Abstract

Achieve catheters are cryoballoon guidewires that enable pulmonary vein (PV) potential mapping. The single catheter approach in conjunction with the Achieve catheter is currently standard practice in second-generation cryoballoon ablation, yet circumferential mapping catheters are the gold standard for evaluating PV isolation (PVI). The study sought to validate the ostial PVI verified by an Achieve catheter alone. One hundred fifty-one paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients undergoing PVI using exclusively 28-mm second-generation cryoballoons were enrolled. PV recordings were analyzed during (real-time recordings) and after cryoballoon applications with 20-mm Achieve mapping catheters, and subsequently validated by 20-mm conventional circumferential mapping catheters. Out of 596 PVs, 576 (96.6%) were isolated using cryoballoons, and 20 required touch-up ablation. PVI was verified during cryoballoon applications with real-time monitoring in 299, and after applications in 280 PVs by Achieve catheters alone. The time-to-isolation was 27.2 ± 22.0 seconds. Validation with standard circumferential mapping catheters confirmed ostial PVIs in 296 of 299 (99.0%) PVs that real-time PVI was obtained during applications, and in 242 of 280 ...Continue Reading

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.

Atrial Filbrillation

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

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.
