Prophylactic Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion During Mitral Valve Repair in Patients Without Atral Fibrillation: A Meta‐Analysis of Time to Event Data

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
In patients without atrial fibrillation undergoing mitral valve repair, prophylactic left atrial appendage occlusion significantly reduces long‐term thromboembolic events and early in‐hospital stroke, without increasing mortality, although it is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Persistent Arrhythmogenic Effects of COVID‐19: A Comprehensive Analysis of Device Implantation and Antiarrhythmic Interventions in Japan

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
COVID‐19 was associated with a sustained increase in device implantation and arrhythmia‐related interventions over 2 years. In a nationwide propensity score‐matched cohort, risks of pacemaker, ICD, CRT implantation, ablation procedures, and antiarrhythmic medication initiation remained higher after COVID‐19, supporting long‐term cardiovascular ...

Left Atrial Appendage Closure vs. Oral Anticoagulation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
Efficacy and safety outcomes from meta‐analysis of left atrial appendage closure versus anticoagulation therapy in atrial fibrillation. Pooled analysis of 3116 participants from four randomized trials demonstrated comparable composite outcome of stroke, systemic embolism, and cardiovascular/unexplained mortality between LAAC and standard ...

Pseudoaneurysm and Arteriovenous Fistula After Femoral Puncture During Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: An Access‐Site Pitfall in Large‐Bore Femoral Procedures

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
High femoral puncture during large‐bore femoral procedures can injure the inferior epigastric artery, causing pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula. This case highlights the need for careful access‐site selection using combined ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, even during pulsed field ablation.
