This review discusses the role of new technologies aimed at improving lesion formation and arrhythmia-free survival in patients undergoing catheter ablation for complex atrial arrhythmias.
Understanding ablation biophysics and utilizing emerging technologies like contact force sensing and irreversible electroporation are critical for creating more effective, durable lesions and improving outcomes in atrial fibrillation ablation.
Permanent destruction of abnormal cardiac tissue responsible for cardiac arrhythmogenesis whilst avoiding collateral tissue injury forms the cornerstone of catheter ablation therapy. As the acceptance and performance of catheter ablation increases worldwide, limitations in current technology are becoming increasingly apparent in the treatment of complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. This review will discuss the role of new technologies aimed to improve lesion formation with the ultimate goal of improving arrhythmia-free survival of patients undergoing catheter ablation of atrial arrhythmias.
Kumar et al. (Thu,) conducted a review in Atrial arrhythmias. New technologies for catheter ablation was evaluated. This review discusses the role of new technologies aimed at improving lesion formation and arrhythmia-free survival in patients undergoing catheter ablation for complex atrial arrhythmias.
