Background Renal denervation (RDN) has been proposed as a novel antihypertensive intervention for treating resistant hypertension. It remains to be investigated which patient groups can potentially benefit from RDN. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RDN in patients with mild–moderate resistant hypertension, i. e., systolic office blood pressure (BP) of 140–160 mm Hg despite...
Stroke is the most devastating complication of atrial fibrillation (AF), and the latter increases the risk of stroke by almost fivefold. AF elimination by catheter ablation should lower the risk of thromboembolic complications. Several studies support this hypothesis, demonstrating rates of stroke in AF patients similar to non-AF populations after successful catheter ablation. Widespread discontinuation...
The endoscopic laser balloon ablation system affords a unique view of the beating heart for visual guidance in pulmonary vein (PV) isolation. A 66-year-old patient was admitted for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). While encircling the left superior PV, AF terminated into sinus rhythm, which was diagnosed by observing sudden regularization of previously rapidly fibrillating atrial tissue...
Seit einigen Jahren können Patienten mit resistenter Hypertonie zwei neue interventionelle Therapiestrategien, nämlich die Barorezeptorstimulation im Sinus caroticus und die Radiofrequenzablation der renalen Symphatikusaktivität (renale Denervierung), angeboten werden. Bei der einen Methode werden die Barorezeptoren im Sinus caroticus stimuliert, nachdem zuvor die operative Implantation von Elektroden...
