Hemolysis after pulsed field ablation in pulmonary vein isolation: a prospective controlled trial Open
Introduction and Aim Intravascular hemolysis with consecutive acute kidney injury (AKI) has been described after pulsed field ablation (PFA) in atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of intravascular hemol…

Hemolysis after pulsed-field ablation in pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation: A prospective controlled trial Open
PFA using a multispline catheter with 8 and 16 applications per PV and focal PFA using CardioFocus (CardioFocus Inc., Massachusetts) platform showed no safety concerns with respect to hemolysis-induced AKI.

The US4ABL Strategy: A Systematic Ultrasound-Guided Approach for Left Atrial and Ventricular Ablation Procedures Open
Background: The safety and efficacy of electrophysiological (EP) procedures using ultrasound (US) guidance are being increasingly studied. We investigated if a systematic workflow with ultrasound guidance (the US4ABL), comprising four step…

Radiofrequency Pulmonary Vein Isolation without Esophageal Temperature Monitoring: Contact-Force Characteristics and Incidence of Esophageal Thermal Damage Open
Esophageal thermal lesions following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF) potentially harbor lethal complications. Radiofrequency (RF)-PVI using contact force-technology can reduce collateral damage. We evaluated the…
