Robotic Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Robotic Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with an ablation catheter is a curative treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). Robotic catheter systems aim to improve catheter steerability. Here, a procedure with a new robotic catheter system is presented. The goal of the procedure is electrical block between pulmonary vein and left...

Benefits of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in an Asynchronous Heart Failure Model Induced by Left Bundle Branch Ablation and Rapid Pacing

Benefits of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in an Asynchronous Heart Failure Model Induced by Left Bundle Branch Ablation and Rapid Pacing

The establishment of a chronic asynchronous heart failure (HF) model by rapid pacing combined with left bundle branch ablation is presented. Two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging and aortic velocity time integral are applied to validate this stable HF model with left ventricular asynchrony and the benefits of cardiac resynchronization...

Production of Metal Nanoparticles by Pulsed Laser-ablation in Liquids: A Tool for Studying the Antibacterial Properties of Nanoparticles

Production of Metal Nanoparticles by Pulsed Laser-ablation in Liquids: A Tool for Studying the Antibacterial Properties of Nanoparticles

The antimicrobial properties of metals such as copper and silver have been recognized for centuries. This protocol describes pulsed laser-ablation in liquids, a method of synthesizing metal nanoparticles that provides the ability to fine tune the properties of these nanoparticles to optimize their antimicrobial...

Targeted Laser Ablation in the Embryo of Saccharina latissima

The destruction of specific cells in the embryo is a powerful tool for studying cellular interactions involved in cell fate. The present protocol describes techniques for the laser ablation of targeted cells in the early embryo of the brown alga Saccharina...

Focal Laser Ablation of Prostate Cancer: An Office Procedure

Focal Laser Ablation of Prostate Cancer: An Office Procedure

This article presents and describes an outpatient treatment for prostate cancer using focal laser ablation. Laser catheter placement is guided by MRI-ultrasound fusion imaging in a fashion similar to prostate needle biopsy. Treatment is monitored in real-time with a thermal probe, placed adjacent to the laser fiber.

Summary

Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) for atrial fibrillation may impact adjacent persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), potentially treating PLSVC-related triggers without direct ablation in the PLSVC.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Electrophysiology
Medical Devices

Background:

Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a known source of atrial fibrillation triggers.
Limited data exists on pulsed-field ablation (PFA) in patients with PLSVC.

Keywords:

persistent left superior vena cava persistent left superior vena cava isolation pulsed-field ablation transmural attenuation
