Tandem Approach for Transvenous Lead Extraction: Efficacy, Safety, and Operational Learning Curve
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The need for transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is rising due to increased cardiovascular device implantation and an aging population. While the superior access is standard, complex cases may benefit from the Tandem approach, combining femoral and superior access to improve efficacy and safety.

Microelectrode recordings from the human cervical vagus nerve during maximal breath‐holds
Abstract Voluntary breath‐holds can be sustained for a long time following training, but ultimately, regardless of duration, the asphyxic break‐point is reached and the apnoea terminated. The physiological changes occurring during the apnoea include a marked increase in sympathetically‐mediated vasoconstriction in non‐essential organs, such as skeletal
