Technological advances in ventricular tachycardia catheter ablation: the relentless quest for novel solutions to old problems
ConclusionThe ideation and development of novel technologies initially intended to treat atrial arrhythmias and successfully implemented in the ventricular milieu is contributing to the progressive improvement in the clinical benefits derived from VT CA, making this procedure key for successful management of increasingly complex patients.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Characteristics of two different cryoballoon systems for treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: study protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial (CONTRAST-CRYO Trial)
ConclusionThe CONTRAST-CRYO trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized study designed to elucidate the difference in the efficacy, safety, and biophysical parameters between POLARx ™ and AFA-Pro in paroxysmal AF patients undergoing PVI. The findings from this trial may provide a valuable indication for selecting the optimal cryoballoon system.Clinical Trial registration:  UMIN000049948 (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)
