Aims: Catheter ablation is an effective treatment method for recurrent ventricular tachycardias (VTs). However, at least in part, procedural and clinical outcomes are limited by challenges in generating an adequate lesion size in the ventricular myocardium. We investigated procedural and clinical outcomes of VT ablation using a novel 'large-footprint' catheter that allows the creation of larger lesions either by radiofrequency (RF) or by pulsed field (PF) energy.

- A prospective observational study evaluated the use of pulsed electric field (PF) ablation for treating ventricular arrhythmias, focusing on its efficacy and safety in a small patient population of 44 individuals.
- The study showed an 84% acute success rate in eliminating frequent ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) and non-inducibility of ventricular tachycardia (VT), indicating that PF ablation can effectively treat these conditions.
- At a 3-month follow-up, 81% of patients with VPCs experienced sustained suppression, but only 52% of patients with scar-related VT remained free of any arrhythmias, suggesting that while PF ablation is promising, its long-term effectiveness for VT may need further
Background: Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening condition. Surgery is usually performed as a salvage procedure and is associated with significant postoperative early mortality and morbidity. Understanding the patient's conditions and treatment strategies which are associated with these adverse events is essential for an appropriate management of acute TAAD.
