Aims: Cardiac conduction disorders are common in haemodialysis patients, with a relatively high rate of pacemaker implantations. Pacemaker-related complications, especially lead infections and central venous stenosis, pose significant challenges in this population. This study aims to compare single-chamber leadless pacemaker to single-chamber transvenous pacemakers in terms of survival and related complications in haemodialysis patients.

- Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure is aimed at patients with atrial fibrillation who are at high risk for blood clots and bleeding, and this study evaluates its effectiveness and safety in a French medical center from 2014 to 2020.
- The study involved 207 patients, achieving a successful closure rate of 97.6%, while noting a decline in procedural complications over the years and a significant reduction in both thromboembolic and bleeding events during follow-up.
- The findings highlight the procedure's benefits and the importance of collaborative medical expertise to ensure successful outcomes in this high-risk patient population.*
Sudden cardiac death, mostly related to ventricular arrhythmia, is a major public health issue, with still very poor survival at hospital discharge. Although coronary artery disease remains the leading cause, other etiologies should be systematically investigated. Exhaustive and standardized exploration is required to eventually offer specific therapeutics and management to the patient as well as his/her family members in case of inherited cardiac disease.

Thus, pulmonary vein isolation is the cornerstone of catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. However, the success rate remains perfectible.
