Pulmonary vein isolation using robotic radiosurgery system CyberKnife is a new non-invasive treatment of atrial fibrillation, currently in clinical phase. Robotic radiosurgical pulmonary vein isolation (RRPVI) uses stereotactic, non-invasive (painless) pinpoint radiation energy delivery to a small, precise area to accomplish ablation. The purpose of this report is to describe the finding of an increase in the enhancement of the left atrium demonstrated with the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE-CMR) as a result of RRPVI in the first case in the world in humans using CyberKnife as a treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
使用射波刀机器人放射外科系统进行肺静脉隔离是一种治疗心房颤动的新型非侵入性疗法,目前正处于临床阶段。机器人放射外科肺静脉隔离术(RRPVI)利用立体定向、非侵入性(无痛)的精确辐射能量传递至一个小的精确区域来完成消融。本报告的目的是描述在世界上首例使用射波刀治疗阵发性心房颤动(PAF)的人体病例中,通过延迟钆增强心脏磁共振成像(LGE-CMR)发现RRPVI导致左心房强化增加的情况。
