The number of catheter ablations for atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment has gradually increased over the last 15 years since the first report on the importance of pulmonary vein (PV) foci for triggering AF.1 Catheter ablation for AF is a complex procedure with multiple steps, such as transseptal puncture, mapping of the left atrium and PVs and extensive linear ablation around PV ostia.

A New Era in Zero X-ray Ablation
Author(s): Giuseppe Mascia , Marzia Giaccardi Added: 3 years ago
X-rays used in interventional cardiology are proven (class I) carcinogens, and the electrophysiology community should make every effort to give “the right imaging exam, with the right dose, to the right patient”.1 This may be an effective strategy for the primary prevention of cancer for physicians, medical staff and patients (particularly children, young adults and women).2 The impact of X-rays… View more

Catheter ablation is an established treatment option for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF).1-3 Pulmonary vein (PV) angiography has been the initial imaging tool in AF ablation and is still used by up to 50 % of leading electrophysiologists.3 PV angiography still plays a major role in balloon-based ablation techniques routinely performed without electroanatomical mapping (EAM)… View more

Percutaneous catheter treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) has seen an exponential uptake since the first cases were published exactly two decades ago.1 Evolving over different approaches and treatment strategies, current standard of care consists of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) through radiofrequency (RF) or other energy sources. While this treatment has been shown to be superior to… View more

Over the last 20 years ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation has evolved from a treatment modality for selected patients withrecurrent haemodynamically tolerated VT (which can be mapped during ongoing arrhythmia), to a therapeutic option for patients with tolerated and untolerated VT using substrate-based ablation strategies.1 The substrate for VT after myocardial infarction (MI) consists of… View more

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… View more
