Thoracoscopic pulmonary vein isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation and failed percutaneous ablation.

TL;DR: Thoracoscopic pulmonary vein isolation in patients with previously unsuccessful catheter ablations demonstrates satisfactory sinus rhythm maintenance rates in paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation, but not in long-standing persistent atrium fibrillation.

Predictable and Less Predictable Unwanted Cardiac Drugs Effects: Individual Pre-Disposition and Transient Precipitating Factors

TL;DR: General principles of predictable and less predictable unwanted drug effects are described and the complex interplay of genetic and acquired pre-disposing and precipitating factors for such effects using the example of ventricular pro-dysrhythmia are discussed.

Maze procedure in single ventricle patients.

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to describe the strategy for performing the maze procedure in these single-ventricle patients with arrhythmias with Fontan conversion at Children's Memorial Hospital.

Interim Results of the 5-Box Thoracoscopic Maze Procedure

TL;DR: Replication of the left atrial Cox-Maze lesion set through a totally thoracoscopic approach isolates virtually all arrhythmogenic substrate, and meticulous verification of compartment integrity allows for outcomes equivalent to the Cox- Maze benchmark.

Optimization of initial energy for cardioversion of atrial tachyarrhythmias with biphasic shocks (Abstract ESCIM Vienna 2009, P1105)

TL;DR: Recommendations for the initial energy setting aiming at the lowest total cumulative energy with 2 or less consecutive shocks are developed, with the lowest values achieved in patients with AFL/AT and patients with AF.
