Fast-Response Variable-Stiffness Magnetic Catheters for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dario Floreano, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake, Yi Sun, Matteo Righi
In minimally invasive surgery, such as cardiac ablation, magnetically steered catheters made of variable-stiffness materials can enable higher dexterity and higher force application to human tissue. However, the long transition time between soft and rigid ...
2024Finding information-rich electrocardiographic biomarkers to characterize atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia; it will affect one in four adults worldwide in their lifetime. AF has serious consequences, including drastically increased risk of stroke. Catheter ablation surgery is an established treatmen ...
EPFL2023Left cardiac vagotomy rapidly reduces contralateral cardiac vagal electrical activity in anesthetized Gottingen minipigs
Background: The impact of acute unilateral injury on spontaneous electrical activity in both vagus nerves at the heart level is poorly understood. We investigated the immediate neuroelectrical response after right or left cardiac vagal nerve transection (V ...
Clare2023A single-beat algorithm to discriminate farfield from nearfield bipolar voltage electrograms from the pulmonary veins
Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Vincent Schlageter
Background Superimposition of farfield (FF) and nearfield (NF) bipolar voltage electrograms (BVE) complicates the confirmation of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Our aim was to develop an automatic algorithm ba ...
SPRINGER2023A Variable Stiffness Magnetic Catheter Made of a Conductive Phase-Change Polymer for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Dario Floreano, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake
Variable stiffness (VS) is an important feature that significantly enhances the dexterity of magnetic catheters used in minimally invasive surgeries. Existing magnetic catheters with VS consist of sensors, heaters, and tubular structures filled with low me ...
2022ECG-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 SA2021Dynamics of Intraprocedural Dominant Frequency Identifies Ablation Outcome in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Andréa Buttu, Etienne Pruvot, Alain Pithon
Background: The role of dominant frequency (DF) in tracking the efficiency of a stepwise catheter ablation (step-CA) in persistent atrial fibrillation (peAF) remains poorly studied. We hypothesized that the DF time-course during step-CA displays divergent ...
2021Heart Rate Variability Triangular Index as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Schlageter
Background Impaired heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with increased mortality in sinus rhythm. However, HRV has not been systematically assessed in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that parameters of HRV may be predictive o ...
WILEY2020Concealed abnormal atrial phenotype in patients with Brugada syndrome and no history of atrial fibrillation
Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Sasan Yazdani, Lukas Kappenberger
Objectives The electrocardiogram (ECG) of patients with BrS in sinus rhythm might reflect intrinsic atrial electrical abnormalities independent from any previous atrial fibrillation (AF). Aim of this study is to investigate the presence of P-wave abnormali ...
Elsevier2018Usefulness of P-Wave Duration and Morphologic Variability to Identify Patients Prone to Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Sasan Yazdani, Lukas Kappenberger
Few data are available on the assessment of P-wave beat-to-beat morphology variability and its ability to identify patients prone to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) occurrence. Aim of this study was to determine whether electrocardiographic (ECG) param ...
