Risk of Burnout among Emergency Department Staff as a Result of Violence and Aggression from Patients and Their Relatives Open
Emergency department staff are often affected by incidents of violence. The aim of the study was to generate data on the frequency of violence by patients and accompanying relatives and the correlation between experienced aggression, a pos…
Analysis of risk factors in thoracic trauma patients with a comparison of a modern trauma centre: a mono-centre study Open
Objectives Thoracic trauma (TT) is the third most common cause of death after abdominal injury and head trauma in polytrauma patients. Its management is still a very challenging task. The purpose of this study was to analyse the risk facto…
Management of thoracic trauma and analysis of risk factors in thoracic trauma patients Open
Objectives:Thoracic trauma (TT) is the third most common cause of death after abdominal injury and head trauma in polytrauma patients. Its management is still a very challenging task. The purpose of this study was to analyse the epidemiolo…
Box Isolation of fibrotic areas: A substrate modification approach in atrial fibrillation patients Open
In the last years, atrial fibrosis was shown to be an independent predictor of procedural failure in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation. Ablation strategies have been developed to improve the outcome of catheter ab…

WITHDRAWN: 2017 HRS/EHRA/ECAS/APHRS/SOLAECE expert consensus statement on catheter and surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation Open
During the past three decades, catheter and surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) have evolved from investigational procedures to their current role as effective treatment options for patients with AF.Surgical ablation of AF, using…
P2656Modern ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: enabling an early patient outcome prognosis by combining classic and new concepts Open
Aims:We compared the arrhythmic outcomes after a hybrid procedure, consisting of a thoracoscopic ablation followed by an endocardial radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA), versus RFCA alone in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).Metho…
216-24: Box isolation of fibrotic areas (BIFA) in patients with pronounced atrial fibrosis - distribution and size of target sites requiring individual ablation concepts Open
Introduction: Atrial fibrosis is associated with poor catheter ablation outcomes in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients (pts). Box isolation of fibrotic areas (BIFA) was described as a promising concept in selected pts with fibrotic atrial c…
56-10: Periprocedural factors associated with outcome in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Is “clean pulmonary vein isolation” enough? Open
Background: Pulmonary vein (PV)-reconduction is accepted to be the main cause for AF-recurrences in patients (pts) with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Therefore, durable PV isolation (PVI) is a desired endpoint. Adenosine-induced tr…
Current controversies in determining the main mechanisms of atrial fibrillation Open
Despite considerable basic research into the mechanisms of atrial fibrillation ( AF ), not much progress has been made in the prognosis of patients with AF . With the exception of anticoagulant therapy, current treatments for AF still do n…
