Feasibility study on atrial fibrillation ablation with pulsed field ablation and concomitant occlusion of the left atrial appendage.

Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) are increasingly performed as individual procedures. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has significantly reduced procedure duration and may be advantageous for the combined approach.

Methods And Results: We have launched a programme for simultaneous AF ablation using PFA and LAAO for patients qualifying for both treatments and excluding those with a complex anatomy.

[First French-speaking days of users of decision support system in clinical pharmacy: Feedback and perspectives].

Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are tools that have been used for several years by clinical pharmacy teams to support pharmaceutical analysis, with a perspective of contributing to the quality of care in collaboration with the other health care team members. These tools require both technical, logistical and human resources. The growing use of these systems in different establishments in France and in Europe gave birth to the idea of meeting to share our experiences.

[Patient's own medications in a Swiss regional hospital: where are we and where should we go?].
