Journal ArticleDOI
Ablation for longstanding permanent atrial fibrillation: Results from a randomized study comparing three different strategies
Claude S. Elayi,Atul Verma,Luigi Di Biase,Chi Keong Ching,Dimpi Patel,Conor D. Barrett,David O. Martin,Bai Rong,Tamer S. Fahmy,Yaariv Khaykin,Richard Hongo,Steven Hao,Gemma Pelargonio,Antonio Dello Russo,Michela Casella,Pietro Santarelli,Domenico Potenza,Raffaele Fanelli,Raimondo Massaro,Mauricio Arruda,Robert A. Schweikert,Andrea Natale +21 more
TL;DR: The hybrid AF ablation strategy including antrum isolation and CFAE ablation had the highest likelihood of maintaining sinus rhythm in patients with longstanding permanent AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Patients With Therapeutic International Normalized Ratio Comparison of Strategies of Anticoagulation Management in the Periprocedural Period
Oussama M. Wazni,Salwa Beheiry,Tamer S. Fahmy,Conor D. Barrett,Steven Hao,Dimpi Patel,Luigi Di Biase,David O. Martin,Mohamed Kanj,Mauricio Arruda,Jennifer E. Cummings,Robert A. Schweikert,Walid Saliba,Andrea Natale +13 more
TL;DR: Continuation of warfarin throughout pulmonary vein ablation without administration of enoxaparin is safe and efficacious and can be an alternative to bridging with enoxAParin or heparin in the periprocedural period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Esophageal capsule endoscopy after radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: documented higher risk of luminal esophageal damage with general anesthesia as compared with conscious sedation.
Luigi Di Biase,Luigi Di Biase,Luis C. Saenz,David Burkhardt,Miguel Vacca,Claude S. Elayi,Conor D. Barrett,Rodney Horton,Rong Bai,Alan Siu,Tamer S. Fahmy,Dimpi Patel,Luciana Armaganijan,Chia Tung Wu,Sonne Kai,Ching Keong Ching,Karen P. Phillips,Robert A. Schweikert,Jennifer E. Cummings,Mauricio Arruda,Walid Saliba,Milan Dodig,Andrea Natale +22 more
TL;DR: The use of general anesthesia increases the risk of esophageal damage detected by capsule endoscopy, and this increased risk was statistically significant in patients undergoing general anesthesia or conscious sedation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical Isolation of the Superior Vena Cava: An Adjunctive Strategy to Pulmonary Vein Antrum Isolation Improving the Outcome of AF Ablation
Mauricio Arruda,Hanka Mlcochova,Subramanya K. Prasad,Fethi Kilicaslan,Walid Saliba,Dimpi Patel,Tamer S. Fahmy,Luis C. Saenz Morales,Robert A. Schweikert,David O. Martin,David Burkhardt,Jennifer E. Cummings,Mandeep Bhargava,Thomas Dresing,Oussama M. Wazni,Mohamed Kanj,Andrea Natale +16 more
TL;DR: PV isolation at the antrum (PVAI) has improved safety and efficacy of ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation (AF) and triggers from the superior vena cava may compromise the outcome of PVAI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remote Magnetic Navigation: Human Experience in Pulmonary Vein Ablation
Luigi Di Biase,Tamer S. Fahmy,Dimpi Patel,Rong Bai,Kenneth C. Civello,Oussama M. Wazni,Mohamed Kanj,Claude S. Elayi,Chi Keong Ching,Mohamed Khan,Lucie Popova,Robert A. Schweikert,Jennifer E. Cummings,J. David Burkhardt,David O. Martin,Mandeep Bhargava,Thomas Dresing,Walid Saliba,Mauricio Arruda,Andrea Natale +19 more
TL;DR: Remote navigation using a magnetic system is a feasible technique with the present catheter technology, but effective lesions cannot be achieved in most cases, and this appears to impact the cure rate of AF patients.
