RF time

During the workshop, we plan to perform five complex RF ablation procedures with dense mapping of the atrial cardiomyopathy substrate. The ablation procedures will be transmitted live to the lecture hall. For those willing, there is a possibility to participate in the procedures in the EP Laboratory.

We are very pleased that we will be able to host very experienced electrophysiologists not only from Poland but also from abroad. The planned lectures are directly related to our main topic during this year’s edition of the RF Workshop: dense mapping and RF ablation of the atrial cardiomyopathy substrate.

We want these to be Workshops with active participation of Participants. Learning about a different approach to the same problem, mutual exchange of experiences, constructive criticism and suggestions is what builds our experience and knowledge. As part of the theoretical part, we will share our own experience with difficult and interesting RF ablations.

Vascular access can be a challenge for each of us. It can be a vascular malformation, a congenital anomaly or other vascular procedures that make access difficult. Such a challenge for us was a patient with a bilateral Y prosthesis, in whom the application of a classic compression dressing or a hemostatic suture could significantly disrupt blood flow in the prostheses placed shallowly subcutaneously. The need of the hour was the first use of PerClose™, which we currently use routinely for both venous and arterial access. During the Workshops, there will be an opportunity to see live vessel closure with the PerClose™ system and, for those willing, to undergo training to obtain a PerClose™ certificate.
