Aims We sought to compare the effectiveness and safety of high-power short-duration
(HPSD) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with conventional RFA in patients with atrial …

The first edition of Europace journal in 1999 came right around the time of the landmark
publication of the electrophysiologists from Bordeaux, establishing how elimination of …

Aims Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is effective but hampered by pulmonary vein reconnection …

Background: With short radiofrequency (RF) applications, tissue temperature continues to
rise after RF termination (thermal latency), which may result in lesion growth after RF …

Background Very high-power, short-duration (90-W/4-second) ablation for pulmonary vein
isolation (PVI) may reduce procedural times. However, shorter applications with higher …

Aims The very high-power short-duration (vHP-SD) radiofrequency (RF) ablation concept of
atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment by pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) aims for safer, more …

Aims The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of oesophageal lesions after
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) with or without the use of …

Background: Fifty-watt radiofrequency applications have proven to be safe and efficient for
pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). However, as PV reconnection still occurs and ablation …

In 2019, the Guidelines for non-pharmacotherapy of cardiac arrhythmias (JCS/JHRS 2019)
were published, covering areas such as treatment using cardiac electrical implantable …

Aims The formation of radiofrequency lesions depends on the power and duration of
ablation, and the contact force (CF). Although high power (HP) creates continuous and …
