Coronary injury presenting as ST segment elevation (STE) during ablation procedures for different arrhythmias is a rare and most feared complication. There have been multiple reports on STE during various ablation procedures in the recent past. Herein, we review various mechanisms, presentations, and management of STE observed during various ablations, including atrial fibrillation ablation cavotricuspid isthmus and ablation, supraventricular tachycardia ablations, coronary sinus ablation, and ventricular arrhythmia ablations.

Objective: Neuronal cell death and neuroinflammation are characteristic features of epilepsy, but it remains unclear whether neuronal cell death as such is causative for the development of epileptic seizures. To test this hypothesis, we established a novel mouse line permitting inducible ablation of pyramidal neurons by inserting simian diphtheria toxin (DT) receptor (DTR) cDNA into the Ccl17 locus. The chemokine CCL17 is expressed in pyramidal CA1 neurons in adult mice controlling microglial quiescence.

Article Synopsis
  • Catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), but many patients still experience AF recurrence after the procedure, prompting this study to explore predictive markers.
  • The study analyzed 380 NVAF patients who underwent CA, finding that lower left atrial (LA) function and higher LA stiffness were associated with increased recurrence of AF after a median follow-up of 9 months.
  • Key findings include that LA stiffness and LA reservoir strain (LASr) serve as independent predictors of AF recurrence, highlighting the importance of evaluating LA function to guide patient management post-ablation.
