Journal ArticleDOI
Cryoballoon or Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Karl-Heinz Kuck,Josep Brugada,Alexander Fürnkranz,Andreas Metzner,Feifan Ouyang,K.R. Julian Chun,Arif Elvan,Thomas Arentz,Kurt Bestehorn,Stuart J. Pocock,Jean Paul Albenque,Claudio Tondo +11 more
TL;DR: In this randomized trial, cryoballoon ablation was noninferior to radiofrequency ablation with respect to efficacy for the treatment of patients with drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and there was no significant difference between the two methods with regard to overall safety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small or Large Isolation Areas Around the Pulmonary Veins for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation? Results From a Prospective Randomized Study
Thomas Arentz,Reinhold Weber,Gerd Bürkle,Claudia Herrera,Thomas Blum,Jochem Stockinger,Jan Minners,Franz-Josef Neumann,Dietrich Kalusche +8 more
TL;DR: The rate of success was significantly higher and fluoroscopy times were significantly lower in the group with large isolation areas around both ipsilateral PVs than in those who underwent individual PV isolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Purkinje conducting system in triggering of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation
Michel Haïssaguerre,Dipen Shah,Pierre Jaïs,Morio Shoda,Josef Kautzner,Thomas Arentz,Dietrich Kalushe,Alan H. Kadish,Michael Griffith,Fiorenzo Gaita,Teiichi Yamane,Stéphane Garrigue,Mélèze Hocini,Jacques Clémenty +13 more
TL;DR: The accuracy of mapping was confirmed by acute elimination of triggers by radiofrequency delivery, and there was no recurrence of ventricular fibrillation in 14 patients, establishing that ablation is curative and avoids use of a defibrillator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of Asymptomatic Intracranial Embolic Events After Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Comparison of Different Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Technologies in a Multicenter Study
Claudia Herrera Siklody,Thomas Deneke,Mélèze Hocini,Heiko Lehrmann,Dong-In Shin,Shinsuke Miyazaki,Susanne Henschke,Peter Fluegel,Jochen Schiebeling-Römer,Paul M. Bansmann,Thomas Bourdias,Vincent Dousset,Michel Haïssaguerre,Thomas Arentz +13 more
TL;DR: The PVAC is associated with a significantly higher incidence of subclinical intracranial embolic events and further study of the causes and significance of these emboli is required to determine the safety of the PVAC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of Recurrent Ventricular Fibrillation Associated With Inferolateral Early Repolarization: Role of Drug Therapy
Michel Haïssaguerre,Frederic Sacher,Akihiko Nogami,Nohiriro Komiya,Anne Bernard,Vincent Probst,Sinikka Yli-Mäyry,Pascal Defaye,Yoshifusa Aizawa,Robert Frank,Roberto Mantovan,Riccardo Cappato,Christian Wolpert,Antoine Leenhardt,Lucas De Roy,Hein Heidbuchel,Isabel Deisenhofer,Thomas Arentz,Jean-Luc Pasquié,Rukshen Weerasooriya,Mélèze Hocini,Pierre Jaïs,Nicolas Derval,Pierre Bordachar,Jacques Clémenty +24 more
TL;DR: In this article, the efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) in recurrent ventricular fibrillation (VF) associated with inferolateral early repolarization pattern on the electrocardiogram was evaluated.
