EP Lab Digest - Radiofrequency Ablation
|
|
Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure used to treat some types of rapid heartbeat; radiofrequency energy is transmitted, which stops the area in the heart from conducting the extra impulses that caused the rapid heartbeats. EP Lab Digest has covered many facets of this procedure. Feel free to browse through our collection of articles.

Cooled Tip Catheter Ablation
Cooled Tip Catheter Ablation Features: Cooled Tip Catheter Ablation - Linda Moulton Just over a decade ago, the advent of tip temperature monitoring during radiofrequency (RF) energy delivery marked the beginning of a second generation of ablation catheter technology and furthered the success of catheter ablation as a therapeutic tool. Temperature-controlled irrigated tip radiofrequency catheter ablation: Comparison of in vivo and in vitro lesion dimensions for standard catheter and ...

Use of Intracardiac Echocardiography During Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: Maximizing Safety and Efficacy
Catheter ablation can offer a cure for many patients with atrial fibrillation.1?4 Current approaches generate a lesion set utilizing radiofrequency (RF) energy that can eliminate the triggers of atrial fibrillation, modify the substrate in the left atrium, and electrically isolate the pulmonary veins.

Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation Using Linear Radiofrequency Ablation
Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation Using Linear Radiofrequency Ablation Corporate Profile: Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation Using Linear Radiofrequency Ablation - Mathew R. Williams, MD Surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most effective therapy for the treatment of this morbid arrhythmia. In order for a patient to undergo an ablation for atrial fibrillation, the patient must be having a cardiac procedure that requires the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, ...

Acute Right Coronary Artery Occlusion Following Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Flutter
We report the first known case of acute right coronary artery occlusion following radiofrequency (RF) ablation for atrial flutter in a patient without known prior coronary disease. Our patient developed acute chest pain and inferior ST-segment elevation immediately following the procedure. Emergent cardiac catheterization was performed, revealing an occluded distal right coronary artery, which was immediately stented. Acute coronary occlusion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients, with or without coronary artery disease, who experience chest pain following RF ablation for atrial flutter.
