Redesigning Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter Form Factors for Lesion Precision, Durability, and Safety
ABSTRACT Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a cutting‐edge treatment for arrhythmias that targets cardiac tissue with rapid, high‐voltage electric current pulses, resulting in irreversible electroporation. Freed from the constraints of traditional radiofrequency (RF) ablation, the non‐thermal mechanism and myocardial selectivity of PFA has improved ...

Pulsed Field Ablation in Patients With Cardiac Implantable Electric Devices: Vigilance Is Warranted
ABSTRACT Pulsed field ablation (PFA) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation offers potential safety benefits compared to thermal ablation modalities. However, the high voltage electric pulses required to irreversibly electroporate myocardial cells present a unique clinical challenge in regard to patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices ...

Efficacy and Safety of the Sync‐AV II Temporary Cardiac Pacing Catheter (EASY II Trial)
ABSTRACT Background Cardiac pacing is crucial for patients with hemodynamically unstable bradyarrhythmias. For most indications, transvenous pacemakers are used to pace the right ventricle, causing atrioventricular dyssynchrony, which may lead to significant hemodynamic compromise.

Safety Outcomes of Hybrid Open Chest Transvenous Lead Extraction: A Multicenter Experience
ABSTRACT Background: Hybrid open chest transvenous lead extraction (TLE), combining surgical and endovascular techniques, may be utilized in patients requiring concomitant cardiac surgery or with high‐risk features for endovascular extraction. Outcome data in this population remains sparse.

First Report on Atrial Leadless Pacing in an Extra‐Cardiac Fontan Patient
Abstract No reports on atrial leadless pacing have been demonstrated in patients with the extra‐cardiac Fontan palliation. We present a case of a patient with an extra‐cardiac Fontan and an alternative to pacing for symptomatic bradycardia in the setting of sinus node dysfunction.
