Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the use of transseptal sheaths (TSS) for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, aiming to prevent thromboembolism through a simple saline flush management technique.
- In the retrospective study involving over 4,700 AF patients, complications were low, with no acute strokes, and only a few thromboembolic issues occurring post-procedure.
- The prospective study showed no thrombus formation in 127 procedures using high concentration heparinized saline, demonstrating that this method is both safe and effective for preventing thrombus during AF radiofrequency ablation.
Aim: To investigate the prevalence of and risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a Chinese population.
Methods: A total of 1948 adults from China was followed for 8 years. A cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the prevalence of NAFLD at baseline, and then the participants were followed for 8 years to investigate risk factors for the development of NAFLD.

Aim: To explore the association between serum α-L-fucosidase (AFU) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Methods: A total of 16473 individuals (9456 men and 7017 women) were included in the current study, who presented for a health examination at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine in 2014. The baseline characteristics of the cohort were compared by NAFLD status.
Spatial torsion of the ipsilateral superior and inferior pulmonary veins.
J Interv Card Electrophysiol
June 2013
Purpose: We sought to evaluate the disregarded spatial torsion of the ipsilateral superior and inferior pulmonary veins (PVs).
Methods: Forty-eight consecutive atrial fibrillation patients, with four discrete PVs, were enrolled. The ostium plane of each PV, labeled by three landmarks on the CT image, was identified by three experienced observers respectively.
