The number of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations has increased over recent years. Transvenous lead extraction (TLE), as a part an overall management strategy, also been increasing, not only consequence this growth, but because increasing rates infection, failure, awareness indications for management, and development tools. Clinical research is essential understanding efficacy risks TLE.
Pacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators, and resynchronization therapy devices are potentially life-saving treatments for a number of conditions, but not without risk. Most concerning is the risk electronic device (CIED) infection, which associated with significant morbidity, increased hospitalizations, reduced survival, healthcare costs. Recommended preventive strategies such as administration intravenous antibiotics before implantation well recognized. Uncertainties have remained...

Routine ultrasound (US) guidance for femoral venous access to decrease vascular complications of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures has been advocated. However, the benefit not unequivocally demonstrated by randomized-trial data.Consecutive patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) on uninterrupted anticoagulant treatment were included. A quasi-random allocation either US-guided or conventional puncture group was based which two procedure rooms patient scheduled in, with...
Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection rates are increasing. Worldwide compliance and disparities to published guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis management of these conditions not well elucidated. The purpose this survey, therefore, was clarify issues through an inquiry arrhythmia-related associations societies worldwide.A questionnaire comprising 15 questions related CIED infections distributed among members seven arrhythmia worldwide. A total 234 centres in 62...
Three-dimensional (3D) speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) is a novel imaging modality for assessing cardiac function. We aimed to analyze left atrial (LA) function using 3DSTE in patients with fibrillation (AF).3DSTE was performed 20 prior their pulmonary vein isolation AF. Every patient underwent complete two-dimensional echocardiographic study at the same time. 3DSTE-derived circumferential (CS), longitudinal (LS), radial (RS), 3D (3DS), and area strain (AS) values were measured...
Egyre több vizsgálat eredménye utal a Purkinje-hálózat és Purkinje-myocardium-junctio szerepére malignus kamrai arrhythmiák kiváltásában. A bal distalis arborizációjának rádiófrekvenciás katéterablatiója befolyásolhatja kamrafibrilláció ismétlődését. Három beteg (mind férfi, életkor: 52 ± 6,6 év) esetében került sor amiodaron ellenére gyakran visszatérő miatt ablatiójára. Egyikük hypertrophiás, egy másik ischaemiás cardiomyopathiában szenvedett, harmadik idiopathiás volt diagnózis. célpont...
Abstract Background Better outcome has been suggested for repeat procedures after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, when recurrence presented as organized tachycardia (OAT) compared to recurrent AF. However, this contradicts the finding of more advanced remodeling in patients with OAT and may be related iatrogenesis by substrate modification during index procedure. Therefore, we examined prognostic significance type arrhythmia pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) without additional modification....
Abstract Introduction Restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm (SR) in the months before pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy may lead to a better outcome persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Amiodarone is only AAD that has been shown be effective not achieving control, but also reversing remodeling. It unknown, however if AF patients who convert upon amiodarone loading exhibit outcomes after ablation, compared those need electrical cardioversion (ECV)...
Abstract Background Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) systems are available in both single-chamber (SC) and dual-chamber (DC) configurations, with discrimination functions varying accordingly. Although expert opinion generally suggests that modern SC discriminators equipped morphology detection algorithms equally effective to DC tachyarrhythmia discrimination, only limited contradictory data available. In most previous reports the choice between or was determined by number of...
Abstract Introduction During the last decade, pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has become most effective treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation. However, success rates after first interventions were less favourable, creating durable PV proved to be a technological challenge, consequently, repeated (redo) often performed. Purpose Our objective was examine how proportions of redo PVIs and reconnection rate have evolved in practice our institution light techological evolution past...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and associated with an increased risk for stroke, heart failure cardiovascular-related mortality. Candidate targets anti-AF drugs include a potassium channel K(v)1.5, ionic currents I(KACh) late I(Na), along oxidative stress activation of NFAT-mediated gene transcription. As pharmacological management AF currently suboptimal, we have designed characterized multifunctional small molecule, compound 1 (C1), to target these ion...
Randomized Trial of ICE During CTI Ablation. Introduction: Despite a high success rate, radio‐frequency ablation (RFA) the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) can be unusually challenging in some cases. We postulated that visualization with intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) could maximize succes decrease procedure and time, minimize radiation exposure. Methods Results: In our prospective, randomized study, we included 102 patients scheduled for ablation. 2 groups: guided only by fluoroscopy (n =...
Termination of Persistent AF During Mapping. Complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) may represent critical areas for the maintenance fibrillation (AF). While organization and termination have been reported with CFAE ablation, no reports arrhythmia during left mapping exist. We report a case reproducible catheter pressure at site remote from AF.
