Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has become an accepted therapeutic strategy for AF.1 The cryoballoon (CB) ablation system has been introduced into clinical practice as a tool for a single-shot anatomical based-PVI, and a comparable efficacy of the CB ablation to radiofrequency (RF) ablation has been demonstrated in a prospective randomised study.2–4
The recently introduced second-generation CB …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a fivefold increased risk for stroke, a twofold increased risk for dementia, and a tripling of risk for heart failure,1,2,3 while AF genetic risk is strongly associated with cardioembolic stroke.4In the Framingham Heart Study the percentage of strokes attributable to AF increases steeply from 1.5% at 50–59 years of age to 23.5% at 80−89 years of age.5,6…

In this short interview, Dr Jeff Healey (McMaster University, Hamilton, CA) talks about the key data from the ATLAS (Avoid Transvenous Leads in Appropriate Subjects) trial (NCT02881255).The aim of the study was to compare standard, single chamber transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) to sub-cutaneous ICD (S-ICD) (Boston Scientific EMBLEM) in occurrence of perioperative and long term device related…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and the prevalence is increasing every year; it is expected to affect 12 million Americans by the year 2030.1 A significant portion of patients fail to maintain sinus rhythm with use of anti-arrhythmic drug therapy and are referred for catheter ablation. Ablation is currently indicated for patients with paroxysmal (class I) or…

Catheter ablation is an effective strategy to maintain sinus rhythm in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), which has evolved from a highly specialised technique to a first-line therapy.1–3 The cornerstone of ablation is pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).4 Over the last decade, ablation devices have undergone technical improvements, aiming for better lesion durability and ablation…

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is one of the most challenging medical conditions faced by cardiac patients and physicians treating them. Antiarrhythmic medications have limited effectiveness and are frequently poorly tolerated.1–4 Catheter ablation is increasingly used to treat patients successfully.1,5–7 Most VTs can be ablated endocardially but some require epicardial mapping and ablation…

The number of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) has increased progressively during the past decades, with a parallel increase in the demand for transvenous lead extraction (TLE). Indication and class of recommendation for TLE have been extensively discussed in a recent expert consensus document.1 With the exception of a few prospectively conducted registries,2,3 the vast…
