Abstract

To investigate the learning curve for atrial fibrillation (AF), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and premature ventricular contraction (PVC) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using zero fluoroscopy. This is a retrospective, single-center study of 167 patients undergoing ablation between 2016 and 2019. Minimal fluoroscopy approach was initiated after the first 20 cases of PVI and SVT RFA. Procedures were divided consecutively into increments of 10 cases to determine operator learning curve. A total of 64 (38%) had SVT ablations, 26 (16%) had PVC ablations, and 77 (46%) had AF and underwent PVI. For SVT RFA, fluoroscopy time improved from 4.1 ± 3.5 min during the first 10 cases to 0.8 ± 1.2 min after 50 cases (p = 0.0001). Sixty-two out of 64 (97%) of cases were successful. In PVC RFA, fluoroscopy time was 7.7 ± 5.5 min for the first 5, 2.3 ± 3.4 min after 15, and 0 min after 20 cases (p = 0.0008). Twenty-four out of 26 (92%) of cases were acutely successful with recurrence in 2/26 (8%) of patients over 9 ± 9 months. In PVI, fluoroscopy time was 9.9 ± 3.3 min over the first 20 cases, 2.6 ± 2.3 min after 40 cases, and 0.1 min after 50 cases (p < 0.0001). PVI procedure time was 170 ± 34 min after 60 cases from 235 ± 41 min initially...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.
