Omnipolar mapping versus point-by-point mapping approach for catheter ablation of atrioventricular accessory pathway.

Background: The conventional mapping approach for the atrioventricular accessory pathway (AP) involves point-by-point mapping to identify the connection sites of the AP to the atria or ventricle and accurate interpretation of local electrograms. Omnipolar mapping technology (OMT) explains how vector and wave speed are produced by using both unipolar and bipolar signals to obtain omnipolar signals, directions, and conduction velocity. The aim of this study is to verify the effectiveness of OMT for catheter ablation of AP.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and effective treatment for patients experiencing ventricular and atrial tachyarrhythmias. While complications after RFA are generally rare, the occurrence of coronary artery (CA) injury, albeit infrequent, can have significant clinical implications. Given the proximity of CAs to common ablation sites, understanding the interplay between RFA and CA perfusion pathophysiology is paramount.

Significance: Radiofrequency ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) involves isolating the pulmonary vein from the left atria to prevent AF from occurring. However, creating ablation lesions within the pulmonary veins can cause adverse complications.
Aim: We propose automated classification algorithms to classify optical coherence tomography (OCT) volumes of human venoatrial junctions.
A case of cardiac amyloidosis presenting stiff left atrial syndrome with severe calcification after first AF ablation.

Department of Cardiology and Geriatrics, Kochi Medical School, Kochi University, Kochi, Japan.
Unlabelled: Scarring of the left atrial (LA) wall from atrial ablation (AF) leads to the development of stiff LA syndrome. Multiple ablation treatments have been considered to be associated with the development of LA calcification (LAC). We report a case of wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (CA) who presented with worsening heart failure due to stiff LA syndrome despite the condition after initial ablation for AF.

Background: Data on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) after microwave ablation (MWA) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) are scarce. We conducted a systematic review of the safety and efficacy of MWA for ICC.
Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies reporting the outcomes of MWA for ICC.
