Comparison of Conventionally Performed and Intracardiac Echocardiography Guided Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Node in Patients with Permanent Atrial Fibrillation—A Retrospective Single-Center Study Open
Background: Atrioventricular node (AVN) ablation is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) with uncontrolled ventricular rates despite maximal pharmacological treatment. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) can help with visual…
View article: Safety and feasibility of zero-fluoroscopy technique in ablation-index guided pulmonary vein isolation: a prospective, single center trial
Safety and feasibility of zero-fluoroscopy technique in ablation-index guided pulmonary vein isolation: a prospective, single center trial Open
Introduction Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) represents the cornerstone of catheter ablation procedures in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal/persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Conventionally, PVI is performed using fluoroscopy, but it …
View article: The Influence of Different Multipolar Mapping Catheter Types on Procedural Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation
The Influence of Different Multipolar Mapping Catheter Types on Procedural Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation Open
(1) Background: During pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF), multipolar mapping catheters (MMC) are often used. We aimed to compare the procedural outcomes of two MMCs, specifically a circular-shaped and a five-splin…
