Virtual reality in interventional electrophysiology.
There are 2 principal components to any cardiac intervention: definition of the shape, location, and functional anatomy of a target and precisely located delivery of therapy. As tools for catheter-based electrophysiological (EP) intervention become more potent, it is important to ensure that the technologies used to visualize the target and guide their application are of comparable power. In th...
متن کاملInterventional electrophysiology in patients with congenital heart disease.
On August 26, 1938, Dr Robert Gross performed the first successful surgery for a congenital heart defect by closing a patent ductus arteriosus in a 7-year-old girl. The event marked the beginning of an interventional approach to congenital heart disease (CHD) that forever banished the sort of pessimism expressed by Dr Holt in his classic pediatric textbook only 5 years earlier.1 Subsequent diag...
متن کاملMultifunctional interventional devices for MRI: a combined electrophysiology/MRI catheter.
The design and application of a two-wire electrophysiology (EP) catheter that simultaneously records the intracardiac electrogram and receives the MR signal for active catheter tracking is described. The catheter acts as a long loop receiver, allowing for visualization of the entire catheter length while simultaneously behaving as a traditional two-wire EP catheter, allowing for intracardiac el...
متن کاملInterventional Electrophysiology in Children: A Single-Center Experience
OBJECTIVE Ablation techniques of cardiac arrhythmia in children have significantly progressed in the past decade; however, the number of pediatric ablations is still significantly lower than that in adults. Accordingly, there is less information regarding the success rate and complications in this age group. METHODS All pediatric ablations conducted between March 2005 and February 2011 at Raj...
متن کاملNon-fluoroscopic Catheter Tracking for Fluoroscopy Reduction in Interventional Electrophysiology
A technological platform (MediGuide) has been recently introduced for non-fluoroscopic catheter tracking. In several studies, we have demonstrated that the application of this non-fluoroscopic catheter visualization system (NFCV) reduces fluoroscopy time and dose by 90-95% in a variety of electrophysiology (EP) procedures. This can be of relevance not only to the patients, but also to the nurse...
