Introduction: We present the first worldwide use of pulsed-field ablation (PFA) for ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation via a retrograde approach.
Methods: The patient had previously failed conventional ablation of an intramural circuit underneath the aortic valve. The same VT circuit was inducible during the procedure. The Farawave PFA catheter and Faradrive sheath were used to deliver PFA applications.
Results: Post ablation mapping demonstrated scar homogenization. There was no evidence of coronary spasm during PFA applications and no other complications occurred. VT was non-inducible post ablation and the patient has remained free of arrhythmia at follow-up.
Conclusion: PFA for VT via a retrograde approach is feasible and effective.

Salmonella is one of the most common foodborne pathogens. Antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella isolates, especially those resistant to colistin, pose a significant threat to public health worldwide. However, data about the prevalence of mcr-positive Salmonella in animals was few and the dissemination of mcr-positive Salmonella from animals to food, especially eggs, has not been fully addressed.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) at Okayama University Hospital over 5 years (2013-2018), revealing a variety of CPE isolates with different phenotypic and genetic characteristics.
- Eight CPE isolates were identified, mainly carrying blaIMP-1 and blaIMP-6 genes, with significant diversity in bacterial species and carbapenem susceptibility patterns.
- The findings highlight the importance of continuous genetic surveillance and customized infection control measures to combat the spread of CPE.

Article Synopsis
- * The main goal of these interventions is to restore stable sinus rhythm, improving quality of life and reducing AF-related risks, with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) being the primary method for newly diagnosed paroxysmal AF.
- * There are ongoing developments in additional ablation strategies and technologies to better manage AF, especially for non-paroxysmal cases, while also addressing challenges like late relapse and non-PV triggers.

Various ablation technologies with different energy sources are currently being either used or being investigated for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Potential complications continue to occur due to the indiscriminate thermal effects on non-targeted tissues adjacent to the myocardium that are common to all thermal ablation modalities. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has recently gained significant attention and interest as an approach to AF ablation.
