Combined use of intraoperative MRI and awake tailored microsurgical resection to respect functional neural networks: preliminary experience
INTRODUCTION: The combined use of intraoperative MRI and awake surgery is a tailored microsurgical resection to respect functional neural networks (mainly the language and motor ones). Intraoperative MRI has been classically considered to increase the exte ...
2023Novel spatiotemporal processing tools for body-surface potential map signals for the prediction of catheter ablation outcome in persistent atrial fibrillation
Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Etienne Pruvot
Background: Signal processing tools are required to efficiently analyze data collected in body-surface-potential map (BSPM) recordings. A limited number of such tools exist for studying persistent atrial fibrillation (persAF). We propose two novel, spatiot ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022ECG-Based Indices to Characterize Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Before and During Stepwise Catheter Ablation
Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Etienne Pruvot
Background: Consistently successful patient outcomes following catheter ablation (CA) for treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation (pers-AF) remain elusive. We propose an electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis designed to (1) refine selection of patients most ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2021Ventricular response regularity in atrial fibrillation and its relationship to successful catheter ablation
Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Etienne Pruvot
Atrial rate is known to modulate ventricular response during atrial fibrillation (AF). The resulting pulse irregularity translates into widely varying inter-beat intervals (IBIs) extracted from recorded surface electrocardiogram (ECG) activity. In AF, the ...
IEEE2020Experimental Testing of AF Septal Modeling Results
Introduction: Moving to clinical validation is an essential phase with every model-based result. However, this translation is often not straightforward because animal models differ from human computer models in many anatomic and electrophysiologic ways, wh ...
2016Perivascular M2 macrophages stimulate tumor relapse after chemotherapy
Michele De Palma, Ioanna Keklikoglou
Tumor relapse after chemotherapy-induced regression is a major clinical problem, because it often involves inoperable metastatic disease. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are known to limit the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy in preclinical models of c ...
American Association for Cancer Research2015Novel ECG and Intracardiac Electrograms Signal Processing Schemes for Predicting the Outcome of Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common encountered cardiac rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) in clinical practice. It is responsible for about one third of arrhythmia-related hospitalizations. This arrhythmia, which increases in prevalence with age, leads ...
EPFL2014Temperature Monitoring During Tissue Freezing Using Ultrasound Speed Measurements
Martin Vetterli, Ali Hormati, Ivana Jovanovic
A major limitation of thermal therapies is the lack of detailed thermal information needed to monitor the therapy. Temperatures are routinely measured invasively with thermocouples, but only sparse measurements can be made. Ultrasound tomography is an attr ...
2009The effect of a myocardial infarction on the normalized time-varying elastance curve
Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, David Jegger
It has been suggested that the shape of the normalized time-varying elastance curve [E(n)(t(n))] is conserved in different cardiac pathologies. We hypothesize, however, that the E(n)(t(n)) differs quantitatively after myocardial infarction (MI). Sprague-Da ...
