Impact of Curarization on Pentaspline Catheter Stability During Pulsed‐Field Pulmonary Vein Ablation
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is effective for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), but phrenic nerve stimulation during applications may induce diaphragmatic contractions and destabilize catheter positioning. This study evaluated whether neuromuscular blockade improves catheter stability.

ABSTRACT Background Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) of old leads is associated with increased procedural complexity and risk due to the development of calcified vascular adhesions. This may necessitate additional tools to free the leads. Shockwave intravenous lithotripsy (IVL), which employs acoustic pressure waves to fracture calcified lesions, has ...
