Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation Techniques--StopAfib.org interviews Dr. Vivek Reddy Video Clips. Duration : 4.83 Mins.
In this video from Boston Atrial Fibrillation Symposium 2010, Dr. Vivek Reddy discusses some of the new atrial fibrillation catheter ablation technologies and also talks about non-pharmacological approaches to stroke prevention in afib, such as the Watchman and Lariat suture. Dr. Reddy is the Director of Electrophysiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. A full video transcript can be found at: stopafib.org
Meet the Catheter Ablation Procedure Experts at JFK Medical Center Video Clips. Duration : 0.78 Mins.
In order to do an ablation for atrial fibrillation, you really need to have a critical mass of things. You can't just have a doctor who knows how to do the ablation or has the surgical skill to do the ablation. You can't just have a four million dollar electrophysiology lab with state of the art x-rays, with state of the art mapping systems. You can't just have an anesthesiologist who knows how to deliver cardiac anesthesia. You can't just have a staff of nurses who knows how to set up the room and assist the doctor. You need to have it all. You need to have a critical mass of people in order to successfully and safely do this procedure. I like to think that at JFK Medical Center, we have it all. We have everything we need to safely and hopefully effectively fix a-fib in most patients who have atrial fibrillation.
