Riparazione percutanea della valvola mitrale con Mitraclip nei pazienti con scompenso cardiaco avanzato e insufficienza mitralica funzionale: impatto clinico ed effetti sul rimodellamento cardiaco e sul profilo neurormonale. [PDF]
The role of percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) in patients with advanced heart failure (HF) and functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the effects (PMVR) therapy on clinical outcomes , left ventricular (

In a prospective randomized controlled trial, two zero‐fluoroscopy transseptal puncture workflows demonstrated comparable safety and procedural efficacy, supporting radiation‐free AF ablation strategies. ABSTRACT Background Transseptal puncture (TSP) is a critical step in left atrial (LA) access for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.

ABSTRACT Background Atrial tachycardias (AT) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) may utilize Bachmann's bundle (BB). Due to their epicardial location, these ATs remain poorly understood. Objective To describe the electrophysiologic and anatomic basis of BB‐related ATs.
