Aim: To study the impact of glucose monitoring devices on the everyday life of young children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their parents.
A 62-year-old man without medical history presented with a cardiac tamponade due to a voluminous sterile hemorrhagic exudate.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to assess the long-term success rate of a single 3-min freeze per vein ablation strategy in the setting of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by means of second-generation cryoballoon (CB-A; Arctic Front Advance, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in a large cohort of patients.
Methods: Three hundred and one patients with drug resistant atrial fibrillation (AF) having undergone PVI by means of CB-A using a single 3-min freeze per vein ablation strategy were included in the analysis.
Results: Paroxysmal AF (PAF) was documented in 70.
