Catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients on hemodialysis (HD) is reported to have a high risk of late recurrence (LR). However, the relationship between early recurrence (ER) within a 90-day blanking period after CA in AF patients and LR in HD patients remains unclear.Methods and Results: Of the 5,010 patients in the Kansai P...

The left atrial posterior wall (LAPW) can be a target for atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation but is sometimes difficult to completely isolate due to the presence of endocardial-epicardial connections. We aimed to investigate the incidence and distribution of epicardial residual connections (epi-RCs) and the electrogram characteristics at ep...

Several novel technologies allowing catheter ablation (CA) with a favorable safety/efficacy profile have been recently developed, but not yet extensively clinically tested in the setting of ventricular tachycardia CA. In this technical report, we overview technical aspects and preclinical/clinical information concerning the application of three nov...

Catheter ablation has become an established treatment option for premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). The use of fluoroscopy exposes patients and medical staff to potentially harmful stochastic and deterministic effects of ionizing radiations. We sought to analyze procedural outcomes in terms of safety and efficacy using a "zero fluoroscopy" app...

Trends in patient selection and use of pharmacotherapy prior to catheter ablation (CA) for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) are not well described. This study examined temporal trends in patients undergoing first-time CA for regular SVT, including atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia (AVNRT), accessory pathways (APs), and ectopic atrial ta...

Slow pathway elimination of the atrioventricular node (AVN) is essential to treat AVN reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). However, injury to the AVN conduction (IAVN) is one of the serious complications. Cryofreezing energy is expected to reduce the incidence of IAVN. This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of a novel method to avoid IAVN during ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) symptom relief is a primary indication for catheter ablation, but AF symptom resolution is not well characterized. The study objective was to describe AF symptom documentation in electronic health records (EHRs) pre- and post-ablation and identify correlates of post-ablation symptoms. We conducted a retrospective cohort stu...

BACKGROUND: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) induces cell death through electroporation using ultrarapid electrical pulses. We sought to compare the procedural efficiency characteristics, safety, and efficacy of ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) using PFA compared with thermal energy ablation. METHODS: We performed an extensive literature search and ...

Cryoballoon ablation is a well-established anatomical approach for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Although widely adopted, regional variations in standards of care have not been well characterized. Patients with AF were enrolled in the Cryo Global Registry (NCT02752737) from May 2016 to Sept 2021 at 128 si...
