Abstract

Cerebral thromboembolic event (CTE) is a possible complication of pulmonary vein antrum isolation (PVAI). The objective of this study was to report long-term functional and neurocognitive recovery in patients who had a CTE during or within 48 hours of catheter ablation. We screened 3,060 patients who underwent PVAI between January 2000 and June 2007. Out the 3,060 patients, 26 patients (0.8%) (61 +/- 8 years, 88% males) had a CTE during or within 48 hours of the procedure. We followed these 26 patients (study group) over time and assessed their functional and neurocognitive recovery status. No preferential vascular territory for the site of obstruction was found; right anterior circulation-5 patients (26%), left anterior circulation-5 patients (26%), posterior circulation-3 patients (16%), and 2 or more territories-6 patients (32%), (P-value = 0.8). The average international normalized ratio at the time of CTE was 1.33 +/- 0.4. Two patients died during the study period. At the end of 38.4 +/- 24 months follow-up, most surviving patients had complete neurocognitive and functional recovery irrespective of the severity of periprocedural stroke. Periprocedural stroke in the setting of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is re...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Acute Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted depriving the brain of oxygen and nutrients. This feed focuses cerebrovascular accidents including ischemic and paralytic stroke.
