Utility of High-frequency Jet Ventilation in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management (2021)

Savalan Babapoor-Farrokhran Jafar Alzubi Zachary Port Ola Khraisha Sumeet K. Mainigi

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinically significant arrhythmia that causes major morbidity and mortality.Catheter ablation focusing on pulmonary vein isolation is increasingly used for the treatment of symptomatic AF.Advances in ablation technologies and improved imaging and mapping have enhanced treatment efficiency but only modestly improved the efficacy.Another-but less commonly used-technology that can have a favorable impact involves enhancing the catheter-tissue contact by manipulating respiration to promote improved catheter stability and optimal contact.High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is a mode of ventilation that can reduce respiratory movements to almost apneic conditions.In this review article, we aimed to highlight different studies, review the current literature regarding the utility of HFJV in AF ablation, and discuss the safety and efficacy of this approach relative to that of conventional ventilation.

Left Ventricular Assist Device Thrombosis Treated with Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator in a Patient with COVID-19 Infection

The VAD Journal (2021)

Simone A. Jarrett Jafar Alzubi Savalan Babapoor-Farrokhran Zaid Ammari Mohammad Sarle

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is an established treatment for patients with end-stage, systolic heart failure as a bridge to heart transplantation or destination therapy. LVAD pump thrombosis is a life-threatening complication than can be triggered by prothrombotic conditions such as infection. Management of pump thrombosis presents as both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge that is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of pump thrombosis in a patient with a HeartMate II (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL) and coronavirus (COVID-19) infection that was treated successfully with an intravenous thrombolytic, tissue plasminogen activator.
