Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare, non-metastasizing but locally aggressive mesenchymal tumor arising from fibroblasts or myofibroblasts. We report a solitary case of DF involving the retropharyngeal and danger spaces, a location rarely documented. The patient, a woman in her 70s, presented with progressive pharyngeal discomfort over six months.

Background: Legionella pneumophila is an uncommon pathogen causing community-acquired atypical pneumonia. Acinetobacter baumannii is a major pathogen responsible for hospital-acquired pneumonia, but it rarely causes serious infections in a community setting. Without prompt and appropriate treatments, infection from either of these two pathogens can cause a high mortality rate.

Background: Focal pulsed-field ablation (F-PFA) integrated in electroanatomical mapping (EAM) systems allows tailored lesion sets in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
Objective: To determine feasibility, safety and 6-months outcome of F-PFA for a tailored substrate-based catheter ablation (CA) approach in patients with AF and advanced atrial substrate.
Methods: Consecutive patients with AF and advanced atrial substrate treated by a F-PFA system (Cardiofocus) through contact-force sensing catheters integrated in EAM systems were prospectively enrolled.
