Retrospective Observational Study of the Carbon Dioxide Insufflation Technique ...
Figueiredo, Margarida G; Valente, Bruno; Magalhães, Leonor; Portugal, Guilherme; Santos, Hélder; Lousinha, Ana; Cunha, Pedro Silva; Cruz Ferreira, Rui: Accessing intramural or epicardial arrhythmogenic substrates is limited in endocardial ablation, and in these circumstances, epicardial ablation may overcome these limitations. Because epicardial access may be associated with severe complications, intentional distal coronary vein exit and carbon dioxide (CO) insufflation have emerged as techniques to facilitate safer access. : We conducted a single-centre ret...
Remote versus in-office monitoring for implantable cardioverter defibrillators:...
Oliveira, Mário; Fernandes, Milene; Reis, Hipólito; Primo, João; Sanfins, Victor; Silva, Vânia; Cunha, Pedro Silva; Silva, MónicaIntroduction: Remote monitoring (RM) is a safe and effective alternative to in-office conventional follow-up. Objective: We aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction with RM and its impact on healthcare resources in a population with cardiac implantable electronic devices. Methods: Randomized, pragmatic, open-label controlled trial, with adult wearers of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resy...
Duration of Atrial Fibrillation Episodes and Implications for the Thromboemboli...
Neves, David; Cunha, Pedro Silva; Oliveira, MárioIntroduction: Atrial fibrillation is the most common chronic arrhythmia in clinical practice, which is associated with a well known increased thromboembolic risk. The use of oral anticoagulants in this context is well established. However, there are some gaps in information that warrant further studies, such as the duration of an atrial fibrillation event that is long enough to increase the risk of embolic phen...
