This study aimed to identify the specific site of pulmonary vein conduction recovery after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) for improved outcomes and reduced recurrence. Patients who underwent RFA for AF at our institution were included. The ablation procedure was guided by ...
Very frequent VPCs had been detected 10 years previously and he underwent a failed radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) procedure at that time. The patient had been treated with heart failure medications including betablockers, ACE inhibitors and spironolactone for the two most recent years. Six...
Radiofrequency neurotomy This procedure targets specific nerves with heat to create a lesion that prevents the facet joint from sending pain signals to the brain. SeeRadiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for Facet and Sacroiliac Joint Pain The above does not cover every possible treatment available for whipl...
Doctors have used radiofrequency ablation for decades. With this method, it takes only about a minute for yourcardiologistto create the damage that leads to scar tissue. But it's less useful in areas where you have low blood flow. And its effect may not be permanent. ...
In addition to the periodic updates on GPS position data, data recovery device300may include two additional recovery aids—a radio frequency (RF) beacon and strobe lights. These additional recovery aids may be activated by commands sent via the Iridium system and received by the Iridium modem to...
INTRODUCTION: Fast recovery fast spin-echo (FRFSE) sequence is a sequence with which sequential 180 degrees and 90 degrees radiofrequency pulses are applied at the end of FSE sequence to accelerate recovery of longitudinal magnetization after the echo train is acquired. The sequence can provide ...
The diaphragm is a unique skeletal muscle due to its continuous activation pattern during the act of breathing. The ontogeny of macrophages, pivotal cells for skeletal muscle maintenance and regeneration, is primarily based on two distinct origins: postn
HIFU heating on sophisticated paths and large volumes can be programmed. In MRgHIFU, local temperature can be monitored by MR thermometry26. Given these advantages, HIFU has been FDA approved for tumor ablation use20. Triggering material shape recovery with HIFU has been demonstrated as versatile ...
A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical records of 165 children who underwent tonsil and adenoid radiofrequency ablation under low-temperature plasma and were admitted to the Xuzhou Children's Hospital, Xuzhou Medical University from February 2014 to May 2017. In total, 79 children ...
Thus, a clear distinction of CIN from other pre-renal, renal and post-renal components of AKI is often impossible. Radiocontrast agents have been considered as leading iatrogenic causes of AKI among inpatients [10], but the incidence of CIN following CT has likely diminished with the use of ...
