New technologies mean catheter ablation is among the safest, most effective treatments for atrial fibrillation, reported the ...

Catheter ablation is one of the most effective rhythm-control strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF). Conventional catheter ablation is performed using thermo-energy sources via either radiofrequency ...

New research shows that cryoablation is a safe and effective approach to close congenital patent foramen ovale (PFO, a small ...

It is often drug-resistant and likely to occur concomitantly with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, making radiofrequency catheter ablation the preferred treatment. The aim of this study was to ...

Medtronic CEO Geoff Martha told investors Tuesday that the company’s ablation business did not grow as expected last quarter due to supply constraints for its PulseSelect pulsed field ablation (PFA) ...

Ablation, a procedure to treat abnormal electrical short circuits caused by a heart attack and is usually reserved for patients who do not improve with medication, may be a better first-line ...

This narrows the artery and prevents oxygen and nutrients from getting to the limb. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to open a blocked artery. Your ...

Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) appears to be a viable alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in select patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), ...

Catheter ablation is commonly used when antiarrhythmic drugs do not suppress ventricular tachycardia. Whether catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drugs as a first-line therapy ...

Oral anticoagulation is recommended after ablation for atrial fibrillation among patients at high risk for stroke. Left atrial appendage closure is a mechanical alternative to anticoagulation ...
