Because of the technical difficulty with achieving pulmonary vein (PV) isolation in treatment patients paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, novel catheter designs to facilitate procedure are development. A visually guided laser ablation (VGLA) was designed allow operator directly visualize target tissue for and then deliver energy perform point-to-point circumferential ablation. Single-center studies have demonstrated favorable safety efficacy. We sought determine multicenter feasibility,...
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) remain a challenging problem in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).This study aimed to determine whether ranolazine administration decreases the likelihood of VT, VF, or death an ICD.This was double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial which high-risk ICD ischemic nonischemic cardiomyopathy were randomized 1,000 mg twice day placebo. The primary endpoint VT VF requiring appropriate therapy death,...
Visually guided laser balloon (VGLB) ablation is unique in that the operator delivers ablative energy under direct visual guidance. In this multicenter study, we sought to determine feasibility, efficacy, and safety of performing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using VGLB.Patients with symptomatic, drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) underwent PVI VGLB majority operators conducting their first-ever clinical cases. The primary effectiveness endpoint was defined as freedom from...
Introduction: Despite the great success in treating AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with radiofrequency modification of node, dimensions electrophysiologic circuit this arrhythmia remain unclear, and simple models fail to explain all tachycardia‐related phenomena. Methods Results: We describe three unusual cases supraventricular (SVT). In cases, retrograde atrial activation during ventricular pacing or SVT manifested local left electrograms recorded from coronary sinus preceding...
