Zero‐Fluoroscopy Ablation Methods for Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Central illustration. Schematic comparison of conventional fluoroscopy guided ablation (left) and zero fluoroscopy ablation (right), enabled by electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac echocardiography for catheter navigation without X ray. The study selection process is summarized (133 records identified; 12 studies included, total n = 1998 ...

Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to

ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemakers traditionally rely on femoral venous access, which may be limited in patients with unfavorable IVC anatomy, prior interventions, or situations where preserving femoral access is preferred. Internal jugular (IJ) access offers an alternative route, but real‐world data on IJ implantation of single‐ and dual‐chamber ...

ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Right ventricular (RV) apical pacing, the standard pacing approach, often induces ventricular dyssynchrony, potentially impairing cardiac function. This study aims to investigate whether targeted RV septal pacing, guided by functional electrophysiological feedback during implantation, reduces ventricular dyssynchrony ...

A Reassessment of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Low‐Infection‐Risk Electrophysiology Procedures
ABSTRACT Certain electrophysiology (EP) procedures are associated with minimal tissue disruption and do not involve permanent transvenous leads. As a result, these interventions carry a lower risk of device‐ or procedure‐related infection. These procedures include placement of implantable cardiac monitors, leadless pacemakers, and left atrial appendage
