A 69-year-old man with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) experiencing recurrences of suspected paroxysmal atrial tachycardia was referred for repeat ablation. He had previously undergone pulmonary vein isolation in 2016. He was suspected to be experiencing a tachycardia involving the mitral isthmus or left-sided veins initially; however, electroanatomic mapping did not reveal a circuit involving these structures.

- A 66-year-old woman with a history of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) in her renal arteries developed uncontrolled hypertension again after several years, indicating a new health issue.
- After initial treatment in 2007 for FMD, she returned in 2021 with severe narrowing in her left renal artery, which was identified as atherosclerosis-related stenosis.
- The patient underwent treatment with a stent and continued medication, leading to normalized blood pressure after four months; the case highlights the need for vigilant monitoring in patients with a history of FMD as they age.
Objective: The radiofrequency (RF) needle has been shown to improve transseptal puncture efficiency and safety compared to mechanical needles. This study aimed to investigate the use of VersaCross RF transseptal wire system (Baylis Medical) to improve procedural efficiency of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) compared to the standard RF needle-based workflow.
Methods: Eighty-one LAAC procedures using WATCHMAN FLX were retrospectively analyzed comparing the standard RF needle-based workflow to a RF wire-based workflow.
Dearth of electrophysiology fellows: perspectives from cardiology fellows-in-training.

Background: Over the last 6 years, there has been a high percentage of unfilled cardiac electrophysiology (EP) training spots each year. The authors aimed to investigate potential explanations for the unfilled positions based on a survey from the current Fellows-In-Training (FITs).
Methods: An attempt was made to reach the current cardiology FITs across all programs of the U.
