Do igG receptor IIa alleles determine susceptibility and severity of Guillain-Barré syndrome?
FcgammaRIIa allotypes capable of initiating efficient cellular effector functions are associated with increased risk for GBS and a more severe disease course. FcgammaR alleles may constitute novel genetic risk markers for GBS.
Our results demonstrate that the acute success rate following typical atrial flutter isthmus ablation using an 8 mm tip catheter with a 150 W generator is high. No complications occurred. Moreover, the documentation of just the clockwise isthmus block using a minimal approach according to local electrogram criteria is a good predictor of the long-term success.
