Purpose: To describe a case of short common trunk of the occipital artery (OA) and ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) arising from the internal carotid artery (ICA).

Methods: A 36-year-old woman with a history of surgical resection of a right lateral ventricular meningioma and atheromatous plaque of the right ICA underwent cranial magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR angiography of the head and neck region with a 3-Tesla scanner.

Results: MR angiography of the neck region showed a small atheromatous plaque at the origin of the right ICA and an anomalous artery arising from the posteromedial aspect of the right ICA at the distal end of the carotid bulb.

Background: Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a new approach to treat reflex syncope and functional bradyarrhytmias caused by autonomic imbalance. We report our experience using CNA.

Method: From September 2022 to July 2023, we took care of 21 patients (mean age 42 ± 21 years; 62% male) affected by reflex syncope or functional bradyarrhythmias.

Background: Coronary sinus (CS) lead placement in persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) cases is challenging because of the poor backup force of the guiding catheter within the enlarged CS. Active fixation Quadripolar leads (Attain Stability™ Quad 4798, Medtronic) can expand choice to CS branches with limited access; however, no cases of anchoring to the main body of the CS have been published to date.

Case Summary: We describe a case of cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker upgrade in a 79-year-old female who developed pacing-induced cardiomyopathy after pacemaker implantation via the right superior vena cava (SVC) for atrioventricular block eight years ago wherein PLSVC was revealed during the procedure.

Introduction And Objectives: Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is one of the cornerstones of rhythm-control therapy for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel ablation modality that involves the application of electrical pulses causing cellular death, and it has preferential tissue specificity. In this study, we aimed to share a one-year single center experience of AF ablation with PFA.
