Strategy to achieve mitral isthmus flutter ablation by radiofrequency: the SHERIFF plan
ConclusionsThe three-step ablation strategy resulted in a high rate of acute and durable MI block. PMAT recurrence after a single procedure was 10% at 1-year follow-up.Graphical AbstractThe three-step ablation strategy had a success rate of bidirectional MI conduction block of 95%. Recurrence of PMAT after a single procedure was 10% at 1-year follow-up. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Ablation-induced left atrial mechanical dysfunction recovers in weeks after ablation
ConclusionThe present study suggested a significant drop in PLAS immediately after ablation. Left atrial mechanical function recovered within 10  days after ablation. The drop in PLAS did not show a substantial difference between paroxysmal and persistent AF patients.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Optimal ablation settings of TactiFlex SE laser-cut irrigated-tip catheter: comparison with ThermoCool SmartTouch SurroundFlow porous irrigated-tip catheter
ConclusionsThe TFSE demonstrated a lower incidence of steam pops and superior predictability in lesion size compared to the STSF. However, the TFSE necessitated a longer application duration than the STSF to achieve an adequate lesion size.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)
