New local treatments based on electromagnetic fields have been developed as non‐
surgical and minimally invasive treatments of tumors. In particular, short electric pulses can …

Atrioesophageal fistula is a life-threatening complication of ablation treatment for atrial
fibrillation. Methods to reduce the risk of esophageal injury have evolved over the last …

Objectives: This study retrospectively evaluated the feasibility and esophageal thermal injury
(ETI) patterns of high-power short-duration (HPSD) radiofrequency atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Background Multiple strategies have advocation for power titration and catheter movement
during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Comparative favoring evidence regarding the efficacy …

For patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are refractory to anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs),
minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical ablation (SA) and catheter ablation …

Introduction: Cardiac ablation is an established treatment modality for the management of
patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Current approaches to cardiac ablation employ thermal …

Esophageal Temperature Monitoring During PVAC Ablation. Introduction: A novel ablation
system has been introduced for rapid treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). This system delivers …

Background: Although contact force (CF)–sensing catheters improve procedural
effectiveness and safety of atrial fibrillation ablation, recent reports documented a higher …

Background It has been demonstrated that a high‐power, short‐duration (HPSD) ablation
during pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is effective and safe. However, studies about the HPSD …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in the United States. With the ageing
population, the incidence and prevalence of atrial fibrillation are on the rise. Catheter …
