CATHETER ABLATION OF SUPRAVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA AND ATRIAL FLUTTER WITH NO OR MINIMAL USE OF FLUOROSCOPY: THE INITIAL EXPERIENCE OF A SINGLE BULGARIAN CENTER

Catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia and atrial flutter with no or minimal use of fluoroscopy: the initial experience of a single Bulgarian center

 Introduction: Catheter ablation (CA) is an established therapy for most arrhythmias.Non-fl uoroscopic three-dimensional (3D) electroanatomic mapping systems allow ablation of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and atrial fl utter (AFL) with zero or near-zero fl uoroscopy (ZF/NZF).The current study aims to rep

The effects of oil additives and mating materials to the friction, wear and seizure characteristics of a-C: H coating

In this study, friction and wear behaviour of amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) DLC coating slide against SUJ2, TiC and TiN mating material disks in Base and ZnDTP+MoDTC oils boundary lubrication is comparatively investigated to determine the most favourable DLC/mating material/lubricant and interrelated tribofilm formation mechanism on each ma
