Objective: The purpose of this research was to study the propagation of the excitation wave along epicardium in the area of the pulmonary veins ostia in rabbit in normal conditions and while cooling.
Methods: The excitation wave spreading along epicardium in the area of pulmonary veins ostia in the left atrium at 36-37 degrees C and when cooling to 32 degrees C was studied by the method of electrocardiochronotopography in rabbit of Chinchilla species, five months age. The size of the registering surface of the electrode was 1.08 x 1.08 cm.
Results: The time of depolarization when cooling from 36 degrees C to 32 degrees C changes unevenly in various zones of pulmonary veins. On the epicardium of pulmonary veins area at temperature reduction from 36 degrees C to 33 degrees C, change in the direction of excitation and essential reduction of depolarization time, and its significant increase under further cooling to 32 degrees C were observed. In the middle part of the left atrium at temperature reduction, change in the main direction of the excitation wave propagation, shift of the location of the areas of the latest depolarization were revealed and the front become more homogeneous.
Conclusion: In the area of the left atrium base the heterogeneity of the front of depolarization at temperature reduction was revealed.

Background: Cryoballoon ablation has been widely performed in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). In some challenging pulmonary veins (PVs), the procedure requires additional touch-up applications against the residual conduction gaps. It implies that there could exist difficult sites to cover with standard cryoballoon applications (CBAs), resulting in resistant conduction gaps (RCGs).

Background: Endovascular radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and Endovascular Laser Ablation (EVLA) are minimally invasive methods to safely treat symptomatic varicose veins in pediatric patients. This research aimed to review the management of pediatric patients with venous insufficiency, evaluate the outcome, and determine the efficacy, convenience, and safety of ablation procedures in an outpatient setting.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients seen at six locations from 2013 to 2024 was completed.

Background: The vertical vein (VV) ligation during the total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) correction is still controversial. Our study aimed to define the potential risk factors for VV persistence and their percutaneous occlusion.
Methods: The retrospective cohort study included 40 patients (26 males) with TAPVR treated at the tertiary referral center from 2005 to 2024.

Background: Recent studies on bronchiectasis have revealed significant structural abnormalities and pathophysiological changes. However, there is limited research focused on pulmonary venous variability and congenital variation. Through our surgical observations, we noted that coarctation of pulmonary veins and atrophied lung volume are relatively common in bronchiectasis patients.
