LAHRS Content 2023-New Strategies for Catheter Ablation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The LARS scientific sessions focus on new catheter-based strategies to treat arrhythmias with reduced fluoroscopy usage to minimize radiation exposure. Dr. Ulises Rogel Martínez advocates for using technology like three-dimensional mapping devices to treat arrhythmias without radiation. He discusses the occupational risks of prolonged fluoroscopy and shares success stories of zero fluoroscopy procedures. Dr. Tomás Datino explores advancements like electroporation in atrial fibrillation ablation, emphasizing improved selectivity and effectiveness. The transcript delves into comparing treatments like radiofrequency ablation and electroporation for ventricular tachycardia, highlighting electroporation's benefits. It discusses complex accessory pathways in the heart, introduces radiotherapy for refractory ventricular tachycardia, and showcases a successful case study post-coronary bypass surgery. The importance of collaboration between medical specialties in embracing new techniques for improving patient treatment options is underscored.
