PAWTUCKET – It's closing time for your Pawtucket Red Sox – as in closing out the opposition and advancing to the Governor's Cup finals.
First things first as the PawSox still need to notch one more win against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Such a scenario could come to fruition as early as Friday night at Rochester's Frontier Field after Pawtucket grabbed Game Two of its opening-round series Thursday night by a 3-2 count at McCoy Stadium before 2,214 supportive and at times enthusiastic fans.
The PawSox now lead the best-of-five series, two games to none. They can polish off the division champion Yankees tonight with Billy Buckner getting the pitching nod for Arnie Beyeler's crew.
Should Pawtucket knock off Scranton one more time, it would advance the franchise's first championship series since 2003. Prospect Bryce Brentz drove in two of Pawtucket's runs – one of which tied the contest at 2-all in the seventh inning – and also wound up scoring the go-ahead run in the same frame, doing so in hustling fashion.
Sliding into third after Jon Hee singled through the right side of the infield, Brentz proved to be enough of a distraction that the throw from right fielder Cole Garner wound up getting past Yankees third baseman Kevin Russo. Realizing what was going on, Brentz quickly rose to his feet before scampering home with what proved to be the deciding run.
"I took a normal slide and the ball happened to get by," said Brentz, who now has five hits in his last three games after going hitless in his first four games with Pawtucket. "Once I saw it go by, I took off."
In keeping with the theme of the opening game of this series, Pawtucket fell behind in the early innings before coming up with a number of timely hits that enabled the bullpen to finish the deal. The PawSox trailed 2-0 heading into the last of the fifth before beginning what proved to be the team's 39th comeback performance of the season.
After leaving two runners aboard in the fourth, the PawSox began the fifth on a positive note with catcher Dan Butler reaching on an error that enabled him to get in scoring position. Butler didn't remain on the base paths for long as the next hitter, Brentz, blasted a shot to right-center for a run-scoring double that allowed Pawtucket to get on the scoreboard.
PawSox starter Chris Hernandez made sure it remained a one-run deficit, though it required some effort on his part. The first two batters reached in the sixth before Hernandez elicited a 6-4-3 double play. With a Scranton runner at third, Hernandez got Austin Romine to bounce out to third for the final out.
Hernandez wound up turning in his best performance since joining the PawSox in late July, working six innings of two-run ball that featured five strikeouts and two walks.
One night after three relievers combined to toss four scoreless innings, the PawSox' bullpen clamped down once again. Brentz' heroics turned Scott Atchison into the winning pitcher after the veteran righty tossed 1 1/3 innings of scoreless ball. Atchison (10 pitches, six for strikes) then handed the ball off to Will Inman, who promptly retired the two batters he faced in the eighth.
By no means was it perfect, but Jose De La Torre was able to nail down the final three outs en route to picking up his second save in as many nights. De La Torre struck out two while working his way around a pair of singles.
By his own admission, Alex Hassan is fine and healthy. So why does the outfielder remain on the disabled list, where he's been for the past three weeks?
At this point, the Red Sox are exercising supreme caution with Hassan. The very idea of him reopening the laceration on his left leg is a chance no one is willing to take, hence why it's safe to say that the 24-year-old has played in his final game in 2012.
"I've never been hurt. It's just in a location where it's tough to play because if I slide in the outfield or on the bases, it can reopen," said Hassan. "If it was on (his right leg), it might have been a different story, but it's certainly been frustrating and just one of those things that's out of my control.
"It's just a matter that it could happen again; it's not 100 percent closed up yet," Hassan added. "More or less, it's been more of a waiting game."
This marks the first time Hassan has spent significant time on the D.L. since getting drafted by Boston in 2009. The initial injury occurred in late July and initially required up to six stitches. He appeared in seven games in early August, yet it was clear that he was still favoring the tender spot, hitting .120 (3-for-25).
"You can cover and pad it like we did before, but it opened up again," said PawSox skipper Arnie Beyeler about what led to Hassan getting shut down a second time. "He's probably healed up to play, but if he opened it back up, now we're back to square one with the greater chance of infection."
Hassan has progressed to the point where he can hit and field, but that's proven to be the extent of the baseball-related activities that he can perform. His first season at the Triple-A level featured plenty of ebbs and flows as he wound up hitting .256 with seven home runs and 46 RBI in 94 games.
"It's a little bittersweet; I've been here all year and would like to play in the playoffs," said Hassan.

|Fire Damages Blowing Rock Home
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 03 June 2013 15:39
Fire damaged a Blowing Rock area home. Fire units were dispatched to 674 Goforth Road where residents reported that flames and smoke were coming from the upper portion of the house, possibly the attic area. Blowing Rock fire reported that the fire was under control within about 15 minutes of the 2:10pm
call, and were working to ventilate the home to remove the smoke.

On the eve of the fifteenth anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing there is talk of developing a state-supported but privately run militia group to protect citizens from "an overreaching federal government" recently epitomized by the passage of healthcare legislation. Talk of a militia group stokes emotional fires on either side of the debate. With recent militia busts in Michigan where plots were underway to attach law enforcement many argue that forming a separate militia group is going too far. Others, harkening to Confederate-era rhetoric of state's rights, suggest that the individual citizen deserves a guarantee of protection from a federal government that is increasingly interfering in individual lives and state rights.
Indeed, so-called "Patriot" groups are on the rise. The Southern Poverty Law Center reports that since 2008, the number of patriot groups has risen from 149 to 512. Of these groups, 127 are militias. Though these groups are becoming more popular and anti-government rhetoric is on the rise, the concern is less with the formation of the groups than the way in which they may harbor lone extremist individuals seeking a forum for their anger and justification for violent acts. In a recent Christian Science Monitor piece, a member of the Hutaree militia is reported as apparently helping in the bust of the plans against law enforcement. The article argues that militias are acutely aware of the dangers that single rogue members can pose and how these members' actions can hurt the message of the groups.
Any group risks its own identity — and indeed has to be flexible in this regard — when growing its base, militias would be no different. But impassioned arguments mixed with the right to bear arms could be a bit more concerning. A recent article in the Social and Personality Psychology Compass suggests that when it comes to morality, the psychological stakes are much higher than other attitudes or motivations. "Moral convictions" the author argues, are psychologically distinct from other attitudes and are more likely to compel a person to become politically involved but to also be more accepting of violence as a means to an end. The outcomes of such convictions are simultaneously reassuring and troubling. While organizing to protect rights is an activity that activists across the political spectrum engage in, it raises the question as to how we possibly begin to find a common ground or make progress on issues that register at such personal levels. As the author points out, moral convictions give us the courage to act, but they have also been used to justify heinous crimes. The cases of proliferating militias will force us to consider the nuances of moral convictions and the complicated nature of defending the rights of the individual (or, in this case, states). This reminds me of two of my favorite sayings by my high school government teacher: "I may not agree with your opinions but I'll defend til death your right to say them" which was often shortly followed by "your rights end where mine begin." Gray areas are, indeed, quite gray.

It may not be the most popular candy on the store shelf, but for Evelyn Viernes, salt water taffy is a ticket home to her favorite place on earth. Her essay is part of our Friday series produced in partnership with the Telling Room in Portland.
My saltwater taffy resides in a rustic wooden box that has been a part of my family for many years. When I take a piece out to eat, an ethereal experience becomes mine. No matter where my feet touch the ground, a transformation takes place. By the power of its flavor, my saltwater taffy brings me back home.
An inch of space on a crumpled-up map; just a place - the candy takes me there. To some, it's a faded painting of a lighthouse relaxing next to a beautiful sea.
But wait! It's more, it's bigger, it's so many blueberries with succulent navy lips and lobsters with rich red masquerades waiting to be eaten. It's ocean salt sitting heavily in the air, twisting and tangling through the wind. There are boats dotting the harbor like millions of stars in the sky.
Look! There's a chickadee perched upon the fence. He's smiling. And over there, a honeybee is coasting through the wind. A single white pinecone basks in the sun. It's the birthplace of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. It's where Katahdin stands tall, boasting 5,286 feet above sea level, the highest point in the state!
It was welcomed into the Union on March 15, 1820. It glides out of the mouth easily, the only U.S. state with one simple syllable in its name.
Behind the glory and smile-inducing environment, it's my home. It's my heart and my childhood and my memories washing up to shore like tangles of brackish olive seaweed. I was born here, I was raised here, and I will always come back.
It's the most beautiful place on the map. There are treasures here and there: a sunken ship, interchangeable seasons, joy. It's like a comfortable vacation: sunny, snowy, soggy - whatever! It fits like your favorite sweatshirt. It's all in the flavors of saltwater taffy and sounds like boat horns and cawing birds and sloshing waves.
Summer brings sandy beach towels and deep swarthy tans. It brings ice cream and warm wind and alluring sunsets. It touches your toes and scatters up your entire body, lacing your skin with an invigorating sensation that seeps through to your soul. It carries luminous seashells and calm starfish. Fall produces hearty leaves in a panoply of fresh colors. It brings crisp, heavy air and mouth-watering turkey.
Winter makes dense snow dash through the sky like it's been electrically charged. It is responsible for warm fires and cozy wool socks. Spring gives morning dew and the smell of sweet grass. It brings fresh weather and big smiles. It is a vacationland, indeed!
It is a serene escape from the rest of the world, a relaxing nap on an ocean-adjoining rock. It is a picnic on the shoreline, or an afternoon spent exploring a grove. It is a hearty bowl of soup on a chilly afternoon. It is where I learned how to ride a bike, where I first swam in the ocean. It's where I caught my first fish. It is my youth, my education, my Tuesday playdates with my best friend. It's where an angry hornet stung me.
It's my world; the only place I can ever call home. It is impossible to completely describe why I love it, why I live it.
But on a crumpled up map, it's described in one word: Maine.
My saltwater taffy isn't just candy; it's a pastel-colored passport to my favorite place. Even when I'm miles away from home, the sweet gems in my wooden box can always bring me back.

Going Postal (Discworld Novels)by Terry Pratchett
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Suddenly, condemned arch-swindler Moist von Lipwig found himself with a noose around his neck and dropping through a trapdoor into...a government job?
By all rights, Moist should be meeting his maker rather than being offered a position as Postmaster by Lord Vetinari, supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork. Getting the moribund Postal Service up and running again, however, may prove an impossible task, what with literally mountains of decades-old undelivered mail clogging every nook and cranny of the broken-down post office. Worse still, Moist could swear the mail is talking to him. Worst of all, it means taking on the gargantuan, greedy Grand Trunk clacks communication monopoly and its bloodthirsty piratical headman. But if the bold and undoable are what's called for, Moist's the man for the job — to move the mail, continue breathing, get the girl, and specially deliver that invaluable commodity that every being, human or otherwise, requires: hope.
"British fantasist Pratchett's latest special-delivery delight, set in his wonderfully crazed city of Ankh-Morpork, hilariously reflects the plight of post offices the world over as they struggle to compete in an era when e-mail has stolen much of the glamour from the postal trade. Soon after Moist von Lipwig (aka Alfred Spangler), Pratchett's not-quite-hapless, accidental hero, barely avoids hanging, Lord Havelock Vetinari, the despotic but pretty cool ruler of Ankh-Morpork, makes him a job offer he can't refuse — postmaster general of the Ankh-Morpork Post Office. The post office hasn't been open for 20 years since the advent of the Internet-like clacks communication system. Moist's first impulse is to try to escape, but Mr. Pump, his golem parole officer, quickly catches him. Moist must then deal with the musty mounds of undelivered mail that fill every room of the decaying Post Office building maintained by ancient and smelly Junior Postman Groat and his callow assistant, Apprentice Postman Stanley. The place is also haunted by dead postmen and guarded by Mr. Tiddles, a crafty cat. Readers will cheer Moist on as he eventually finds himself in a race with the dysfunctional clacks system to see whose message can be delivered first. Thanks to the timely subject matter and Pratchett's effervescent wit, this 29th Discworld novel (after 2003's Monstrous Regiment) may capture more of the American audience he deserves. Agent, Ralph M. Vicinanza. (On sale Sept. 28) Forecast: Despite sales of more than 35 million copies of his books worldwide, Pratchett has yet to become a U.S. bestseller. This one may finally break him out of category." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[A] deeply satisfying comedy about a man sent to a fate worse than death: the post office....Sharp-edged humor — and wonderfully executed." Kirkus Reviews
"Instead of revisiting old characters, Pratchett again takes on the task of further rounding out his already beautifully imagined Discworld, doing it with his usual blending of good laughs and unexpected depths." Booklist
"The author's inventiveness seems to know no end, his playful and irreverent use of language is a delight, and there is food for thought in his parody of fantasyland....[A] surefire hit for fans of Douglas Adams and Monty Python." School Library Journal
"The incredibly prolific Pratchett does it again....This novel will be greedily welcomed by Pratchett fans and should garner new ones." VOYA
"It is guided by a conscience, and, despite the fact that it moves quite rapidly and very deviously, the novel never loses its way. Going Postal is a truly Dickensian novel for our dizzyingly paced Information Age." Dallas Morning News
"Going Postal may be Terry Pratchett's most ingenious fictional invention yet. His satiric wit is honed to a fine edge..." BookReporter.com
The newest entry in Pratchett's internationally bestselling series is a splendid send-up of government, the postal system, and everything that lies in between.
Arch-swindler Moist Van Lipwig never believed his confidence crimes were hanging offenses — until he found himself with a noose tightly around his neck, dropping through a trapdoor, and falling into...a government job?

RICK DiPIETRO COULD BE BACK REAL SOONCiti Field talk, Hamonic, JT at Modell's tonight
NEW: Burke says Okposo, others will still be scouted
FanHouse: Next up for the NHL Winter Classic
2:00 pm – Rick DiPietro is the story today. After playing complete games Friday and Sunday, the all-rehabbed-out goaltender practiced with the Islanders for close to two hours today. Even when the formal workout ended, he stayed on the ice and stopped pucks until the last teammate left the ice. There's no way for DiPietro or anyone else to by anything but encouraged by the latest in the year-long turn of events.
Scott Gordon was surprised, albeit pleasently, by DiPietro's presence on the ice at Iceworks this morning. "I did not expect him here today," said the Islanders head coach. "I'm sure if he had any doubts, he wouldn't be out there." Gordon would not commit to anything else – whether DiPietro will be on this week's Western swing, if he'll start a game, nothing.
DiPietro tried his best not to show any glee, but it was apparent this is the most optimistic he's been during his attempted comeback after a year away from the NHL. "It feels good to feel like myself again," was the money quote. He also let down his guard a bit, talking about the day he was told he needed to be shut down for knee surgery and wondering when he would ever play again. I've known the kid long enough to tell you that DiPietro would not have said that if he didn't think his next game was soon.
Then it was back to the usual routine: he feels "good." He's "pretty happy." He's "playing it by ear." He "hopes to prove he's ready to contribute." "I still hold my breath." And then, "I don't know what the plan is, to be honest."
I believe him on that last one. Expect Mr. Snow or Mr. Gordon to at least acknowledge by tomorrow that DiPietro will fly with the team to Colorado on Tuesday. In reality, the goalie doesn't have anywhere else to go. (UPDATE: DiPietro is confirmed to be on trip).
The next part is the trickiest. After playing games Friday and Sunday and practicing all out today, can the Islanders really let DiPietro go more than a full week before he plays another game? How about this for a rotation – Dwayne Roloson on Wednesday in Colorado, DiPietro on Friday in Dallas, Martin Biron Saturday in Phoenix – the site of Rick's last NHL game a year ago?
Really now…why the heck not? DiPietro has done his time in the minors, and the Islanders have to find out what they have sooner or later.
Finally, DiPietro was asked what it would mean to him to join his buddies and teammates on the road trip. "I might get homesick," DiPietro kidded. "I don't think I've been away from my home for more than a day."
Notes: Sean Bergenheim and Nate Thompson practiced with the team today and will make the road trip. Gordon said he doubted they would both play all three games, but "I will try to work them in." A banged-up Brendan Witt got the day off.
Noon, Iceworks: The halftime report…
The DiPietro Suffle: Rick DiPietro practiced with the Islanders today, a sign of good health after playing full games with the Sound Tigers on Friday and Sunday. According to Islanders PR maven Seth Sylvan, he has been officially recalled from his conditioning stint in the American Hockey League. Your Islanders now have three goaltenders.
Two-A-Days: With little practice time lately and the gritty-gutties not exactly firing on all cylinders, Scott Gordon is treating today like training camp. A 65-minute practice is being followed by another workout after Iceworks man Terry Zambonies the ice. While he does, most of the players are skating on the adjacent small rink.
Citi of Hope: Charles Wang told Katie Strang of Newsday today over the phone that he'd love to see his Islanders play the Rangers at Citi Field in Queens. I would hope so, since Islanders staffers first worked on an outdoor game before there was even a Heritage Classic in Edmonton.
Unless there is going to be a doubleheader, I don't see the Islanders getting a game in Citi Field – at least on New Year's Day 2011. If the Winter Classic comes to New York as a single game next year, you're probably looking at the Rangers vs. the Washington Ovies.
More importantly, I look forward to Charles' responses about the Lighthouse Project and the future of his team on Long Island.
One Cure for the Hamonic Blues: Very sad for Travis Hamonic that he's going to miss Canada's gold medal game on Tuesday against the United States. On the bright side for the 19-year-old defenseman, he already proved himself to the few who didn't know how much he's developed since the Islanders selected him in the second round in the 2008 draft.
Although Pierre McGuire was wise yesterday to point out how the Moose Jaw Warriors will not make the playoffs and Hamonic would be available to the Islanders, he could be traded to a Western Hockey League contender. Here's one way the Islanders can cheer up Hamonic: finalize his NHL Entry Level three-year contract.
Open Practice!?: Practice at Iceworks today was opened to the public, which was kinda sorta wacky since 95% of Americans returned to work and school today.
Today's Equation: Writing down Gordon's lines for a Monday practice when the name game is on Wednesday = waste of time.
Tavares at Modell's Tonight: The 2009 first overall pick will be signing one autograph per person at the Modell's on Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow tonight from 6-7:30 pm. I'd get there early to guard against a letdown. Only the first 150 fans are guaranteed a signature. Don't tell my kids about this event.
More to come in the next hour or so. Comments.

These cute designs are perfect for almost any occasion! Use the latest Cricut® cartridges to create unique and engaging designs.....
Click here to read product details
I am very confused with this cartridge and think that it lacks information on how to apply the "pop up" to the cards. I also think that the one example that was shown was not that easy to understand as well. I tried the pop up gas station, even got layers cut, but then when it came to adding a background and foreground I was totally stumped? I can normally take an image from a cartridge and figure out what/where and how I want to use it; but this with the pop ups has me totally stumped.
As a Circle member expecting really exclusive cartridges I am very dissatisfied with this cartridge. The Pop-Up cartridge released to the general public would have been much better for the Circle cartridge. The uses for Pop-Up Neighborhood are very limited.
Very difficult to use the correct function keys, follow the directions in the handbook and wishes they would look better when used as a flat cut.
I was very excited for the release of this cartridge but find it VERY difficult to create with because there are NOT clear directions/diagrams for constructing the "pop-up".
Even though I don't think I'll get a lot of use out of the various pop-up buildings on this cartridge, the other cuts on it are very cute. I did make a cute pop-up card using the schoolhouse and was very pleased with the outcome. One problem is that there aren't any instructions on how to build the pop-up OR how big you need to cut it to fit the various card sizes.

"Who can turn down cream cheese frosting, right? I'll often find a lonely can of pumpkin in my cupboard sometimes and this is a great way to use it up!! I have extra large cookie sheets (16 X 12 ) so I will double the frosting."
"Like many others, I have made this for years and everyone just loves it! It really is easy and is just so yummy it's hard to eat just one piece! I'll be making it again tomorrow for our Thanksgiving dinner."

Enjoying a Papas Fritas with a short pour of ETL before the ladies get home. Nice!
Had a Ghurka Ghost Asura with a pour of Fighting Cock. Paired quite nicely.
Having a La Riqueza no. 4.
Had a Undercrown Corona Viva(only one under a 50) with a double, neat of Angel's Envy at a local restaurant.
Another from the Big Smoke haul: a Foundry. Had a neat metal ring as well as a band. Spicy on the lips initially, but a very pleasant smoke overall. Started to get a little tar heavy towards the end.
And again once more another Monte 2.
Best regards, Tony

Rory Reid, the eldest son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), is the chief representative for a Chinese energy firm planning to build a $5-billion solar plant on public land in Laughlin, Nevada. ENN Energy Group, a clean-energy firm that manufactures a range of renewable-energy products, is seeking to construct its solar panel facility on a 9,000-acre stretch of land on a Clark County desert plot.
The controversy stems from the fact that Clark County officials voted to sell ENN the public land for $4.5 million, a figure startlingly below the $38.6-million appraisal. Conveniently, Sen. Reid has been one of ENN's most prominent supporters, having helped mobilize the firm during a 2011 trip to China. Reid's influence in the Chinese company has been so compelling that, according to Reuters, last month he tried to "pressure Nevada's largest power company, NV Energy, to sign up as ENN's first customer."
Both Rory and his father have since denied having ever discussed the $5-billion deal. A spokeswoman for Sen. Reid, Kristen Orthman, insisted that he'd never deliberated over the project with his son. Rory Reid added, "I have never discussed the project with my father or his staff."
Despite his assertions, critics say Rory Reid's political ties in the deal seems rather explicit. In addition to being the son of a prominent U.S. senator, he also formerly chaired the Clark County commission. Craig Holman, a lobbyist for the consumer rights advocacy group Public Citizen, said Rory's father is implicating himself in "an iffy ethical landscape" and should recuse himself from the solar project. "Is this just happening because ... it benefits the Reid family, or did Harry Reid actually believe in this?" Holman queried.

PARISHVILLE Two St. Lawrence County men died Monday night after their snowmobiles crashed through the ice on the Rainbow Falls Reservoir at about 8 p.m., while a relative had to be hospitalized after he fell into the water during a rescue attempt.
State police identified the dead men as Robert Campbell, 78, of Norwood, and Robert Whalen, 87, of Canton. Troopers said both men were southbound on the snow-covered ice when they went into open water.
Two other men in their snowmobiling party attempted to rescue the fallen riders. Police said Daniel Campbell, 56, of Hammond, and David Livingston, 51, of Conesus, raced to shore, got a canoe and attempted to pull the other two men to safety. The younger Mr. Campbell, reportedly the older mans son, fell into the water during that effort.
State police, Sheriffs Department deputies, Department of Environmental Conservation units, rescue units from Parishville, Colton and Potsdam, and St. Lawrence County Dive Team members from Waddington, Lisbon and Massena assisted in the rescue effort.
The last man was pulled from the water shortly after 10 p.m.
The elder Mr. Campbell and Mr. Whalen were taken to Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam, where they were pronounced dead. The younger Mr. Campbell had to be treated for hypothermia, but information on his condition could not be confirmed Tuesday.
St. Lawrence County Coroner June Wood said the Campbell family asked that an autopsy not be performed on the elder mans body, and that his cause of death has been ruled hypothermia. An autopsy on Mr. Whalens body Tuesday afternoon determined his cause of death to be drowning, with hypothermia as a contributing factor.
According to his obituary, which appears on Page B5, Mr. Campbell was a retired Niagara Mohawk employee and avid outdoorsman.
Mr. Whalen was a longtime figure in the Canton business community, where he was a partner in the Witherbee & Whalen monument company on Hodskin Street.

With Patient Deaths, the Afib Cryoablation Bloom is Off the Rose
It has long been recognized that esophageal ulceration can occur with cryoablation balloon catheters, but esophageal perforation has previously not been widely reported. The challenge for the technology, of course, is the ability to control the depth of lesion during long applications of freezing applications is difficult, especially when the technology is compared with the rapid onset and offset of existing radiofrequency energy applications.
I suspect we'll be hearing more about this soon in the scientific literature (at least I hope), but for now, electrophysiologists should be aware that cryoablation for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation, just like radiofrequency ablation, can cause esophageal perforation and should be used with appropriate caution.
Addendum: The direct link to the FDA Maude database reporting the patient death from cryoablation.
Another case report in the literature: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1540-8167.2012.02324.x/abstract;jsessionid=ABE88B7ED0954662425E6946A0633063.d04t02?deniedAccessCustomisedMessage=&userIsAuthenticated=false

While i agree with your argument, the case report is from 2012 not 2013.

Thanks for the clarification. But to make sure the point is not missed, it is widely recognized by many in the EP community that there have been other deaths that have occurred in 2013, like this one.
Granted, the numbers of deaths from esophageal perforation in absolute terms has been relatively small (as far as I can tell <0.1%), but the long-standing belief that cryoablation cannot cause such injury is clearly not true.
- Fri Apr 19, 03:46:00 PM CDT
As someone who just had a successful PV Isolation via cryoablation this is an interesting topic.
Is it possible to surmise--I realize this is a small sample--whether these deaths are due to patient anatomy? Or, possibly, EP's who aren't yet well-trained in the procedure?
- Fri May 10, 03:50:00 PM CDT
There have been 6 cases of esophageal fistulae for afib out of over 60,000 cases worldwide. Most of these did not result in death. Invasive procedures all have an element of risk. The scientific community will continue to learn about how to avoid this complication. It appears most likely related to over treatment. Cryo still remains a highly effective and safe approach for afib ablation
