CATHETER ablationEMERGENCY room visitsATRIAL fibrillationTREATMENT effectivenessBackground: Clinical outcomes after catheter ablation (CA) or pacemaker (PM) implantation for the tachycardia–bradycardia syndrome (TBS) has not been evaluated adequately. We tried to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of...
If your AFib does return, you might need a second ablation – in general, these work very well. Or your doctor may be able to treat it with medications. If your problems continue, your doctor might implant a pacemaker to control your heart’s electrical signals. Does Ablation Cure AFib?
A 58-year-old man with an implanted minute ventilation rate adaptive DDD pacemaker underwent RF ablation of the AV junction because of symptomatic supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. Immediately after ablation, while the pacemaker was programmed in the DDDR mode, AV sequential pacing at upper rate was...

. Subgroup analysis demonstrated similar trends, with higher freedom from AF in the surgical ablation group for paroxysmal AF patients. The incidence of pacemaker implantation was higher, while no difference in stroke or cardiac tamponade was demonstrated for the surgical versus catheter ablation groups...
Catheter ablationPacemakerSick sinus syndrome (SSS) frequently coexists with atrial fibrillation (AF). The results of AF ablation in patients with SSS have not been fully evaluated. We retrospectively investigated 65 patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF) and SSS who underwent AF ablation using either ...
The impact of a right bundle branch block (RBBB), inadvertently created prior to complete ablation of the atrioventricular (AV) junction, on the intrinsic subsidiary pacemaker function was investigated. In 31 patients suffering from intractable supraventricular tachyarrhythmia, catheter ablation of the AV...

In addition, facilities for both tem- porary and permanent pacemaker insertion should be available. It is recommended that the devices used for such ablation procedures be utilized in a manner conforming to hospital, local and national regulations governing their application . Recommendations 1 . ...
