Background: Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the ventricular system due to various causes, including excessive CSF production, impaired circulation, or absorption dysfunction. This condition is often accompanied by ventricular enlargement, compression of brain parenchyma, and increased intracranial pressure. Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting is the first-line treatment for hydrocephalus; however, when the peritoneal catheter becomes obstructed due to encapsulation, the procedure may need to be converted to a ventriculoatrial (VA) shunt, which serves as a second-line treatment.

Background: An accurate local activation time (LAT) map is essential during premature ventricular contraction (PVC) ablation. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the use of a novel octaspline multielectrode catheter, with and without the use of a catheter-embedded unipolar reference, improves LAT mapping during PVC ablation compared to a pre-existing pentaspline mapping catheter.
Methods: This study prospectively assessed 10 consecutive patients referred for PVC ablation from January to June 2023.
