominantly from solar radiation and from the air. The thermal balance of the glacier surface is the basis of all surface ablation processes. The term “ablation” is sometimes used as well as a synonym for “surface washoff....
SUGGESTED for you — The problem with AF drugs is that we may not be looking at the right type of drugs. The literature and clinical experience with AF drugs thus far has included only those chemicals that alter cardiac ion channels— eg, rhythm drugs. Dr Packer expressed the notion that ...
Together, they allow operators to confirm ablation success while maintaining worfklow simplicity. FARAVIEW is available exclusively on theOPAL HDx™ Mapping System. Visualize the future System components The FARAPULSE System is a complete PFA solution, evolving the standard of care for AFib with tran...
AFib patients – were analyzed. The primary endpoint of the analysis was incidence of procedure – or device-related primary adverse events (PAEs) within seven to ninety days of the ablation procedure; the secondary endpoint was the rate of acute...
The main indication for CNA was AFib with brady-tachy syndrome (8 pts, 53.3%), followed by VVS (4 pts, 26.7%), SB (2 pts, 13.3%) and AVB (2:1 AVB; 1 pt). The most common symptom was syncope (46.7%), followed by pre-syncope (40%) and fatigue (20%). There was a ...
PO-01-108 NOVEL CRYO-BALLOON TECHNOLOGY FOR SUCCESSFUL ATRIAL FIBRILLATION ABLATION AND IMPACT OF PULMONARY VEIN VARIANT ANATOMY: COOLING CHARACTERISTICS A... Atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common arrhythmia, has been identified as a major cause of stroke. The current standard in interventional...
"If the ablation is limited to the pulmonary vein alone, the success rate goes down—almost to the level of the Amiodarone treatment," Di Biase said. "The highest success rates were for procedures in which other areas (in addition to the pulmonary vein) were ablated." ...
Today, bipolar radiofrequency heat or cryotherapy cooling are the most accepted sources for creating linear lesions with consistent safety and transmurality. The robust and reliable nature of these energy delivery methods has yielded a success rate reaching 90% freedom from atrial fibrillation at 12 ...
