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 …

This manuscript reviews the literature for all in silico, ex vivo, in vitro, in vivo and clinical
studies of high‐power short‐duration (HPSD) radiofrequency (RF) ablations. It reviews the …

Background Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) yields a novel ablation technology for atrial
fibrillation (AF). PFA lesions promise to be highly durable, however clinical data on lesion …

Objectives This study evaluated the role of adjunctive left atrium posterior wall isolation
(PWI) in preventing atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. Background The left atrium posterior …

Aims Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an effective
treatment option for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This study aims to investigate the …

Aims Radiofrequency (RF) ablation for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF)
is associated with the risk of oesophageal thermal injury (ETI). Higher power short duration …

Aims Catheter ablation (CA) is recommended for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after
failure of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs). The role of CA as 'initial therapy'for AF is to be …

Introduction High-power short-duration (HPSD) radiofrequency ablation has been proposed
to produce rapid and effective lesions for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). We aimed to …

Catheter ablation using radiofrequency (RF) energy has been widely used to treat patients
with atrial fibrillation (AF). The optimal levels of power and duration to increase the success …

Catheter Ablation (CA) is an effective therapeutic option in treating atrial fibrillation (AF).
Importantly, recent data show that CA as a rhythm control strategy not only significantly …
