Introduction: Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is an essential imaging modality for electrophysiology procedures, allowing intraprocedural monitoring, real-time catheter manipulation guidance, and visualization of complex anatomic structures. Four-dimentional (4D) ICE is the next stage in the evolution of the technology, permitting 360° rotation of the imaging plane, simultaneous multiplanar imaging, and volumetric acquisition, similar to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). In this study, we report our experience with a novel 4D ICE catheter (NuVision, Biosense Webster) in structural electrophysiology procedures and difficult ventricular ablations in a swine preclinical model.

Background: Hemodynamically unstable pelvic ring fractures from high-energy trauma are critical injuries in trauma care, requiring urgent intervention and precise diagnostics. With ongoing advancements in trauma management, treatment strategies have evolved, with some techniques becoming obsolete as new ones emerge. This study aimed to evaluate changes and trends in treatment algorithms for these injuries over approximately 40 years.

Background: The prevalence of vision-threatening diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME), is likely to increase in developed countries owing to an aging population, rising life expectancy, and unfavorable lifestyle changes. Increases in the burden of vision-threatening diseases pose a challenge to the healthcare system. After the emergence of intravitreal anti-VEGF inhibitors, treatment options for neovascular AMD (nAMD), DME, retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and myopic choroidal neovascularization (myopic CNV) have increased.

Background And Aims: The clinical evolution of acute ischemic stroke patients with isolated proximal posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusion treated with medical management alone has been poorly described. We aimed to determine the clinical and radiological factors associated with poor functional outcome in this population.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter international retrospective study of consecutive stroke patients with isolated occlusion of the first (P1) or second (P2) segment of PCA admitted within 6hrs from symptoms onset in 26 stroke centers in France, Switzerland and the USA, treated with best medical management alone.
