..Aim: To test whether MCE allows visualization of RF and cryo ablation lesions in the human right atrium using three-dimensional echocardiography...

..Currently, the interatrial septum (IAS) pacing site is indirectly selected by fluoroscopy and P-wave analysis. The aim of the present study was to develop a novel approach for IAS pacing using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE)...

..Early Repolarization in Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy. ..

..The use of the magnetic navigation system offers advantages in complex anatomic situations...

..In this study we compared remote magnetic navigation (RMN), using non-irrigated and irrigated tip catheters, to manual radiofrequency ablation for ablating typical atrial flutter...

..Three-dimensional intracardiac echocardiography can be used to guide IAS pacing. SF pacing was associated with a greater decrease in P wave duration, suggesting that it is a preferable location to decrease interatrial conduction delay...

..Remote Magnetic Navigation for VT Ablation...

..Cryoablation (cryo) has the potential to assess the safety of a site before the energy is applied...

..After implantation of an AAI pacemaker, his symptoms and signs of cardiomyopathy were fully recovered...

..The aim of this study was, therefore, to investigate ICD indications and outcomes in NCCM patients...

..When performed manually, these techniques are equally effective. The aim of this prospective randomized study was to compare these approaches using a magnetic navigation system (MNS) (Niobe, Stereotaxis, St. Louis, MO, USA)...

..The MNS has the potential for improving safety and efficacy based on atraumatic catheter design and superior navigation capabilities...

..We aimed to determine whether the absence of contractile reserve assessed by low dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (LDDSE) could identify those patients whose left ventricular (LV) function deteriorates after AV node ablation...

..We assessed the lowest effective defibrillation (LED) level at implantation and before hospital discharge and related this to outcome...

..Tools specifically designed for intracardiac diagnosis and therapy in anatomically complex and/or small hearts remain scarce...

..A totally subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) system has been developed. We report the initial clinical experience of the first 31 patients implanted at our hospital...

..The purpose of this study was to investigate the time course of the temperature during ice mapping of accessory pathways...

..The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics, the acute procedure success rate, and the long-term survival of patients who underwent an ablation procedure for OTT or VPBs...

..01 and p = 0.04). In conclusion, our data have strongly suggested that using the MNS for treating young children is advantageous, because it significantly reduced the procedure and fluoroscopy times without compromising efficacy...

..Little data are available regarding the prognostic value of hs-CRP and BNP serum levels and future ventricular arrhythmic events triggering implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy...

..Our initial results suggest that fast reconstruction of the LV is feasible for the selection of the optimal pacing site and allows identifying LV segments with dyssynchrony...

..Remote magnetic navigation (RMN) is considered to be a solution for mapping and ablation of several arrhythmias. In this systematic review we aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of RMN in ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT)...

..Effective treatment is therefore essential. The aim of the study is to evaluate long-term outcome of ablative therapy of AT in ToF patients and to study characteristics of AT recurrences...

..After the ablation of both intra-atrial connections, we also ablated the index arrhythmia in the recipient remnant atrium. This case presentation draws attention to the possibility of the presence of multiple intra-atrial connections...

..The aim of this study was to provide insight in the success rate and the incidence of recurrences...

..The second aim of the study was to analyse the influence of patch positions on the efficacy of defibrillation...

..New developments are being made to allow fully remote ablation procedures in combination with the MNS. However, new technologies are still necessary to improve MNS ablation for AF...

....

..It then proved possible to ablate successfully the tachycardia in the left atrium thanks to the unique capabilities of the magnetic navigation system...

..Transcatheter ablation procedure of the AVNRT was undertaken using the MNS, with a non-traumatic single floppy catheter and the capability of advanced navigation...

..Chronic right ventricular apical pacing may have detrimental effect on left ventricular function and may promote to heart failure in adult patients with left ventricular dysfunction...

..CONCLUSION: 3D echocardiography with appropriate analytic software allows detection of the most delayed LV contracting segment and can be used to select the optimal pacing site during resynchronization therapy...

..The focus of the tachycardia was identical to the ventricular site of insertion of the eliminated accessory pathway...

..This is the first report, we believe, of successful SN modification for IST by endocardial cryoablation, although this case also demonstrates the considerable risk of right phrenic nerve paralysis even with this ablation energy...

..Right ventricular apical pacing can be detrimental to LV function in a significant number of adults. Effects in children are still controversial...

..The aim of the study is to test the feasibility of ice mapping during tachycardias involving arrhythmia substrate located in close proximity to the AV node...
