Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Guided by High‐Definition Intravascular Ultrasound (The SPECTRUM Study)

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 108, Issue 4, Page 1734-1742, October 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Limited data are available on the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients presenting with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Aims This study aimed to assess the impact of IVUS‐guided primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Successful Extensive Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation Without Leadless Pacemaker Interference

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
Although Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has demonstrated efficacy for atrial fibrillation, its safety in patients with leadless pacemaker remains uncertain. This case suggests that extensive PFA involving persistent left superior vena cava, superior vena cava, and left atrial posterior wall can be safely performed without device interference.

Clinical Advantages and Pitfalls of Pulsed Field Ablation: How to Prevent ALH Syndrome

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
Pulsed‐field (PF) Ablation Index (combined with average contact force and number of PF pulses) accurately predicted lesion depth in the prospective validation study. Importantly, no lesion formation was observed in the absence of electrode–tissue contact when the ablation electrode was positioned only 1–2 mm away from the endocardium. ABSTRACT Catheter

Optical coherence tomography catheter-induced vasospasm of the left anterior descending artery: A case report

Radiology Case Reports
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) helps identify coronary artery disease of different etiologies. Vasospasm from OCT catheter is a rarely reported complication that is more commonly seen in the right coronary artery.

A Combination of Tachycardia-Mediated Heart Failure and Coronary Artery Vasospasm-Induced Silent Myocardial Infarction in a Patient with Severe Thyrotoxicosis

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2018
Severe thyrotoxicosis can present with a myriad of cardiovascular complications. It may be mild features such as palpitations, tachycardia, and exertional dyspnea or may progress to life-threatening consequences such as atrial fibrillation ...

First United States Experience With Focal Pulsed‐Field Ablation Using the FARAPOINT Catheter for Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 10, Page 2409-2412, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) after failed radiofrequency (RF) ablation remains a clinical challenge. Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is expanding to ventricular applications, but United States experience with focal pulsed‐field‐only catheters in VT is sparse, and pulsed‐field platforms are not equivalent across ...

Multiple Intimal Injuries Associated With Severe Coronary Spasm

Clinical Case Reports
Coronary vasospasm is a recognized but underappreciated cause of out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest. However, the intracoronary imaging features associated with life‐threatening vasospastic events have not been fully characterized.

Angiography‐Negative Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Detected After Emergent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Non‐ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Neurological deterioration, headache, vomiting, bradycardia, or hypertension after emergent percutaneous coronary intervention should prompt immediate brain imaging. When subarachnoid hemorrhage is detected shortly after coronary stenting, the hemorrhage onset may remain uncertain, and antiplatelet decisions require individualized ...

When Myocardial Injury in Lupus Is Not Lupus: Probable Antimalarial‐Associated Cardiomyopathy Mimicking Lupus Myocarditis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Antimalarial cardiotoxicity may mimic lupus myocarditis in systemic lupus erythematosus. We report a 53‐year‐old woman with chronic antimalarial exposure, myocardial injury, biventricular dysfunction, electrical abnormalities, low lupus activity, and no myocardial edema.
