Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on the effects of using ethanol infusion in the vein of Marshall during mitral isthmus ablation procedures on patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation or peri-mitral flutter.
- * Results showed a high success rate (94.2%) in achieving acute mitral isthmus block with ethanol infusion, while complications were minimal, highlighting this technique's potential effectiveness in treating these heart conditions.
Background: Several trials investigating erythropoietin as a novel cytoprotective agent in myocardial infarction (MI) failed to translate promising preclinical results into the clinical setting. These trials could have missed crucial events occurring in the first few minutes of reperfusion. Our study differs by earlier intracoronary administration of a longer-acting erythropoietin analogue at the onset of reperfusion.
