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 …

In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

Background: The inspIRE study (Study for Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation [PAF]
by Pulsed Field Ablation [PFA] System With Irreversible Electroporation [IRE]) evaluated …

Abstract Background QDOT MICRO (QDM) is a novel contact force–sensing catheter
optimized for temperature-controlled radiofrequency (RF) ablation. The very high-power …

Aims The long-term success rate of ablation therapy is still sub-optimal in patients with
persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), mostly due to arrhythmia recurrence originating from …

Aims The multielectrode radiofrequency balloon catheter (RFB) has been developed to
achieve safe and effective pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation …

Aims To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a compliant multi-electrode radiofrequency
balloon catheter (RFB) used with a multi-electrode diagnostic catheter for pulmonary vein …

Abstract Background VISITAG SURPOINT (VS)–guided ablation of paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation has demonstrated good short-and long-term success rates with low rates of …

Aims Radiofrequency ablation creates irreversible cardiac damage through resistive heating
and this temperature change results in a generator impedance drop. Evaluation of a novel …

Objective Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) guided by a standardised CLOSE (contiguous
optimised lesions) protocol has been shown to increase clinical success after catheter …
