A 12-day-old girl underwent extended end-to-end aortic arch reconstruction with proximal pulmonary autograft patch augmentation on moderately hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. At the end of the procedure, the right superior pulmonary vein developed a severe stenosis at the insertion site of the left atrial vent, as a consequence of multiple hemostatic sutures. We report the successful intraoperative ad hoc application of the sutureless pericardial marsupialization technique for the herewith described severe, isolated, iatrogenic pulmonary vein stenosis in a neonate.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), continues to pose significant clinical challenges despite advancements in medical care. Artificial intelligence (AI) presents promising opportunities to enhance the diagnosis, prediction, and management of VTE. This review examines the transformative potential of AI in thrombosis care, highlighting both the potential benefits and the challenges that need to be addressed.

Intimal sarcoma of blood vessels is a rare, aggressive tumor originating from vascular endothelial cells. This report presents a 22-year-old male diagnosed with an intimal sarcoma of the lower pulmonary vein, detailing diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis information. Additionally, this report explores the application application of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration (EBUS-FNA) alongside with Rapid Remote Online Evaluation (ROLE) for identifying a mass-like lesion in the pulmonary vein.

Background: Loss of bipolar electrograms immediately after pulsed field ablation (PFA) makes lesion durability assessment challenging.
Objective: The aim of this trial (NCT06700226) was to evaluate a novel ablation system that can optically predict lesion durability by detecting structural changes in the tissue during ablation.
Methods: Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation underwent pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using PFA (AblaView®, MedLumics).
Background: Initial clinical studies of pulsed field ablation (PFA) to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) indicated a >90% durability rate of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). However, these studies were largely conducted in single centers and involved a limited number of operators. The electrophysiological findings and outcomes in patients undergoing repeat ablation after an initial PF ablation for AF are incompletely understood.
