Article Synopsis
- Advanced bipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation (Bi-RFA) is being studied as a new treatment for patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) and premature ventricular contractions (PVC) that do not respond to standard unipolar radiofrequency ablation (Uni-RFA).
- A multicenter registry conducted in Europe showed that out of 91 patients treated with Bi-RFA, 74% achieved elimination of clinical VT/PVC, and 78% experienced a significant reduction in PVC burden during follow-up.
- The procedure was found to be generally safe and feasible, though there were some major complications reported, indicating that Bi-RFA could be a valid option for managing refractory VT/PVC
Local impedance drop-guided versus lesion size index-guided pulmonary vein isolation.

Background: Local tissue impedance drop (LID) and lesion size index (LSI) technologies are valuable for predicting effective lesion formation. This study compares the acute and long-term efficacy of LID-guided versus LSI-guided pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation treatment.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed two patient groups undergoing radiofrequency PVI.
Improvement of methods and criteria for diagnostics of human blastocystosis and selection of drugs for etiotropic therapy remain urgent scientific tasks of the present day. Clinical manifestations of blastocystosis in humans are diverse, and in this regard, their influential role on the effectiveness of blastocystosis therapy cannot be excluded. To assess the predictor properties of clinical symptoms, we retrospectively analyzed them in 300 patients with blastocystosis in alternative groups: group A - with good therapeutic effect (n=162) and group B - with satisfactory effect (n=138).
