Abstract

Catheter ablation has been the go-to treatment for ventricular arrhythmia, with traditional fluoroscopy-guided and non-zero fluoroscopy (NZF) catheter ablation posing high radiation risk for operators and patients. Zero-fluoroscopy technique offers elimination of radiation risk; however, its efficacy and safety in ventricular arrhythmia patients are not well explored. The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of zero-fluoroscopy ablation on ventricular arrhythmia patients. This study only included relevant studies comparing zero-fluoroscopy and NZF in ventricular arrhythmia ablation that were identified from Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect (up to June 20, 2024). The quality of the study was assessed using the ROBINS-I tool, and the meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effect model. Out of 383 studies found, nine cohort studies were included with 1.408 patients. There was no significant difference in the acute procedural success rate of the zero-fluoroscopy and NZF (relative risk: 1.01; 95%CI: 0.95–1.07; p=0.69), with a similar recurrence rate (p=0.88; for four studies; n=374), and comparable procedural time (mean difference: -19.22 minutes; 95%CI: -41.16–2.72; p=0.09). Adverse events such as pericardial effusion, pseudoaneurysm, and hematoma were similar between zero-fluoroscopy and NZF. Overall, zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation has demonstrated non-inferiority as a treatment option for ventricular arrhythmia ablation. As zero-fluoroscopy eliminates radiation risk without compromising procedural efficacy, zero-fluoroscopy has the potential to become a widely adopted approach for catheter ablation in ventricular arrhythmia.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a disease that can occur in both developed and developing countries and is the second leading cause of death in the world. Stroke can cause various complications such as dysphagia. This study examines the efficacy of electrical stimulation (ES) as a treatment for dysphagia in post- stroke patients with various measurements of the severity of dysphagia. Objective: This study aims to review the efficacy of electrical stimulation on dysphagia in post-stroke patients. Methods: This study uses a systematic review method by following the guidelines from PRISMA. Articles are arranged based on keywords that have been determined in PICO, namely electrical stimulation, dysphagia, and stroke. Articles included in the inclusion criteria are RCTs, in English, and published between January 2013 and January 2023. Results: Eighteen studies that met the inclusion criteria were critically reviewed by the two authors. There were ten types of outcomes included in this systematic review and six of them had significant results for reducing the severity of dysphagia. Conclusion: ES can be given as the main therapy for post-stroke dysphagia patients. The six types of outcomes used to measure the degree of dysphagia, namely FOIS, PAS, FDS, PTT, OTT, and MASA, showed high significance associated with a reduction in the degree of dysphagia thereby reducing the risk of aspiration pneumonia by using this ES therapy.
