Case Report: A novel method of needle-free transseptal puncture.

Front Cardiovasc Med

December 2024

Department of Internal Medicine, College of Medicine, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan.

Background: In the era of fluoroless catheter ablation (CA), achieving a successful transseptal puncture (TSP) presents a significant challenge. We introduce a novel technique for zero-fluoroscopy and cost-effective needle-free TSP.

Case Summary: We describe two cases where a GMS-1 guidewire (0.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the safety and effectiveness of a fluoroless Cardioneuroablation (CNA) approach in treating cardiac issues like syncope and AV block among 22 young patients (average age 21).
  • The procedure successfully eliminated or reduced the vagal response in all patients, with an average operation time of 251 minutes and fluoroscopy avoided in 91% of cases.
  • At follow-up (around 11.4 months later), 77% of patients were symptom-free, with 90% of those needing pacemakers not requiring further pacing, indicating a promising outcome without complications.

Pulsed-field ablation for atrial fibrillation without the use of fluoroscopy.

J Interv Card Electrophysiol

August 2024

Cardiac Electrophysiology, South Denver Cardiology Associates, 1000 Southpark Drive, Littleton, CO, 80111, USA.

Introduction: Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) and fluoroless ablation (FA) are emerging techniques in contemporary in electrophysiology. With widespread use of 3D electroanatomic mapping systems and advanced intracardiac echo (ICE) imaging, fluoroless ablation has become more widely adopted. However, with the importance of tissue contact for lesion durability, initial PFA has been used with fluoroscopic guidance, but both ICE and electroanatomic mapping make fluoroless PFA feasible.

Cardioneural ablation-the first case series without the use of fluoroscopy.

J Interv Card Electrophysiol

August 2024

Cardiac Electrophysiology, South Denver Cardiology Associates, 1000 SouthPark Drive, Littleton, CO, 80111, USA.

Introduction: Cardioneural ablation (CNA) and fluoroless ablation (FA) are emerging procedures and movements in contemporary in electrophysiology. Ablation of ganglionated plexus (GP) inputs in the atrium has been successfully targeted as a treatment for symptomatic bradyarrhythmias due to increased parasympathetic tone. As most of these patients are young, avoidance of ionizing radiation is of critical importance to limit potential long term deleterious effects.

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) stands as a widely practiced cardiac ablation procedure on a global scale, conventionally guided by fluoroscopy. The concurrent application of electroanatomical mapping systems (EAMS) and intracardiac echocardiography offers a means to curtail radiation exposure. This study aimed to compare procedural outcomes between conventional and our initial zero-fluoroscopy cases in patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), undergoing point-by-point PVI.
