La ablación de las venas pulmonares se ha convertido en un tratamiento clave para fibrilación auricular (FA). Sin embargo, pueden ocurrir recurrencias. La estrategia disponible para la ablación después de una recurrencia de FA es controvertida, compleja y desafiante, y la información es limitada. Me...
Abstract Background: The catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is performed less frequently in women. In addition, there is divergent information in the literature regarding the effectiveness and safety for the ablative procedure to females. Objectives: The objective of this study was to compar...
Abstract Background: The influence of pulmonary vein (PV) anatomy on cryo kinetics during cryoballoon (CB) ablation is unclear. Objective: To investigate the relationship between PV anatomy and cryo kinetics during CB ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: Sixty consecutive patients were enro...
Surgical correction of anomalous pulmonary venous connection from the left lung to the innominate vein (through a vertical vein) without cardiopulmonary bypass, was performed in two patients, with excellent evolution. After median sternotomy, the ascending vertical vein was cut obliquely close to the vei...
