Sentence examples for node ablation from inspiring English sources

Randomized trials have demonstrated benefits of biventricular (BiV) pacing in patients with advanced heart failure, intraventricular conduction delay, and atrial fibrillation (AF) postatrioventricular (AV) node ablation.

Patients with either paroxysmal or chronic AF whose conditions were medically refractory and who were referred for an atrioventricular node ablation procedure all underwent pacemaker implantation.

The AV Node Ablation with CLS and CRT Pacing Therapies for Treatment of AF trial (AVAIL CLS/CRT) was designed to demonstrate superiority of BiV pacing in patients with AF after AV node ablation, to evaluate its effects on cardiac structure and function, and to investigate additional benefits of Closed Loop Stimulation® (CLS) (BIOTRONIK, Berlin, Germany).

Alternatively, a nonpharmacological approach (mainly atrioventricular node ablation coupled with pacing) can be considered.

Atrioventricular node ablation was performed when the ventricular pacing was <85%.

This assessment was undertaken after AV node ablation, with the rate of ventricular stimulation individualized to each patient based on the ventricular rate that had been observed in intrinsically conducted AF immediately prior to AV node ablation.

We report here the successful use of hepatic transarterial chemoembolization and retroperitoneal lymph node radiofrequency ablation in a patient with advanced leiomyosarcoma metastatic to the liver and retroperitoneum.

Administering CpG via the i.v. route results in the accumulation of draining lymph node DC after ablation but these DC exhibit only slightly enhanced levels of internalized antigen and CD80-expression when compared to cryo ablation alone.

Although these results imply that there might be no impairment in the ability to perform sentinel node biopsy after ablation with focussed ultrasound, further investigation is necessary.

Together, these results demonstrate that p.t. CpG injections significantly increase the numbers of antigen- and CpG-loaded, CD80-expressing draining lymph node DC after cryo ablation in vivo.

This article will discuss such techniques in three evolving areas: 1) management of the axilla after neoadjuvant chemotherapy; 2) sentinel node dissection; and 3) radiofrequency ablation of primary tumors of the breast.
