A novel ablation system consisting of a duty-cycled phased radiofrequency generator and multielectrode mapping and ablation catheters has been introduced to provide ablation therapy in patients ...

A novel three-catheter radiofrequency ablation system has been reported to reduce procedure time, but maintain ablation success rates, in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation. The findings ...

Prospective studies need to clarify whether procedural and outcome characteristics using this novel ablation system may be less dependent on operator's experience.

Will pharmacological therapies continue to have an important place in the management of atrial fibrillation? To date, all studies that have compared ablation with antiarrhythmic drug therapy have ...

If you’re one of the 2.7 million Americans who live with atrial fibrillation — a tricky ... The catheter emits a pulse of painless radio-frequency energy that destroys the abnormal tissue ...

Headlining the year’s developments were studies of catheter ablation and concomitant use of LAAO in patients with AF.

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) could soon account for the majority of electrophysiology procedures to treat atrial fibrillation ... up from 39% this year. Radiofrequency ablation, currently the ...

Dr. Robert Ward prepares part of the FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System for a pulsed field ablation procedure to treat a patient with atrial fibrillation at Mayo Clinic Hospital, Saint Marys ...

The FIRE AND ICE trial demonstrated the noninferiority of cryoballoon ablation compared with radiofrequency ablation in patients with drug-refractory paroxysmal AF. Left atrial appendage closure ...

A new treatment for atrial fibrillation is available to cardiac patients at OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital. Pulsed field ablation (PFA), which uses shorts bursts of high energy to neutralize abnormal ...

Furthermore, a metal occluder would obstruct future access to the left atrium in interventional treatments such as catheter ablation for AF, mitral valve clamping, and left atrial appendage occlusion.

"Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is an effective strategy ... catheter ablation was performed in 40.9% of the patients, with radiofrequency ablation used in 59.4% and cryoablation ...
