The Effects of Multiple Reprocessing of Radiofrequency Ablation Catheters on their Electrical Integrity
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a well-known procedure and first-line therapy for most tachyarrhythmias, including AV nodal reentrant tachycardia, WolffParkinson-White Syndrome, and atrial flutter [1,2]. During this procedure, catheters are introduced into the heart for mapping and ablation; the number of applications, duration, and temperature vary according to the procedure performed and ...

متن کاملReprocessing of Medical Products in Electrophysiology
Electrophysiological procedures use high-cost multipolar electrode catheters which can be reprocessed. The reuse thereof has been performed by electrophysiology services in Europe, United States, Latin America and also in our midst. In fact, prior studies have proved that there is an actual cost decrease1,2 and have also attested to the safety and efficacy of such practice,3-12 observing rates ...
متن کاملThe revised NASPE/BPEG generic code for antibradycardia, adaptive-rate, and multisite pacing. North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology/British Pacing and Electrophysiology Group.
In light of evolving pacemaker technology and increasing interest in multisite pacing, the Committee on the Development of Position Statements (CDPS) of the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology (NASPE) created an ad hoc Pacemaker Mode Code Task Force in April 2001 under the chairmanship of David L. Hayes, MD, for the purpose of bringing the NASPE/British Pacing and Electrophys...
متن کاملNASPE training requirements for cardiac implantable electronic devices: selection, implantation, and follow-up.
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) have become frequently used therapeutic modalities. CIEDs include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), devices for heart failure management (cardiac resynchronization), and implantable hemodynamic monitors. Selection of the appropriate CIED, its implantation, and follow-up care require expertise to achieve optimal therapeutic...
