Article Synopsis
- * A study comparing two ablation techniques (anterior mitral line and mitral isthmus line) found that both methods had similar short-term success rates, but the mitral isthmus line resulted in significantly fewer long-term recurrences of atrial flutter.
- * Overall, using a mitral isthmus line for ablation led to better long-term outcomes for patients with MAF, with no serious complications reported in either treatment group.
Occult arterial bleeding associated with cardiac device implantation.

The appearance of hematomas or hemorrhages after the implantation of a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIEDs) is a well-known early complication, which can be associated with reinterventions, infections, readmissions, and longer hospital stays. Occasionally, these bleedings may correspond to arterial hemorrhages, which require early identification and specific treatment. We reviewed two clinical cases of inadvertent arterial bleeding after Pacemaker implantation that required a high clinical suspicion together with a multidisciplinary evaluation of cardiologists, radiologists and interventional medicine that allowed a fast and effective endovascular approach.
