The Safety and Efficacy of Absnow Fully Biodegradable Atrial Septal Defect Occluder: A Prospective, Single‐Center Phase III Clinical Trial

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the safety, short‐term and mid‐term occlusion performance of the Absnow fully biodegradable atrial septal occluder in pediatric patients. Background The Absnow Occluder, an innovative fully biodegradable closure for ASD, has shown its safety and effectiveness in initial animal studies and preclinical trials.

Giant interatrial septal aneurysm mimicking a left atrial mass

Heart Views, 2013
Interatrial septal aneurysm (IASA) consists of redundant atrial septal tissue, which bulges into either the left or the right atrium. The clinical implications of this entity are not entirely clear; however, if it is associated with other cardiac ...

Transesophageal echocardiography related complications

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is an important imaging method for the evaluation of cardiac structure and function, and it holds significant value in the clinical management of cardiovascular diseases. Unlike transthoracic echocardiography (TTE),

Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography of the atrial septal defects

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2008
Transesophageal echocardiography has advantages over transthoracic technique in defining morphology of atrial structures. Even though real time three-dimensional echocardiographic imaging is a reality, the off-line reconstruction technique usually allows

Esophageal Injury Risk Factors in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Catheter Ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Low BMI and reduced LVEF were independently associated with esophageal injury following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. All lesions were located near the left pulmonary vein and showed complete healing on follow‐up endoscopy. ABSTRACT Background and Aims Esophageal injury (EI) is a potentially serious complication of catheter ablation (CA ...

Electrocardiographic patch devices and contemporary wireless cardiac monitoring. [PDF]

, 2015
Cardiac electrophysiologic derangements often coexist with disorders of the circulatory system. Capturing and diagnosing arrhythmias and conduction system disease may lead to a change in diagnosis, clinical management and patient outcomes.

Safety and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) was evaluated in 479 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), 52% paroxysmal. Among 104 patients > 75 years, complication rates and 6‐ and 12‐month arrhythmia‐free survival were not significantly different from younger patients. Age did not predict recurrence. PFA appears safe and effective in elderly AF patients.

Phenotypic Analysis of P‐Wave Morphology as a Key Determinant of Late Recurrence Post‐Ablation in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Phenotype 3, defined by the combination of prolonged Pd and low PWA in leads II, V2, and V6—representing orthogonal planes—was associated with the highest risk of late arrhythmia recurrence after CA, compared to Phenotype 1 (isolated low PWA) and Phenotype 2 (isolated prolonged Pd).

Telomere Shortening Drives Atrial Fibrillation Through VCAM‐1 Mediated Atrial Electrical and Structural Remodeling

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study reveals that telomere shortening promotes atrial fibrillation by upregulating VCAM‐1, leading to fibrosis and electrical remodeling. Inhibiting VCAM‐1 reverses these abnormalities, identifying it as a therapeutic target for age‐related AF. ABSTRACT Telomere shortening is a hallmark of aging and has been implicated in cardiovascular disease ...

Left Atrial Appendage Closure Under Intracardiac Echocardiographic Guidance: Feasibility and Comparison With Transesophageal Echocardiography

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundTranscatheter left atrial appendage closure is an alternative therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients. These procedures are currently guided with transesophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopy in most centers.
