A novel hybrid technique for the repair of an atrioesophageal fistula post-atrial radiofrequency ablation.
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg

Department of Cardiac Surgery, UZ Brussel, Brussels, Belgium.
An atrioesophageal fistula is an uncommon complication of atrial ablation with a mortality rate of 40-100%. Uniform treatment guidelines have yet to be established. Herein, we illustrate the successful surgical management of an atrioesophageal fistula, avoiding the need for an oesophageal surgical intervention by sealing and clipping of the oesophagus.

Department of Cardiology, Hebei Yanda Hospital, Hebei, Hebei Province, China.
Objectives: Hybrid catheter and surgical ablation has emerged as an effective therapy for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). The aims of this study were to evaluate the relationship between intraprocedural arrhythmia termination and the long-term outcomes of hybrid ablation in patients with long-standing persistent AF.
Methods: From May 2015 through April 2019, 50 patients with persistent AF with a mean duration of 73.
A single-step sizing and radiofrequency ablation catheter for circumferential ablation of Barrett's esophagus: Results of a pilot study.
United European Gastroenterol J
August 2018
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Background: The 360 Express balloon catheter (360 Express) has the ability to self-adjust to the esophageal lumen, ensuring optimal tissue contact.
Objective: The objective of this article is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 360 Express for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment of Barrett's esophagus (BE).
Methods: BE patients with low-grade dysplasia (LGD), high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or early cancer (EC) were included.
Three-year follow-up of hybrid ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg
April 2018
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Maastricht University Medical Center, Maastricht, Netherlands.
Objectives: The single-step hybrid atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedure combines a transvenous endocardial and thoracoscopic epicardial approach in 1 procedure. Short-term results are encouraging, but long-term outcome data are not available.
Methods: Hybrid AF ablation was successfully performed in 64 consecutive patients (53% with persistent AF).
Novel Chemiluminescent Enzyme Immunoassays for Individual Quantification of 3 Endogenous Molecular Forms of Atrial Natriuretic Peptide in Human Plasma.
J Appl Lab Med
July 2016
Department of Molecular Pharmacology, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center Research Institute, Osaka, Japan.
Background: Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are cardiac peptide hormones with pivotal roles in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis. BNP and its precursor fragment are accepted as gold standard markers for heart failure (HF). Human ANP is present in the atria of the heart and plasma as 3 endogenous molecular forms designated α-ANP, β-ANP, and proANP.
