Introduction: Unipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation using half-normal saline irrigation (UNIP-HNS) and bipolar RF ablation using normal saline irrigation (BIP-NS) are effective to treat arrhythmias from inside thick myocardium. However, differences between these two ablations when using a long application time had not fully been studied.
Methods: UNIP-HNS, BIP-NS and unipolar RF ablation using normal saline irrigation (UNIP-NS) were applied for 120 s (30 W and 20-g contact) to porcine endocardial wall (≧15.
Minimally invasive autologous pericardial patch reconstruction of the pulmonary artery for locally advanced lung cancer following neoadjuvant treatment.

Pulmonary arterioplasty with an autologous pericardial patch helps avoid having to perform pneumonectomy in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. However, a minimally invasive procedure for this technique has rarely been reported because the patch usually shrinks and recoils after retrieval, complicating the suturing procedure. We describe our experience with performing autologous pericardial patch arterioplasty without glutaraldehyde fixation using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in a patient who received neoadjuvant immunotherapy.

Article Synopsis
- Blood culture-negative endocarditis (BCNE) presents significant diagnostic challenges, particularly when coupled with other health issues, leading to higher risks of complications and death.
- A case study highlighted a patient with BCNE who had pre-existing conditions, including a bi-vendor pacemaker and alcohol use, contributing to his worsening health and noncompliance with treatment.
- After lengthy missed medical appointments, the patient was hospitalized, revealing pulmonary issues and tricuspid valve vegetations, ultimately requiring surgery and antibiotics, although complications arose from the patient's complex medical history during the procedure.
The Role of Coronary Physiology Assessment in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Stable Angina. Dive Inside Recent Findings of Diffuse Coronary Disease Treatment.

Coronary physiology is widely used to assess epicardial coronary lesions in patients with stable angina. Based on the available evidence, physiology plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating patients. There have been invasive methods for determining cardiac physiology, such as fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio.

Clinic for Internal Medicine and Cardiology, Heart Center Dresden, Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. Electronic address:
Cardiac pacing with temporary epicardial pacing wires (TEPW) is used to treat rhythm disturbances after cardiac surgery. Occasionally, TEPW cannot be mechanically extracted and remain in the thorax, where they may rarely cause serious complications like migration and infection. We aim to develop bioresorbable TEPW that will dissolve over time even if postoperative removal is unsuccessful.
