Retrospective Study Evaluating Outcomes Following Palliative Radiotherapy With or Without Chemotherapy for Dogs With Presumed Cardiac Hemangiosarcoma

Veterinary and Comparative Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Canine cardiac hemangiosarcoma (cHSA) represents a complex clinical challenge in that those afflicted have an acute risk of death due to cardiac tamponade and high morbidity and mortality given the frequency of metastasis. Previous studies show that radiation therapy (RT) can decrease the risk of tamponade; however, an optimal approach has yet

Impact of Breathing and Anatomical Constraints on Subxiphoid Epicardial Puncture: Insights From a Japanese Cohort

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 4, August 2025.
This study reveals that respiratory phase and anthropometric parameters significantly impact the xiphoid‐to‐pericardium distance, with expiration increasing the depth. These findings support the use of preprocedural ultrasound to optimize subxiphoid epicardial access, enhance safety, and inform needle selection based on individual anatomical ...

Pulsed‐Field Ablation Versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 4, August 2025.
Meta‐analysis of 2353 paroxysmal AF patients shows pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) reduces total procedure time by 39 min and left‐atrial dwell time, increases fluoroscopy time by 11 min, and achieves 1‐year AF‐free survival and safety rates comparable to radiofrequency ablation.
