Severance Cardiovascular Hospital conducts first pulsed bowel resection training for domestic and foreign medical staff
Mar 05, 2025
Severance Cardiovascular Hospital conducted pulse field resection training for domestic and foreign cardiology professors for the first time in Korea on the 28th of last month.
Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA), the latest treatment for atrial fibrillation, is already widely used in developed countries such as the United States and Europe. It creates microscopic perforation in the heart with high-energy electrical pulses, preserving surrounding tissue and killing only myocardial cells that cause arrhythmia. The procedure time is within an hour.
In December last year, Severance Cardiovascular Hospital was the first hospital that performed the procedure on the first day of the introduction of PFA in Korea, and PFA has been performed on the largest number of patients with atrial fibrillation in Korea. Including the patients who performed this day, a total of 55 people are included. In response, domestic university hospitals such as Changwon Gyeongsang National University Hospital and Kyungpook National University Hospital, as well as professors from Queen Mary Hospital, were invited to educate them on the procedure. The procedure training was conducted by Professor Information Young and Yoo Hee-tae of Cardiology, who conducted PFA for the first time at Severance Cardiovascular Hospital.
Severance Cardiovascular Hospital is set to designate an international education center as well as a domestic education center during the first half of the year, and through this, it plans to provide PFA education to more overseas medical staff.
Professor Information Young said "As it was designated as a PFA education center for the first time in Korea, we will devote all know-how to treating and recovering patients with atrial fibrillation by transferring all know-how to domestic medical staff."
Meanwhile, the largest arrhythmia center in Korea, Severance Cardiovascular Hospital, is systematically managed from diagnosis to treatment in cooperation with 11 arrhythmia specialists and professors from various medical departments such as cardiovascular surgery and anesthesiology.
In addition, Severance Cardiovascular Hospital achieved 30,000 cases of the first arrhythmia procedure in Korea in June last year, and recently, more than 20,000 cases of arrhythmia electrode catheter resection were also performed. There are also 8,500 electrical device procedures such as a starter defibrillator.
