Background. Cardiac arrhythmias are common in pregnant women. In most cases, they do not require treatment other than rest, electrolyte supplementation and avoidance of strong coffee tea. Persistent arrhythmia or the ventricular rate running at a high frequency may cause hemodynamic deterioration fetus both mother.Objectives. The aim this study was to assess prevalence characteristics women who qualified for ablation as well feasibility specific features these interventions.Material Methods....
Development of electroanatomical systems make it possible to perform ablations without the use fluoroscopy. The aim this study was evaluate efficacy and safety cryoablation pro-cedures fluoroscopy.The group consisted 45 patients (14 female; age 36 ± 15 years) treated with cry-oablation using EnSite system: 10 ventricular extrasystoly from right ventricle, 6 arrhythmogenic site near left coronary artery, 17 Wolff-Parkinson- -White syndrome (WPW), 2 atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia...
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is a first-line therapy for patients withdrug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF). Complete isolation of electrical potentials at the ostium pulmonary vein (PV) challenging procedure. There are different techniques and devicesused PV (PVI). The objective this study was to evaluate efficacy safety (PVAC).A total 67 consecutive with paroxysmal persistent AF were treated PVAC. patients' information obtained from clinical charts. Follow-up by one day Holter...
Catheter ablation (CA) is a safe and efficient treatment in patients with an atrioventricular accessory pathway (AP). Electroanatomical mapping (EAM) systems are useful during CA of AP, especially for reducing fluoroscopy. There limited data about the feasibility procedures performed use EAM system entirely without fluoroscopy adults AP. The aim study to assess feasibility, efficacy safety fluoroscopy, compared included 83 consecutive (age 38.25 ± 15.8 years), who were subjected In 40 was...
Our aim was to compare in a prospective randomized study the safety, direct results and periprocedural data of ablation using an nMARQ catheter, PVAC catheter used with EnSite system, or only under fluoroscopy control.One hundred two patients (70 male, 57 ±11 years) atrial fibrillation (AF) were prospectively to: group 1 - performed CARTO 3 system; 2 without 3D system.Complete isolation 400/402 pulmonary veins (PV) (99.5%). Linear 23 (small distance between lines isolating PV), 2, patient 3....
Background: Catheter ablation (CA) has become safe and efficient for the treatment of patients with ventricular extrasystolic beats (VEBs). The three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping (EAM) system allows elimination fluoroscopy time during CA procedures. Non-fluoroscopy is a challenging procedure requiring intimate knowledge cardiac anatomy in VEBs. study aimed to evaluate efficacy safety non-fluoroscopy using EAM Methods: Completely fluoroless VEBs guided by was performed 86% (94 out 109)...
Background: The three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping (EAM) system allows performing catheter ablation (CA) without fluoroscopy in patients with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) location is favorable for zero-fluoroscopy CA. Non-RVOT CA a challenging procedure. study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using EAM PVCs from RVOT non-RVOT. Methods: Completely guided by was performed 107 PVCs. 54 underwent remaining 53 non-RVOT...
Catheter ablation (CA) is the standard treatment for patients with symptomatic, idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs): premature contractions (PVCs) or sustained/non-sustained tachycardia. Three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping (3D EAM) systems enable accurate of cardiac and precise catheter guidance, eliminating need radiation exposure. However, fluoroscopy may be required to pass through arteries, valve, positioning near critical structures. The study assessed feasibility, efficacy,...

Background: Increased resting heart rate (RHR) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common observation, possibly resulting from ganglionated plexus modification during ablation. Previous trials have suggested that an increase in RHR ablation might be related to higher efficacy the procedure. The aim this study was determine whether or not radiofrequency (RF) PVI predict better long-term outcome procedure real-life cohort patients whom index...
Background. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common clinical problem. The left atrium anatomy makes up factor that may significantly affect the effectiveness of AF ablation.Objectives. aim study was to evaluate long-term ablation in patients with pulmonary vein trunk (CPVT) and AF.Material Methods. outcomes 129 procedures 95 CPVT out 1,475 carried 1,150 treated ablation, were analyzed. Ablation CARTO 3 system (Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, USA), cryoballoon, circular multipolar duty-cycled...
We present the first Polish experience with ablation performed using DiamondTemp catheter. The study was conducted 3 male patients diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF). In 2 typical transseptal punctures were performed, followed by mapping Advisor catheter and EnSite-Precision system. One patient had a residual septal leak, therefore without fluoroscopy attempted. High-power, short-duration under temperature control around pulmonary vein (PV) ostia. power 49-53 W, 45-48 ͦC. Duration of...
We present a clinical case of 57-year-old patient with Brugada syndrome (BS), who presented electrocardiographical features BS type 2 in course fever due to respiratory tract infection. Upon administration flecainide ST segment elevation 1 was induced. As the had no symptoms and spontaneous abnormalities segment, he did not receive an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are at increased risk of stroke and systemic thromboembolism prevention such episodes is ensured by choosing appropriate anticoagulation. In paroxysmal drug‐refractory AF, catheter ablation the recommended choice treatment. The decision on whether to stop administration oral anticoagulant before procedures often unclear. We present case a 67‐year‐old hypertensive woman 5‐year history symptomatic, who was admitted for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI)...
Introduction The energy applied under temperature control(TC) has more predictable effect than the one power control. currently introduced cooled-tip DiamondTemp catheter(DT) restores ability to adjust RF-power at electrode-tissue interface. It also enables high-power(HP) ablation procedures. Our aim: assess how often with TC 50W nominal setting meets HP criteria. We analyzed influence of learning curve on results. Material and methods course 3350 applications performed using DT in 20pts...
We are presenting the ablation of parasympathetic ganglia in atria as a new method treatment vasovagal and other neurocardiogenic syncope. This method, shifting balance autonomic nervous system sympathetic direction, is directed to immediate cause syncope which excessive activation vagus nerve. Its effectiveness annual observation within 80-100%. offers great chance improve quality life patients with reflex what have not been prevented by conventional treatment.
Background: Concentration of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) might be useful in selecting patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) who will benefit the most from pulmonary vein isolation.
Background Our aim was to determine if there is a difference in demand for analgesic and sedative medication according the type of catheter ablation atrial fibrillation (AF).
