When performing epicardial ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT), caution must be taken not to damage the coronary arteries. We report a case in which a new, nonfluoroscopic technique for incorporating an accurate, real-time reconstruction of the main coronary vessels into a three-dimensional electroanatomic map was used for epicardial VT ablation.

Background: An atrial septal defect (ASD) is considered oval-shaped when its shortest diameter is less than 75% of the longest diameter. Research on percutaneous closure of oval-shaped ASDs is limited, with no known reports of non-fluoroscopic closure for this population.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of non-fluoroscopic percutaneous closure for oval-shaped ASDs.

Background: Evidence from clinical trials of early pulsed field ablation (PFA) systems in treating atrial fibrillation has demonstrated their promising potential to reduce complications associated with conventional thermal modalities while maintaining efficacy. However, the lack of a fully integrated mapping system, a staple technology of most modern electrophysiology procedures, poses limitations in lesion creation and workflow options. A novel variable-loop PFA catheter integrated with an electroanatomic mapping system has been developed that allows for real-time nonfluoroscopic procedural guidance and lesion indexing as well as feedback of tissue-to-catheter proximity.

Background: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) of the mitral valve has emerged as an alternative treatment for mitral regurgitation (MR). However, the high radiation exposure during the process has been associated with multiple adverse effects for medical staff. In this study, we assessed the feasibility and safety of TEER performed solely under the echocardiographic (echo) guidance.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the use of catheter ablation (CA) as a treatment for focal atrial tachycardia (AT) in pregnant women, highlighting the risks of medical interventions and the potential benefits of CA, particularly with non-fluoroscopic navigation systems.
- - A systematic literature search reviewed 278 papers, ultimately including 15 studies with 24 patients; the results showed an impressive acute success rate of 95.8% with CA, and a significant number of procedures were performed without fluoroscopy.
- - The findings suggest that CA is a viable option for treating incessant AT during pregnancy, with minimal long-term recurrence; however, further large-scale studies are needed to better assess its safety and effectiveness.
