Novel automated atrial pacemapping technique based on intracardiac pattern matching to identify the location of ectopic atrial activity
We report two cases in which this technique was used to eliminate the atrial triggers. This technique achieved a time reduction and high-resolution mapping.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Severe ST-segment elevation and AV block during pulsed-field ablation due to vasospastic angina — a novel observation
We report the first case of severe right coronary artery vasospasm resulting in ST-segment elevation and AV block despite a remote distance from the ablation site to the right coronary artery, indicating a different mechanism. In this case, electroporation most likely triggered a previously unknown Prinzmetal vasospastic angina in the patient, resulting in the coronary vasospasm. Thus, meticulous monitoring of ST-segment changes following PFA delivery even from regions remote to coronary arteries is required. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Therapeutic potential of conduction system pacing as a method for improving cardiac output during ventricular tachycardia
ConclusionsRestoring atrial and biventricular synchrony improved hemodynamic function in simulated and clinical VT. Conduction system pacing could improve VT tolerability and treatment.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Trans-jugular approach for safe and successful cryoablation of para-Hisian/anterior-septal, anterior, and anterior-lateral accessory pathways in children
Conclusions3D cryoablation of right anterior-lateral, anterior, and anterior-septal/para-Hisian APs in children using a trans-jugular approach is extremely effective and safe, resulting in higher chronic success rate compared to the conventional femoral approach.Graphical abstractIn children, acute success rate of cryoablation of anterior and para-Hisian accessory pathways via the trans-jugular approach was similar to trans-femoral approach (p = 0.1), but recurrences were significantly lower (p = 0.006).

Comparative utility of omnipolar and bipolar electroanatomic mapping methods to detect and localize dual nodal substrate in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia
ConclusionsOmnipolar vector pivot analysis represents an automated, annotation-independent qualitative technique that is sensitive and specific for AVNRT substrate and co-localizes with successful SPM sites. Bipolar voltage quantitatively describes SP anisotropy better than omnipolar voltage, and the addition of peak frequency signal analysis further optimizes the selection of SPM sites.Graphical abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Pressure waveform analysis for occlusion assessment significantly reduces contrast medium use in cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation
ConclusionCB-PVI utilizing a fully integrated pressure waveform analysis tool to assess PV occlusion is feasible and safe and significantly reduces the amount of contrast medium without impact on procedural parameters and freedom from arrhythmia recurrence.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

2024 European Heart Rhythm Association/Heart Rhythm Society/Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society/Latin American Heart Rhythm Society expert consensus statement on catheter and surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation
In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007, the first joint expert consensus document was issued, guiding healthcare professionals involved in catheter or surgical AF ablation. Mounting research evidence and technological advances have resulted in a rapidly changing landscape in the field of catheter and surgical AF ablation, thus stressing the need for regularly updated versions of this partnership which were issued in 2012 and 2017. Seven years after the last consensus, an updated docu...
