Intermittent Ventricular Pre‐Excitation: Clinical Features and Electrophysiological Properties
ABSTRACT Background Intermittent ventricular pre‐excitation has long been considered a low‐risk marker for sudden death. Accessory pathways (APs) with high‐risk intermittent antegrade conductive properties may exist, but this still represents a gray area in current guidelines.

From Failure to Success: Lithotripsy Transforms Lead Extraction in a Same‐Patient Case
ABSTRACT Introduction Cardiac implantable electronic device infections often necessitate extraction, which can be complicated by calcified adhesions, leading to increased procedural risk and reduced efficacy. Given these challenges, intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) has been proposed as a tool for lead extraction to aid in overcoming calcification.

The novel EPI‐VT‐Score accurately predicts the need for epicardial VT ablation using simple clinical, echocardiographic and ECG variables, optimizing patient selection and procedural outcomes. ABSTRACT Background Epicardial ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation is a therapeutic option for drug‐refractory VT, particularly when endocardial ablation fails
