Journal ArticleDOI
Irrigated Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation Guided by Electroanatomic Mapping for Recurrent Ventricular Tachycardia After Myocardial Infarction The Multicenter Thermocool Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation Trial
William G. Stevenson,David J. Wilber,Andrea Natale,Warren M. Jackman,Francis E. Marchlinski,Timothy Talbert,Mario D. Gonzalez,Seth J. Worley,Emile G. Daoud,Chun Hwang,Claudio Schuger,Thomas E. Bump,Mohammad Jazayeri,Gery Tomassoni,Harry A. Kopelman,Kyoko Soejima,Kyoko Soejima,Hiroshi Nakagawa +17 more
TL;DR: Catheter ablation is a reasonable option to reduce episodes of recurrent VT in patients with prior myocardial infarction, even when multiple and/or unmappable VTs are present, warranting surveillance and further study.
Journal ArticleDOI
EHRA/HRS/APHRS/SOLAECE expert consensus on atrial cardiomyopathies: Definition, characterization, and clinical implication
Andreas Goette,Jonathan M. Kalman,Luis Aguinaga,Joseph G. Akar,José Angel Cabrera,Shih Ann Chen,Sumeet S. Chugh,Domenico Corradi,Andre d'Avila,Dobromir Dobrev,Guilherme Fenelon,Mario D. Gonzalez,Stéphane N. Hatem,Robert H. Helm,Gerhard Hindricks,Siew Yen Ho,Brian Hoit,José Jalife,Young Hoon Kim,Gregory Y.H. Lip,Chang Sheng Ma,Gregory M. Marcus,Katherine T. Murray,Akihiko Nogami,Prashanthan Sanders,William Uribe,David R. Van Wagoner,Stanley Nattel,Stanley Nattel +28 more
TL;DR: The working group proposes the following working definition of atrial cardiomyopathy: ‘Any complex of structural, architectural, contractile or electrophysiological changes affecting the atria with the potential to produce clinically-relevant manifestations’ (Table 1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Success of Irrigated Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia: Post-Approval THERMOCOOL VT Trial
Francis E. Marchlinski,Charles I. Haffajee,John F. Beshai,Timm Dickfeld,Mario D. Gonzalez,Henry H. Hsia,Claudio Schuger,Karen J. Beckman,Frank Bogun,Scott J. Pollak,Anil K. Bhandari +10 more
TL;DR: A steady 3-year nonrecurrence rate with reduced amiodarone use and hospitalizations indicate improved long-term outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reversing the Direction of Paced Ventricular and Atrial Wavefronts Reveals an Oblique Course in Accessory AV Pathways and Improves Localization for Catheter Ablation
Kenichiro Otomo,Mario D. Gonzalez,Karen J. Beckman,Hiroshi Nakagawa,Anton E. Becker,Nayyar Shah,Kagari Matsudaira,Zulu Wang,Ralph Lazzara,Warren M. Jackman +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined how often accessory atrioventricular (AP) pathways cross the AV groove obliquely and found that reversing the direction of the paced ventricular and atrial wavefronts increased local-VA by ≥15 ms in 91 of 106 (91%) patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (CALYPSO) Pilot Trial
M.H.S. Sana M. Al-Khatib M.D.,James P. Daubert,Kevin J. Anstrom,Emile G. Daoud,Mario D. Gonzalez,Samir Saba,Kevin P. Jackson,Tammy Reece,Joan Gu,M.B.A. Sean D. Pokorney M.D.,Christopher B. Granger,Paul L. Hess,M.P.H. Daniel B. Mark M.D.,William G. Stevenson +13 more
TL;DR: This pilot randomized clinical trial was conducted to determine the feasibility of a large clinical trial aimed at testing whether early use of catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia is superior to antiarrhythmic medications at reducing mortality.
