BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). During PVI an electrical conduction block between pulmonary vein (PV) and left atrium (LA) is created. This conduction block prevents AF, which is tr...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the technical success, radiation dose, safety and performance level of liver thermal ablation using a computed tomography (CT)-guided robotic positioning system.
BACKGROUND: Structural remodeling of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is characteristic of atrial fibrillation (AF), and LAA morphology impacts radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) outcomes. In this study, we aimed to develop and validate a predict...

AIMS: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of ablation for atrial fibrillation. Confirmation of PVI can be challenging due to the presence of far-field electrograms (EGMs) and sometimes requires additional pacing manoeuvres or mapping. T...
