Central arteriovenous anastomosis for the treatment of patients with uncontrolled hypertension and paroxysmal AF
Abstract
&NA; A central iliac arteriovenous anastomosis, the ‘coupler’ (ROX Medical, California, USA) results in a significant reduction in blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This study assessed the change in AF burden following coupler implantation in patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF) and hypertension. Good blood pressure control using the coupler results in a significant reduction in AF burden.
