Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment of supraventricular tachycardia due to atrioventricular nodal reentry by radiofrequency catheter ablation of slow-pathway conduction

TL;DR: Catheter ablation of the atrial end of the slow pathway using radiofrequency current, guided by ASP potentials, can eliminate AVNRT with very little risk of atrioventricular block.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of In Vivo Tissue Temperature Profile and Lesion Geometry for Radiofrequency Ablation With a Saline-Irrigated Electrode Versus Temperature Control in a Canine Thigh Muscle Preparation

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to determine whether lesion depth could be increased by producing direct resistive heating deeper in the tissue with higher radiofrequency power, allowed by cooling the ablation electrode with saline irrigation to prevent the rise in impedance that occurs when the electrode-tissue interface temperature reaches 100 degrees C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia guided by a Purkinje potential.

TL;DR: Findings support the hypothesis that Verapamil-sensitive, idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia with right bundle branch block configuration and left-axis deviation originates from the Purkinje network of the left posterior fascicle.
Journal ArticleDOI

ACCF/SCAI/STS/AATS/AHA/ASNC 2009 Appropriateness Criteria for Coronary Revascularization

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted an appropriateness review of common clinical scenarios in which coronary revascularization is frequently considered and developed 180 clinical scenarios to mimic common situations encountered in everyday practice and included information on symptom status, extent of medical therapy, risk level as assessed by noninvasive testing, and coronary anatomy.
