In this retrospective observational study, pulsed field ablation using a specific pentaspline catheter showed comparable procedural and clinical outcomes between older (aged ≥ 75 years) and younger patients (aged < 75 years). However, judicious patient selection is still warranted and randomized trial data are needed to confirm these findings. ABSTRACT

Feeding difficulties in children with esophageal atresia: A parent‐reported multicenter study
Abstract Objective Feeding difficulties (FDs) are common among children with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), but knowledge about their prevalence and risk factors is limited. This multicenter study aimed to assess the prevalence, subtypes, and associated factors of FD in children with EA/TEF. Methods Parents of children who

Inflammatory Markers Stratify Surgical Outcomes in Pediatric Airway Reconstruction
ABSTRACT Objectives Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) predicts surgical success in adult patients undergoing open airway reconstruction for laryngotracheal stenosis, but similar biomarkers in pediatrics remain unidentified. This study identifies predictors of outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing triple endoscopy or surgical airway ...

Intubated COVID‐19 Patients More Likely to Develop Subglottic Stenosis
ABSTRACT Objectives Acquired subglottic stenosis (SGS) is commonly caused by prolonged intubation and elevated cuff pressures. Severe COVID‐19 patients requiring extended ventilation are at higher risk of laryngotracheal injury. However, SGS incidence in COVID‐19 versus non‐COVID‐19 patients remains underexplored.
