Performance Evaluation of Mixed Reality Display for Guidance During Transcatheter Cardiac Mapping and Ablation.

Unlabelled: Cardiac electrophysiology procedures present the physician with a wealth of 3D information, typically presented on fixed 2D monitors. New developments in wearable mixed reality displays offer the potential to simplify and enhance 3D visualization while providing hands-free, dynamic control of devices within the procedure room.

Objective: This work aims to evaluate the performance and quality of a mixed reality system designed for intraprocedural use in cardiac electrophysiology.

Awake perimetry testing for occipital epilepsy surgery.

With the patient awake during surgery, the authors used a simple technique to determine which part of a patient's brain was essential for vision. This technique allows the surgeon to remove as much as the seizure-producing brain as possible by avoiding the areas that are critical for vision.

Outcome of temporal lobe epilepsy surgery evaluated with bitemporal intracranial electrode recordings.

Background: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) with unclear lateralization may require intracranial implantation of electrodes (IIE). We retrospectively assessed the association between the use of IIE and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL).

Participants And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 1,032 patients undergoing epilepsy surgery at our center from 1977 to 2006.
