p pVarious approaches for catheter ablation of focal initiators of atrial fibrillation or the substrate for maintaining atrial fibrillation have evolved over the past 5 years. Despite these advances, there are still a large number of unresolved issues regarding the efficacy and safety of these proce...

These reasons including other important factors as informed patient choice, application of ESC guidelines, and results of the FAST (Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation versusSurgical Ablation...
Atrial fibrillation is a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia and the most common kind. It is caused by rapid, uncontrolled atrial contractions and uncoordinated ventricular responses.
This channel includes news and new technology innovations for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, also referred to as AF or afib. AF is a cardiac arrhythmia caused by irregular and often rapid heart rate. It is caused by the upper chambers (the atria)

Although catheter-based radiofrequency ablation is no longer experimental, it is not yet the first-line treatment for most patients. The authors describe how this procedure works, its indications, benefits, and limitations, and important points to communicate to potential candidates for this procedure...
In 200 consecutive patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation, the DV8 balloon retractor was used for MED; contrast was instilled into the esophagus to accurately delineate the trailing esophageal edge. Deviation was performed to maximize the distance from the trailing esophageal edge to the closest...
have reviewed the major causes of death in patients undergoing catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Many of these complications could be prevented by careful catheter manipulation, implementing safe energy settings, adequate anticoagulation, and esophageal monitoring. Urgent pericardial drainage is ...
