Performing electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) during catheter ablation for A-fib to boost rhythm control carries a risk of stroke that seems to be mitigated either by continued ...

New data underscore that electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is a man-made risk factor for stroke. They also suggest that ...

Catheter ablation is an important treatment modality for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Although the superiority of catheter ablation over antiarrhythmic drug therapy has been demonstrated in ...

BERLIN, Germany—A novel conformable pulsed-field ablation (PFA) catheter that contains both mapping and ablation capabilities can efficiently and safely isolate the pulmonary veins in patients with ...
