In patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation, age ≥ 75 years was associated with greater recurrence‐related rhythm intervention. However, outcomes varied markedly among older adults. A simple score incorporating persistent AF, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and valve disease identified elderly patients with low or high clinical vulnerability.

Intra‐procedural accessory pathway reconduction occurred in 18% of patients, with 65.2% of events detected ≥ 15 min after initial pathway elimination. Reconduction was associated with a higher rate of late recurrence, supporting careful assessment for conduction recovery during the post‐ablation waiting period.

Following unsuccessful supero‐septal line ablation for mitral isthmus‐dependent atrial flutter, a conduction gap may occur along the septoatrial bundle (SAB). In such cases, linear ablation extending perpendicularly to the supero‐septal ablation line (SSL) toward Bachmann's bundle (BB) may achieve complete conduction block across the supero‐septal ...

Summary Introduction Pulmonary artery catheters are used widely in cardiac surgery despite observed associations with worse outcomes and guidelines that recommend against their routine use. No adequately powered randomised trials are available. Methods The PUMA Pilot was a multicentre, randomised, parallel assignment, open‐label, pilot and feasibility ...
