In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

Atrioesophageal fistula is a life-threatening complication of ablation treatment for atrial
fibrillation. Methods to reduce the risk of esophageal injury have evolved over the last …

Background High-power, short duration (HPSD) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a
commonly used strategy for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Objectives This study sought to …

Ablation has become a cornerstone for the management of symptomatic atrial fibrillation
(AF) in patients where anti-arrhythmic drugs fail. Electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins …

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an important alternative to
antiarrhythmic drugs in the treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation. However, the inability …

Computed tomography (CT) images of stenotic pulmonary vein before (A) and after atrial
fibrillation catheter ablation (AFCA)(B). Kaplan–Meier curves for the cumulative incidence of …

Catheter Ablation (CA) is an effective therapeutic option in treating atrial fibrillation (AF).
Importantly, recent data show that CA as a rhythm control strategy not only significantly …

Introduction Catheter‐ablation (CA) of consecutive left atrial tachycardias (LAT) can be
challenging. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) yields a novel nonthermal CA technology for …

Background The newly introduced nonthermal pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a promising
technology to achieve fast pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with high acute success rates and …

Radiofrequency ablation is a promising technique for arrhythmia treatment in horses. Due to
the thicker myocardial wall and higher blood flow in horses, it is unknown if conventional …
