Introduction: Utilizing a three-dimensional (3-D) mapping system and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has allowed ablation procedures with less or without fluoroscopy; however, there is limited data for patients with cardiac electronic implantable device (CIED) leads regarding the suspected risk of lead injury. Therefore, we sought to explore technics to perform safe trans-septal approach and catheter manipulation technique in patients with CIED leads.
Methods And Results: This study comprised 49 consecutive patients (59% males, median 73 years old) with CIED who underwent catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardia requiring the trans-septal approach, 15 without fluoroscopy (zero-fluoro group), and 34 with fluoroscopy (conventional-fluoro group), between July 2019 and April 2021.

2D flow cardiac MRI is a well-established technique but has some current limitations in routine practice. New 4D flow MRI may overcome these limitations, providing dramatic dynamic imaging, easily understandable, allowing robust quantification of flows. 4D flow imaging should become soon the reference technic for valvular regurgitations and congenital heart disease.

This paper reports results of an exploratory study of prenatal diagnosis patients who experienced voluntary terminations of pregnancy following the detection of an abnormality or spontaneous miscarriages. The 121 participants were part of the national collaborative Chorionic Villus Sampling and Amniocentesis Study. They completed semi-structured telephone interviews and mailed questionnaires at 1 month and 6 months after the pregnancy losses.

Twenty-two selective terminations in multiple gestations were performed by a number of different methods. In 17 dichorionic pregnancies there was a successful delivery in surviving singletons or twins. In five monochorionic pregnancies undergoing selective termination there was a successful delivery in only one and a pregnancy loss in the other four.
