Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.Patients aged ≥ 80 years with atrial fibrillation underwent catheter ablation. At 2 years, the recurrence‐free survival rate was 85.8% in paroxysmal AF and 63.6% in persistent AF (p = 0.024), and periprocedural complications occurred in 12.0%, including severe complications in 3.3%.

Comparison of HEMOlysis Markers Among Three Pulsed Field Ablation Systems: HEMO‐PFA Study
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 1249-1258, June 2026.ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a novel non‐thermal modality for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. While hemolysis is a known complication of PFA, comparative data among different systems remain limited. Methods We prospectively enrolled 150 consecutive AF patients undergoing ablation with one of three PFA systems ...

Esophageal Injury Risk Factors in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Catheter Ablation
Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.Low BMI and reduced LVEF were independently associated with esophageal injury following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. All lesions were located near the left pulmonary vein and showed complete healing on follow‐up endoscopy. ABSTRACT Background and Aims Esophageal injury (EI) is a potentially serious complication of catheter ablation (CA ...

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 149-156, January 2026.ABSTRACT Background Same‐day discharge (SDD) after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) may improve patient satisfaction and optimize healthcare resources. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) offers a favorable safety profile, potentially enabling broader adoption of SDD strategies.

Cardiovascular Therapeutics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background The vein of Marshall (VOM) ethanol infusion is an adjunctive strategy for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, traditionally guided by VOM venography. However, venography does not allow real‐time evaluation of ethanol distribution and carries procedural risks.
