CME PROVIDER: JIF Angio
Course Director: Dr Alexandre Avran
This programme is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC) for 1 hour of external CME credit. Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational activity.
The EP field is undergoing an important transformation with regard to standardize the Afib procedure, in a safe, effective and efficient way. The purpose of this webinar is to support participants interested in advancing their RF AF ablation practice and in knowing new experiences in using Ablation Index for PVI. The webinar faculty will discuss their experiences, presenting their data and sharing tip&tricks to reproduce and standardize a successful ablation strategy in a simple way.

Bashilov S. I have no video!
Chingiz S. hI! What we should do when making RF lesion between LSPV and LAA, if patient has arris(acute) angle(ridge)?
Matt W. When stability is an issue there are a few things that can be tried.
If using a fixed sheath (eg SR0) then you can go into the ostium of the LSPV and reduce the AI, eg 350. If under general anaesthesia you could ask for a period of apnoea, you could use a steerable sheath for better stability

Chingiz S. where is video?
Rajin C. great talk
Matt W. Thankyou.
There were a lot of questions we didn't have time to include.
There was a question on the routine use of integrated CT.
I don't personally do this. I prefer the real-time map made with the multipolar mapping catheter, as not only does it give me anatomy but also voltage information.
There was another question about what to do if you don't isolate on the first pass. There are a number of possibilities- pace and ablate along the line; interrogate the AI numbers along the line, look for the contiguity of each lesion- looking for the weakest link. Pace from inside the vein and map the exit, use the multipolar mapping catheter to guide you. It's best to have a number of ways of mapping gaps as sometimes one way will be better than others.
