AimsThe second-generation cryoballoon (Arctic Front Advance™) (Arc-Adv-CB) has a redesigned injection system which distributes the refrigerant homogenously to frontal balloon surface. The aim of this study was compare efficacy and safety Arc-Adv-CB its predecessor Front™) (Arc-CB) in patients who underwent pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF).
Atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATa) during the blanking period (BP) may predict late recurrences of arrhythmia. This study evaluates outcomes redo procedures BP in patients with early recurrence after catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF). retrospective included undergoing within 3 months their initial CA due to severely symptomatic ATa episodes. Baseline data, medications, and procedural details CAs were analyzed from medical records. Among 64 patients, 37 underwent cryoballoon (CB)...
Midventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (MVOHCM) poses significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment because of its unique anatomical hemodynamic characteristics. Traditional interventions, such as alcohol septal ablation surgical myectomy, are associated with complications technical difficulties, prompting the search for alternative options. This study aimed to assess safety, feasibility, efficacy polidocanol patients symptomatic MVOHCM. Polidocanol was utilized a novel...
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is not as successful paroxysmal AF, and recent data indicate the key role of non-PV triggers. We aimed to assess long-term safety efficacy left appendage (LAAi) an adjunct PVI using cryoballoon (CB) AF.We compared 144 AF patients (59 ± 10 years, 51% females) who underwent combined with LAAi a propensity-score matched cohort 138 6 52% female) whom PVI-only was performed. Baseline follow-up including...
Percutaneous balloon pericardiotomy (PBP) has emerged as a less invasive alternative to surgical interventions for recurrent severe pericardial effusion (PE), particularly in patients with malignancies. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of PBP PE. A total 42 PE underwent between March 2008 July 2024. was performed under conscious sedation fluoroscopic guidance using 20-mm by 60-mm balloon. Data were collected on patient demographics, echocardiographic findings, procedural details,...
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the effect trans-tricuspid placement permanent pacemaker (PPM), implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) leads prospectively on tricuspid valve right-sided heart functions using two-dimensional echocardiography. Methods: A total 41 patients (31 male, mean age: 63.6 ± 12.2 years) were included in prospective study. Initial echocardiographic evaluation performed before device implantation...
The awareness, time in therapeutic range (TTR), and safety of warfarin therapy were investigated the adult Turkish population.This multicenter prospective study includes 4987 patients using involved regular international normalized ratio (INR) monitoring between January 1, 2014 December 31, 2014. TTR was calculated according to F.R. Roosendaal's algorithm. Awareness evaluated based on patients' knowledge warfarin's affect food-drug interactions.The mean 49.52±22.93%. with hypertension...
We evaluated immediate and midterm results of transcatheter closure atrial septal defects (ASDs) patent foramen ovale (PFO) using various devices.The study included four hundred fourteen patients (one eighty-two men, two thirty-two women; mean age 39 ± 12.3 years; range 17-67 years) who underwent secundum ASD (n = 193) or PFO 221). All the were by transthoracic echocardiography transesophageal before procedure. Transcatheter was performed Amplatzer 184), Occlutech Figulla 209), BioSTAR 21)...
Studies have demonstrated a consistent relationship between white blood cell (WBC) counts and coronary artery disease (CAD). The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been considered as potential marker for identifying individuals under risk of CAD associated events. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether NLR was with the severity morphology atherosclerotic plaques shown by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).Our study population consisted 684 patients who underwent dual-source 64...
We aimed to investigate whether non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD) is associated with epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), which a kind of ectopic fat accumulation, and aortic intima-media thickness (aIMT), subclinical atherosclerosis.Fifty-four patients NAFPD (22 men; mean age: 52 ± 10 years) 49 without (16 8 were included in this study. aIMT evaluated using transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS). EAT was transthoracic echocardiography.EAT (6.09 1.52 mm 3.87 1.31 mm, p < 0.001) [1.12...
Atrial tachycardia (AT) is a commonly encountered rhythm disorder in patients with underlying atrial scar. The role of late activation mapping during sinus to predict the critical isthmus (CI) AT has yet be systematically evaluated. We aimed investigate relationship between functional substrate (FSM) characteristics and CI reentrant ATs low-voltage areas.Patients history left who underwent catheter ablation 3D using high-density were enrolled. Voltage map isochronal created sinus/paced...
Previous studies showed that treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) significantly reduced the blood (BP) in hypertensive patients. We investigated predictors BP change normotensive patients OSAS who underwent CPAP. A total 24 (19 male; age: 48.7 ± 10.4 years) were enrolled. The 24-hour mean (24 hMBP), subjective sleepiness, fasting venous samples, and anthropometric measurements assessed at baseline, 6th week 12th CPAP treatment....
Abstract Background Immediate hemostasis following removal of sheaths is essential to prevent access site complications after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Despite various precautions achieve complete in a safe and effective manner, no standard approach present yet. Objective We aimed compare the efficacy safety vs modified figure‐of‐eight (sFoE mFoE) suture for immediate venous cryoballoon (CB) AF Methods A total 150 patients who underwent CB catheter ablation were sequentially...
There is an increasing trend evaluating the role of non-pulmonary vein (PV) triggers to improve ablation outcomes in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) as pulmonary isolation (PVI) strategy alone has modest outcomes. We investigated long-term safety and efficacy left appendage (LAAi) addition PVI using cryoballoon (CB) AF.In this multicentre retrospective analysis, we included a total 193 AF patients (mean age: 60 ± 11 years, 50.3% females) who underwent LAAi CB. Baseline follow-up data...
Objective In this study, we investigated the association between cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and coronary atherosclerotic plaque (CAP) burden/subtypes shown by multidetector computed tomography in symptomatic patients free of known artery disease (CAD). Methods 662 consecutive outpatients (56.9±10.7 years, 50.8% men) without CAD, 64-slice angiography was performed for detection CAD. Risk estimation CV outcomes assessed using Systematic Coronary Evaluation (SCORE) Framingham Score (FRS)....
