Non-contact mapping to guide catheter ablation of untolerated ventricular tachycardia.
AIMS The role of a novel non-contact mapping system (ESI 3000, Endocardial Solutions) to guide radiofrequency catheter ablation of untolerated ventricular tachycardia was investigated in 17 patients; 11 with prior myocardial infarction, three with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, and three with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS Twenty-seven monomorphic ventricular tachycar...
متن کاملDesign an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs
LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...
متن کاملExperience with radiofrequency catheter ablation of fascicular tachycardia.
OBJECTIVE To report experience with radiofrequency catheter ablation of fascicular tachycardia including two cases of the rare type of this arrhythmia which arises from the anterior fascicle of the left bundle branch. DESIGN Review of results of radiofrequency ablation in nine consecutive patients presenting with fascicular tachycardia. SETTING Regional cardiac centre. INTERVENTION Percut...
متن کاملCombined use of TandemHeart percutaneous ventricular assist device and Stereotaxis magnetic navigation during cardiac ablation procedure
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is common in patients with advanced heart failure, and medical therapy alone may have limited success. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have been widely accepted as standard of care for VT management and prevention of sudden cardiac death. However, this therapy does not in itself reduce episodes of clinical VT. For patients who do not respond well to m...
متن کاملSubxiphoid surgical approach for epicardial catheter-based mapping and ablation in patients with prior cardiac surgery or difficult pericardial access.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous epicardial mapping and ablation are successful in some patients with ventricular epicardial reentry circuits but may be impossible when pericardial adhesions are present, such as from prior cardiac surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of direct surgical exposure of the pericardial space to allow catheter epicardial mapping and ablation in th...
