Background— Left atrioesophageal fistula is a rare but devastating complication that may occur after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. We used capsule endoscopy to assess esophageal injury for fibrillation in population randomized undergo general anesthesia or conscious sedation. Methods and Results— Fifty patients undergoing paroxysmal symptomatic refractory antiarrhythmic drugs were enrolled randomized, including those the procedure under (25 patients, group 1) receiving sedation...
Popping, char and perforation are complications that can occur following catheter ablation. We measured the amount of grams (g) applied to endocardium during ablation using a sensor incorporated in long sheath robotic system. evaluated relationship between lesion formation, pressure, development complications.Using navigation system, lesions were placed left atrium (LA) at six settings, constant duration (40 seconds) flow rate either 17 cc/min or 30 with an open irrigated (OIC). Evidence was...
The effects of loading doses statins on clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and planned invasive management remain uncertain.To determine if periprocedural atorvastatin decrease 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) ACS management.Multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial conducted at 53 sites Brazil among 4191 evaluated angiography to proceed a percutaneous intervention (PCI) anatomically feasible. Enrollment occurred between...
The PCSK9 antibody alirocumab (75 mg every 2 weeks; Q2W) as monotherapy reduced low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels by 47%. Because the option of a monthly dosing regimen is convenient, ODYSSEY CHOICE II evaluated 150 Q4W in patients with inadequately controlled hypercholesterolemia and not on statin (majority statin-associated muscle symptoms), receiving treatment fenofibrate, ezetimibe, or diet alone.Patients were randomly assigned to placebo, 75 Q2W (calibrator arm), dose...

Introduction: Evaluation of luminal temperature during left atrial ablation is used clinically; however, does not necessarily reflect within the esophageal wall and poses a risk atrioesophageal fistula. This animal study evaluates its relation to external tissue lesions using 8 mm solid tip open irrigated catheters (OIC). Methods Results: A thermocouple was secured surface esophagus at level atrium dogs. Luminal measured standard probe. In four randomized dogs, were placed an catheter. six...
Ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) requires energy delivery in close proximity to the esophagus (Eso) which has accounted LA-Eso fistula, a rare but life-threatening complication.We evaluated an Eso cooling system protect during RF ablation.An "in vitro" heart-Eso preparation was initially used test temperature-controlled fluid-circulating (EPSac [esophageal protective system]-RossHart Technologies Inc.) and expandable compliant sac cardiac (4 mm tip, perpendicular heart, 15 g pressure)...
The Calgary Syncope Symptom Score (CSSS) has been validated as a simple point score of historical features with high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis vasovagal syncope (VVS) in younger populations without evidence structural heart disease. Our purpose was to evaluate performance CSSS an elderly population suspected VVS. Hundred eighty patients ≥60 years age (mean 73.4 ± 7.8) clinical VVS were studied. (VVS ≥−2) calculated all prior undergoing head-up tilt test (HUT). A...
Systemic hypertension is an important public health problem and a significant cause of cardiovascular mortality. Its high prevalence the low rates blood pressure control have resulted in search for alternative therapeutic strategies. Percutaneous renal sympathetic denervation emerged as perspective treatment patients with resistant hypertension.To evaluate feasibility safety using irrigated catheter.Ten underwent procedure. The primary endpoint was safety, assessed by periprocedural adverse...
OBJETIVO: A doença de Chagas constitui importante problema saúde pública global devido às mudanças nos padrões migratórios. O estudo eletrofisiológico é usualmente indicado na avaliação da função do nó sinusal, condução pelo atrioventricular e sistema His-Purkinje mecanismos das arritmias. objetivo deste foi descrever as características em pacientes com Chagas. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo descritivo 115 consecutivos submetidos ao últimos 3 anos centro terciário no Brasil. Características...
