ABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Posterior wall isolation in persistent atrial fibrillation feasibility, safety, durability, and efficacy
- Pages: 1667-1674
- First Published: 22 May 2022
- -
Acute isolation of the left atrial posterior wall in addition to PVI was swiftly achievable when recognizing the need for limited ablation in the center right zone (CRZ) in a third of patients.
- -
In contrast to PVI (85%) only 58% of ablated roof lines and 63% of inferior lines remained durably intact at 6 months mandatory reassessment.
- -
Despite limited chronic durability of posterior wall isolation, the median AF burden was 0.0% for 6 months using continuous heart rhythm monitoring (ICM)

ABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Transseptal puncture for left atrial ablation: Risk factors for cardiac tamponade and a proposed causative classification system
- Pages: 1747-1755
- First Published: 07 June 2022

In this retrospective analysis of 3239 consecutive transseptal punctures performed during left atrial ablation, we present the independent risk factors for the occurrence of cardiac tamponade.
We also propose a novel classification system for the causes of cardiac tamponade during left atrial ablation.

ABLATION FOR VT
Temporal and spatial pacemap parameters for identification of cardiac surfaces with critical sites for ventricular tachycardia
- Pages: 1791-1800
- First Published: 24 June 2022

Pacemap conducted on the surfaces harboring isthmus demonstrate sites showing good pacemap scores with a long and a short pacing latency (temporal distribtion), in a separate location (spatial distribution), enabling to delineate the putataive isthmus, regardless of whether the entire circuit is on the surface or not.
Pacemapping conducted on the surfaces not harboring isthmus demonstrate only modest pacemap scores, surrounded by poorer score.
