Post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain is one of the rare complications that could follow orofacial procedures such as dental extraction. The incidence of this type of pain following craniofacial trauma ranges between 3% and 13% depending on the type of surgery. The inferior alveolar and lingual nerves are commonly affected following molar tooth extraction. Pain usually differs from one patient to another concerning intensity and distribution. Pulsed radiofrequency treatment is one of the most widely used techniques in chronic pain management. It focuses on generating heat using radiofrequency waves at higher voltages than conventional radiofrequency while keeping tissue temperature below the neuro-destructive range. This report aims to highlight the benefit of using trigeminal ganglion pulsed radiofrequency to manage neuropathic pain following molar extraction.

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the gold standard for assessing cerebrovascular hemodynamics. DSA is predominantly utilized to evaluate the hemodynamic information of various cerebral diseases. However, DSA is relatively invasive and involves radiation exposure and risks of allergic reactions or renal dysfunction related to iodine-based contrast agents.

Aims: Whether the intraprocedural anticoagulation regimen and activated clotting time (ACT) in pulsed field ablation (PFA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) are the same as those for radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is currently unknown.
Methods And Results: Our retrospective study included 51 paroxysmal AF patients who underwent PFA (PFA group) and were matched with paroxysmal AF patients who underwent RFCA. Nearest-neighbor propensity score matching was performed at a 1:1 ratio (no tolerance to anticoagulant regimens and a tolerance of 0.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of interleaved Na/H cardiac MRI at 7 T using H parallel transmission (pTx) pulses.
Methods: A combined setup consisting of a Na volume coil and two H transceiver arrays was employed and the transmit and receive characteristics were compared in vitro with those of the uncombined radiofrequency coils. Furthermore, the implemented interleaved Na/H pTx sequence was validated in phantom measurements and applied to four healthy subjects.

Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has proven to be at least non-inferior to thermal ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Predictors of AF freedom for PFA have not yet been described.
Objective: Identify clinical and procedural predictors of treatment success in PAF patients treated with the pentaspline PFA catheter.

Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using conventional power (30-35 W) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been an effective treatment strategy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), but its longer duration may cause collateral damage to peripheral tissue including esophageal and phrenic nerve. High-power (HP) RFA, due to better transmural performance and shorter duration, may reduce the damage to adjacent tissue and is expected to be a safe and efficient ablation strategy.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we included 259 patients with PAF who underwent lesion size index (LSI)-guided radiofrequency ablation.
