Introduction And Objectives: Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is one of the cornerstones of rhythm-control therapy for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel ablation modality that involves the application of electrical pulses causing cellular death, and it has preferential tissue specificity. In this study, we aimed to share a one-year single center experience of AF ablation with PFA.

Background: Globally, the number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is increasing. In our study, we aimed to investigate whether CHADS-VASc and RCHADS-VASc scores are predictive of CIED-related complications.
Methods: Our investigation was carried out with a multicenter retrospective design.
To prevent cardiac tamponade caused by catheter tip slippage during the retraction of the protective sleeve in Aveir VR implantation, it is crucial to carefully evaluate not only the bulge of the protective sleeve but also the shape of the system's shaft using fluoroscopic imaging.
