Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to expand and evolve. Large registries like the worldwide survey have provided insight into methods, safety and efficacy of catheter ablation ...

Catheter contact force is well known as one of the factors which has a strong positive correlation with lesion formation. We hypothesized that the catheter contact force substantially affects the ...

Since initially reported in 1982, atrioventricular junction (AVJ) ablation remains a treatment option for medical or ablation refractory atrial arrhythmias. [1, 2] Due to the success of medical ...

In this work, we propose a reliable top-down approach based on laser ablation of polymers to form polyethylene terephthalate (PET) nanoplastics, which mimic real environmental nanopollutants, unlike ...
