高压下滴流床反应器动持液量的测定

在常压－２．０ＭＰａ的系统压力下测定了滴流床中气－液两相并流下流动的动持液量,了气－液流率,液相粘度,填料大小,压力以及床层高度对动持液量的影响。实验结果表明增中液体流率动持流量增加,气体流率增加时,结果相反粘度的增加对动持液量的影响不大,动持液量随填料空隙率的增大而变小。     

Acute pulmonary vein reconnection is a predictor of atrial fibrillation recurrence following pulmonary vein isolation

Purpose

Arrhythmia recurrence following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) occurs predominantly due to the reconnection of previously isolated pulmonary veins (PVs). The prognostic implications of detection and treatment of acute PV reconnection are not well understood. We aim to examine the prognostic significance of acute PV reconnection on arrhythmia recurrence at 1 year following PVI.

Methods

This prospective study included 44 patients (22 men, 60?±?7 years) who underwent index PVI procedure for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Acute PV reconnection and/or dormant PV conduction were assessed sequentially in response to a 30-min waiting period, intravenous isoproterenol infusion and/or adenosine. All cases of acute PV reconnection and/or dormant conduction were successfully targeted with additional ablation.

Results

Freedom from AF at 1 year was 75 % (83.3 % in paroxysmal and 65 % in persistent AF, p?=?ns). Acute PV reconnection and/or dormant conduction were evident in 16 of 44 patients (36.3 %). AF recurrence was documented in eight of 16 patients with, but only in three of 28 patients without acute reconnection (p?=?0.009). Three patients underwent a redo procedure, all from the group of patients with acute PV reconnection. In a multivariate model, acute PV reconnection was a strong independent predictor of arrhythmia recurrence (hazards ratio [HR], 6.36; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.12–31.6).

Conclusion

Identification of acute PV reconnection, even when successfully targeted, is a strong predictor of arrhythmia recurrence following PVI.
