Ventricular arrhythmias are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and come in a
variety of forms, from single premature ventricular complexes to sustained ventricular …

This study provides a review of the contemporary literature for the effects of most commonly
used anesthetic drugs for sedation and anesthesia during adult electrophysiologic (EP) …

Compared to conscious sedation (CS), the use of general anesthesia (GA) in pulmonary
vein isolation (PVI) is associated with a lower recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation (AF). GA …

Background. Catheter ablation has become a widely applied intervention for treating
symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), which can be performed under general anesthesia (GA) …

Abstract Every year, 80,000–100,000 ablation procedures take place in the United States
and approximately 1% of these involve paediatric patients. As the paediatric population …

Background Catheter ablation of hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT) is
possible with mechanical circulatory support (MCS), little is known regarding the relative …

Administration of intravenous sedation (IVS) has become an integral component of
procedural cardiac electrophysiology. IVS is employed in diagnostic and ablation …

Background: The demand for transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has increased. In line with
this, the safety of such procedures has also increased. Traditionally, TLE is performed under …

Immobilization of patients during electrophysiological procedures, to avoid complications by
patients' unexpected bodily motion, is achieved by moderate to deep conscious sedation …

Background Left atrial ablation can be accompanied by discomfort or pain. The purpose of
this study was to systematically compare pain reactions during ablation of atrial fibrillation …
