Catheter-mediated linear block in the atria.

To the Editor: In a recent issue of Circulation, Pappone et al1 report their experience with catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation using long atrial linear lesions. Because they emphasized their difficulty in assessing the completeness of lines, we would like to clear up certain misconceptions concerning this issue. First, the idea that the spatial continuity of marked lesional points indic...

The creation of linear contiguous lesions in the atria with an expandable loop catheter.

OBJECTIVES This article describes a catheter system designed to create linear atrial lesions and identifies electrophysiologic markers that are associated with the creation of linear lesions. BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is the most common arrhythmia in humans and causes a significant morbidity. The success of surgical interventions has provided the impetus for the development of a c...

Temporary, catheter-induced block in accessory pathways.

Catheter-induced conduction delay or block in the accessory atrioventricular pathway of four patients with the preexcitation syndrome was observed. Block in the accessory pathway occurred during routine catheter placement and lasted from 90 seconds--14 hours. All of the pathways were in locations readily accessible to catheter trauma, located in the right anterior septal/paraseptal area in thre...

Factors affecting basket catheter detection of real and phantom rotors in the atria: A computational study

Anatomically based procedures to ablate atrial fibrillation (AF) are often successful in terminating paroxysmal AF. However, the ability to terminate persistent AF remains disappointing. New mechanistic approaches use multiple-electrode basket catheter mapping to localize and target AF drivers in the form of rotors but significant concerns remain about their accuracy. We aimed to evaluate how e...
