A CT-based evaluation and comparison of ganglionated plexus targeting techniques for cardioneuroablation.

Background: Cardioneuroablation (CNA) targets ganglionated plexus (GP) to treat neurally-mediated syncope, yet a standardized GP identification method is lacking. Post-processing of cardiac computed tomography (CT) identifies epicardial fat thus allowing for fat pad identification. While CT-guided CNA's feasibility is documented, data about GP anatomy and comprehensive evaluations of GP targeting methods remain scarce.

Anatomical Treatment Strategies for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation with Ethanol Infusion within the Vein of Marshall-Current Challenges and Future Directions.

Currently, pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the gold standard in catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, PVI alone may be insufficient in the management of persistent AF, and complementary methods are being explored. One such method takes an anatomical approach-improving both its success rate and lesion durability may lead to improved treatment outcomes.
