Percutaneous ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) was first attempted in 1983 and has rapidly evolved to become an important option for controlling recurrent VTs.1 Endocardial ablation remained the only percutaneous approach until epicardial access was introduced by Sosa et al. in 1996 and thereafter became progressively more available as an adjunctive strategy for the treatment of… View more

EHRA 23: BRUGADA Randomized: Epidcardial Ablation to Prevent Sudden Death
Author(s): Carlo Pappone Added: 1 year ago
EHRA 23 - We are joined onsite by Prof Carlo Pappone (IRCCS Policlinico San Donato, IT) who outlines the key findings of the BRUGADA Randomized trial. In a randomized controlled trial, 150 patients with Brugada syndrome were enrolled in to develop an evidence-based treatment for the condition. Patients were randomized in a 2:1 fashion to receive either catheter ablation treatment with an ICD, or… View more

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… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Author(s): Stylianos Tzeis , Dimitrios Asvestas , Panos Vardas Added: 3 years ago
AF is the most common cardiac arrhythmia with a complex and multifactorial pathophysiological background. In their seminal publication, Haissaguerre et al. shed light on the role of rapidly firing pulmonary vein sources in the initiation of AF paroxysms.1 Apart from the role of pulmonary vein-triggering foci, underlying electrical and structural remodelling also contributes to the onset and… View more

The discovery of focal ectopy in the pulmonary veins (PVs) initiating AF1 has resulted in electrical isolation of the PVs forming the mainstay of current treatment strategies. Success rates from PV isolation (PVI) for patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF) are approximately 70–75%. However, PVI is significantly less effective for those with persistent AF, in whom many studies quote single-procedure… View more

Hybrid Catheter-Based and Surgical Techniques for Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias
Author(s): Fouad Khalil , Konstantinos C Siontis , Gabor Bagameri , et al Added: 3 years ago
Catheter-based ablation has been a well-established tool in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT). However, the effectiveness of catheter ablation may be limited by its ability to access sites of arrhythmogenic tissue and achieve adequate lesion size in target areas without risking collateral damage. Antiarrhythmic surgery would be an effective alternative in such situations. Despite the… View more

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and VF occur mainly in people with impaired cardiac function and/or ischaemic heart disease, and account for the majority of sudden cardiac deaths worldwide.1 Treatment with anti-arrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone may be at best neutral in terms of mortality and carries significant long-term risks.2,3 While ICDs significantly improve survival for patients with… View more
