Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy in Brugada syndrome: a 20-year single-center experience.
Giulio Conte,Juan Sieira,Giuseppe Ciconte,Carlo de Asmundis,Gian-Battista Chierchia,Giannis Baltogiannis,Giacomo Di Giovanni,Mark La Meir,Francis Wellens,Jens Czapla,Kristel Wauters,Moises Levinstein,Yukio Saitoh,Ghazala Irfan,Justo Juliá,Gudrun Pappaert,Pedro Brugada +16 more
TL;DR: ICD therapy was an effective strategy in Brugada syndrome, treating potentially lethal arrhythmias in 17% of patients during long-term follow-up, and risk stratification by electrophysiologic study may identify asymptomatic patients at risk for arrhythmic events and could be helpful in investigating syncope not related to VAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single 3-minute freeze for second-generation cryoballoon ablation: One-year follow-up after pulmonary vein isolation
Giuseppe Ciconte,Carlo de Asmundis,Juan Sieira,Giulio Conte,Giacomo Di Giovanni,Giacomo Mugnai,Yukio Saitoh,Giannis Baltogiannis,Ghazala Irfan,Hugo Enrique Coutino-Moreno,Burak Hünük,Vedran Velagic,Pedro Brugada,Gian-Battista Chierchia +13 more
TL;DR: A single 3-minute freeze is highly effective, determining an atrial tachyarrhythmia freedom of 80.4% at 1-year follow-up, and Routine use of an "insurance freeze" may not be needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Second-generation cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: 1-year follow-up
Gian-Battista Chierchia,Giacomo Di Giovanni,Giuseppe Ciconte,Carlo de Asmundis,Giulio Conte,Juan Sieira-Moret,Moisés Rodríguez-Mañero,Ruben Casado,Giannis Baltogiannis,Mehdi Namdar,Yukio Saitoh,Gaetano Paparella,Giacomo Mugnai,Pedro Brugada +13 more
TL;DR: The CB-A is very effective in producing PVI and affords freedom from AF at 12 months follow-up in 83% of patients affected by drug-resistant PAF following a 3-month BP.
Journal ArticleDOI
A score model to predict risk of events in patients with Brugada Syndrome.
Juan Sieira,Giulio Conte,Giuseppe Ciconte,Gian-Battista Chierchia,Ruben Casado-Arroyo,Giannis Baltogiannis,Giacomo Di Giovanni,Yukio Saitoh,Justo Juliá,Giacomo Mugnai,Mark La Meir,Francis Wellens,Jens Czapla,Gudrun Pappaert,Carlo de Asmundis,Pedro Brugada +15 more
TL;DR: Investigation of long-term prognosis and risk stratification of BS patients found patients remain at risk many years after diagnosis, and early SCD in first-degree relatives and SND are risk factors for arrhythmic events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation as index procedure for persistent atrial fibrillation: a comparison between radiofrequency catheter ablation and second-generation cryoballoon ablation
Giuseppe Ciconte,Giannis Baltogiannis,Carlo de Asmundis,Juan Sieira,Giulio Conte,Giacomo Di Giovanni,Yukio Saitoh,Ghazala Irfan,Giacomo Mugnai,Burak Hünük,Gian-Battista Chierchia,Pedro Brugada +11 more
TL;DR: Atrial tachyarrhythmias occurrence during BP and longer time of PersAF seem to be significant predictors of arrhythmia recurrences after the index procedure, which is associated with shorter procedure time and radiation exposure as compared with RFCA.
