Ablation strategies for AF
theheart.org — “An ablation strategy that combines pulmonary vein isolation with substrate-based ablation works best for eliminating atrial fibrillation at one year when compared with ablation techniques targeting only the pulmonary veins or substrate, a new study has shown.” View full resource at theheart.org

AF ablation survey
theheart.org — “Clinicians are treating more and more AF patients with ablation, including those with persistent and long-lasting AF, a new survey shows. While the overall success of the procedure has not improved, the proportion of patients free from antiarrhythmic drug therapy after ablation is increasing, report investigators.” View full resource at theheart.org

Tubal Reversal And Endometrial Ablation
tubal-reversal.net — “Tubal reversal and pregnancy is possible after an endometrial ablation procedure. The reversal specialist of Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center explain the risk of pregnancy after ablation and provide advice on who are the best candidates for tubal reversal. They also discuss the role of hysteroscopy in the evaluation of the uterine cavity before performing a reversal after a prior endometrial ablation.” View full resource at tubal-reversal.net

Chapel Hill Tubal Reversal Center Medical Director - I have devoted my professional career of more than 30 years to improving the techniques of microsurgical tubal repair in order to be able to restore fertility and hope to women desiring to become pregnant after having their tubes tied. The surgical techniques that I have developed make outpatient tubal ligation reversal comfortable, safe, and affordable by eliminating the need for hospitalization and speeding the recovery process." /> Gary S Berger, MD Physician, Active Health Library, Doctor, ObGyn Physician, and Surgeon
Cryoballoon Ablation Coverage Endorsement
hrsonline.org — “On June 1, 2011, the Society submitted comments to the California Technology Assessment Forum (CTAF) in response to the Forum’s request for information on the safety and efficacy of cryoablation for AF patients. Citing studies on the modality, HRS indicated that there is adequate evidence available at this time to endorse the use of cryoballoon ablation for the treatment of drug refractory, symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.” View full resource at hrsonline.org
