Prospective Assessment of an Automated Intraprocedural 12-Lead ECG-Based System for Localization of Early Left Ventricular Activation Open

Shijie Zhou, Amir AbdelWahab, B. Milan Horáček, Paul J. MacInnis, James W. Warren , et al. · 2020

Background: To facilitate ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT), an automated localization system to identify the site of origin of left ventricular activation in real time using the 12-lead ECG was developed. The objective of this stud…

Second-Generation Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation　― A Detailed Analysis of the Impact of Left Atrial Volume Index on Clinical Outcome ― Open

Ken Takarada, Erwin Ströker, Carlo de Asmundis, Juan Sieira, Juan‐Pablo Abugattas , et al. · 2018

LAVI predicted AF recurrence after PVI using CB-A in PeAF patients but not in PAF patients. If LAVI was ≤61 mL/m², the mid-term efficacy among PeAF patients was equivalent to that for PAF patients.

Continuous monitoring after second-generation cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices Open

Rajin Choudhury, Hugo‐Enrique Coutiño, Radu Darciuc, Erwin Ströker, Valentina De Regibus , et al. · 2018

Although this is a selected group of patients with a preexisting CIED, continuous monitoring showed freedom from AF in 83.3% of patients post-CBA after 1 year and 75.93% after 3 years of follow-up.

Giacomo Mugnai, Carlo de Asmundis, Saverio Iacopino, Erwin Ströker, M. Longobardi , et al. · 2017

Objective: We investigated the efficacy of additional GP ablation as compared with circumferential pulmonary vein ablation (CPVA) alone in patients with paroxysmal AF.Methods: A total of 162 patients (male/female ¼ 112/50, mean age: 63 6 1…

Clinical value of induction protocol after second generation cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation Open

Vedran Velagić, Erwin Ströker, Carlo de Asmundis, Giacomo Mugnai, Saverio Iacopino , et al. · 2017

PAC occurrence in response to isoproterenol could predict AF recurrence after PV isolation by CB, while RAP showed no prognostic implication.

Efficacy and safety of the second generation cryoballoon ablation for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients over 75 years: a comparison with a younger cohort Open

Juan‐Pablo Abugattas, Saverio Iacopino, Darragh Moran, Valentina De Regibus, Ken Takarada , et al. · 2017

The results of our study showed that CB-A for the treatment of PAF is a feasible and safe procedure in elderly patients, with similar success and complications rates when compared with a younger population.

Determinants of Acute and Late Pulmonary Vein Reconnection in Contact Force–Guided Pulmonary Vein Isolation Open

Milad El Haddad, Philippe Taghji, Thomas Phlips, Michael Wolf, Anthony Demolder , et al. · 2017

Background— Pulmonary vein reconnection (PVR) still determines recurrences of atrial fibrillation after contact force (CF)–guided pulmonary vein isolation. We studied whether acute PVR (adenosine and waiting time) and late PVR (at repeat) …

Long-term outcome of pulmonary vein isolation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and Brugada syndrome Open

Giacomo Mugnai, Burak Hünük, Erwin Ströker, Diego Ruggiero, Hugo Enrique Coutiño-Moreno , et al. · 2017

Catheter ablation is a valid therapeutic choice for patients with BS and paroxysmal AF considering the high success rates, the limitations of the AADs and the safety of the procedure, and it should be taken into consideration especially in…

Second generation cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation in young adults: midterm outcome in patients under 40 years of age Open

Darragh Moran, Valentina De Regibus, Carlo de Asmundis, Ken Takarada, Giacomo Mugnai , et al. · 2016

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been demonstrated more effective in young patients, in which the substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF) is probably more confined to pulmonary vein potentials. The present study sought to focus on the mid…
