BACKGROUND: The immediate impact of catheter ablation on left atrial mechanical function and the timeline for its recovery in patients undergoing ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) remain uncertain. The mechanical function response to catheter ablation in patients with different AF types is poorly understood. METHODS: A total of 113 AF patients were included in this retrospective study. Each patient had three magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies in sinus rhythm: one pre-ablation, one immediate post-ablation (within 2 days after ablation), and one post-ablation follow-up MRI (≤ 3 months)...

BACKGROUND: The TactiFlex SE catheter (TFSE, Abbott) with a contact force (CF) sensor and a laser-cut irrigated-tip has recently become available but lacks a lesion quality marker. This study aimed to explore distinctions in lesion characteristics between the TFSE and the ThermoCool SmartTouch SurroundFlow catheter (STSF, Biosense Webster), which utilizes a porous irrigated tip, and to assess the most effective application settings for the TFSE. METHODS: Lesions were generated using varying settings of radiofrequency power (30-50 W), CF (10-20 g), application duration (10-40 s), and catheter orientation (perpendicular or parallel) in an ex vivo porcine model...

BACKGROUND: Vascular complications are a common occurrence during atrial fibrillation ablation. Observational studies indicate that the utilization of ultrasound (US)-guided puncture may decrease the incidence of vascular complications; however, its routine use is not established in many centres. METHODS: Patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation were included sequentially. All patients receiving US-guided punctures were prospectively enrolled (US group), while patients who underwent the procedure with standard puncture technique served as control group (No-US group)...

BACKGROUND: Permanent pacing is often required following valve intervention (either surgical or percutaneous); however, tricuspid interventions pose specific challenges to conventional pacing. Therefore, leadless pacemaker (LP) implantation may be the preferred strategy when permanent pacing is required after tricuspid valve intervention. PURPOSE: To report periprocedural outcomes and follow-up of patients undergoing implantation of a LP system following tricuspid valve interventions...

BACKGROUND: Roughly one in six patients receiving conventional transvenous pacemaker systems experience significant complications within 1 year of implant, mainly due to the transvenous lead and subcutaneous pocket. A new helix-fixation single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemaker (LP) system capable of pre-deployment exploratory electrical mapping is commercially available. Such an LP may mitigate complications while streamlining the implantation. In this study, the initial real-world implant experience of the helix-fixation LP was evaluated following its commercial release...

BACKGROUND: Cardioneuroablation has been emerging as a potential treatment alternative in appropriately selected patients with cardioinhibitory vasovagal syncope (VVS) and functional AV block (AVB). However the majority of available evidence has been derived from retrospective cohort studies performed by experienced operators. METHODS: The Cardioneuroablation for the Management of Patients with Recurrent Vasovagal Syncope and Symptomatic Bradyarrhythmias (CNA-FWRD) Registry is a multicenter prospective registry with cross-over design evaluating acute and long-term outcomes of VVS and AVB patients treated by conservative therapy and CNA...

BACKGROUND: CRAFT was an international, multicentre, randomised controlled trial across 11 sites in the United UK and Switzerland. Given the evidence that pulmonary vein triggers may be responsible for atrial flutter (AFL) as well as atrial fibrillation (AF), we hypothesised that cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) would provide greater symptomatic arrhythmia reduction than cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation, whilst also reducing the subsequent burden of AF. Twelve-month outcomes were previously reported...

BACKGROUND: High-power short-duration (HPSD) ablation has emerged as an alternative to conventional standard-power long-duration (SPLD) ablation. We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of HPSD versus SPLD for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) retrieved from PubMed, WOS, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were performed through August 2023. We used RevMan V. 5.4 to pool dichotomous data using risk ratio (RR) and continuous data using mean difference (MD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI)...

BACKGROUND: Transvenous lead removal (TLR) is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. This study sought to evaluate the impact of TLR on in-hospital mortality and outcomes in patients with and without CIED infection. METHODS: From January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2020, we utilized the nationally representative, all-payer, Nationwide Readmissions Database to assess patients who underwent TLR. We categorized TLR as indicated for infection, if the patient had a diagnosis of bacteremia, sepsis, or endocarditis during the initial admission...

INTRODUCTION: Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) functions are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from electromagnetic fields (EMF). Data on EMI risks from new-generation electronic appliances (EA) are limited. OBJECTIVE: We performed a systematic literature review on the mechanisms of EMI, current evidence, and recently published trials evaluating the effect of EMF on CIEDs from electric vehicles (EV), smartphone, and smartwatch technology and summarize its safety data...

BACKGROUND: Traditional cardiac pacemakers commonly have a range of complications related to the presence of intracardiac leads. A new class of extravascular and leadless pacemakers has recently emerged with the potential to mitigate these complications and expand access to cardiac pacing. The objective of this study is to evaluate the implantation, short-term chronic safety, and performance of a novel subxiphoidal extracardiac pacemaker. METHODS: Normal Yorkshire Cross swine (n = 16) were implanted with the subxiphoidal pacemaker...

BACKGROUND: The importance of a wider circumferential isolation of the pulmonary veins (PV), which includes a large portion of the left atrial posterior wall (LAPW), has been suggested in several studies. However, the extended isolation area using a larger inflated visually guided laser balloon (VGLB) ablation remains to be elucidated. METHODS: Seventy-eight patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who underwent VGLB ablation were enrolled in this prospective study...
