Aim of this study was to compare a minimally fluoroscopic radiofrequency catheter ablation with conventional fluoroscopy-guided for supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) in terms ionizing radiation exposure patient and operator estimate patients' lifetime attributable risks associated such exposure.We performed prospective, multicentre, randomized controlled trial six electrophysiology (EP) laboratories Italy. A total 262 patients undergoing EP studies SVT were perform approach (MFA)...
Background— Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) has a low sensitivity. Electroanatomic voltage mapping (EVM) is effective in guiding EMB thanks to its ability identifying and locating low-voltage regions. The analysis of unipolar EVM can correlate with epicardial pathological involvement. We evaluated the areas determine whether it increase sensitivity diagnosing diseases. Methods Results— performed endocardial bipolar EVM-guided EMBs 29 patients we analyzed at withdrawal sites. Eighty myocardial...
Background Only a few studies have systematically evaluated fluoroscopy data of electrophysiological and device implantation procedures. Aims this study were to quantify ionizing radiation exposure for electrophysiological/device procedures in large series patients analyze the x‐ray trend over years undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation considering different technical aspects. Methods Results We performed retrospective analysis all during past 7 modern, large‐volume laboratory. reported...
The RADIANCE first-in-man study evaluated acute (3-month) safety and design concept in terms of utility a new multi-electrode radiofrequency (RF) balloon catheter (HELIOSTAR, Biosense Webster) to achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). After conclusion, subset patients was followed up 12 months.Patients with drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were enrolled. Neurological assessment, cardiac cerebral magnetic resonance imagings performed pre post procedure. Ablation delivered at 15...
Catheter ablation is superior to drugs regarding atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence, symptoms improvement, and mortality reduction in heart failure. POLARx™ a novel cryoballoon, with technical improvements seeking improve outcomes. So far, its clinical evidence restricted case report.To compare the cryoballoon procedural safety efficacy already established Arctic Front Advance PRO™ (AFAP) single-center cohort study, consecutive patients undergoing AF cryoablation were enrolled. Data...
Abstract We report the case of a 36‐year‐old woman who presented to emergency department complaining palpitations and asthenia. Investigations showed frequent ventricular ectopy severe left ejection fraction impairment. She was diagnosed with peculiar condition defined multifocal ectopic premature Purkinje‐related contractions syndrome, which in some cases can be associated dilated cardiomyopathy phenotype. Genetic testing novel mutation SCN5A gene (c.673C > G). In context acute...
Abstract Pulmonary vein isolation and left atrial posterior wall ablation using the Farapulse system, followed by appendage occlusion, have been achieved as single combined procedure to treat long‐standing persistent fibrillation in a patient at high hemorrhagic risk.
Abstract Background Aim of the study was to collect and describe a case series consecutive master athletes in whom an anomalous origin left circumflex artery (LCx) from right sinus Valsalva (ALCx) detected at clinically indicated coronary computed tomography angiography CCTA) establish focused clinical management counseling about sport activity those subjects. Methods We analyzed prospective registry subjects referred CCTA. Information status obtained by previous records evaluation time...
Introduction: Ventricular tachycardia or frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) can occur in the absence of any detectable structural heart disease. In this clinical setting, these arrhythmias are termed idiopathic. Usually, they carry a benign prognosis and potential ablative intervention is carried out if patients highly symptomatic or, more importantly, lead to dysfunction. Methods: paper, different forms idiopathic reviewed. Outflow tract from right ventricle most form...
We report the case of a 63-year-old woman affected by severe form systemic scleroderma with pulmonary involvement (interstitial fibrosis diagnosed biopsy and moderate hypertension) cardiac (paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, right flutter treated catheter ablation, ventricular tachyarrhythmias, previous dual chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator implant). Because recurrent electrical storms refractory to iv antiarrhythmic drugs patient was referred our institution undergo ablation....
Abstract Background In the last years, concept of reinterpretation genetic testing has been considered as part diagnostic workflow. However, this process requires time, expert curators and new pieces evidence to evaluate, functional studies, segregation allele frequency data. Last year, European Society Cardiology (ESC) published guidelines for management cardiomyopathies. This document includes a precise list genes associated with different types Cardiomyopathies their level contribution,...
