Background: Catheter ablation is beneficial in patients with symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation (PerAF), and pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a promising energy source to safely and durably create ablation lesions. However, catheter-specific "PFA waveforms and designs" result in effectiveness and safety profiles that are not transferable to other PFA technologies. A head-to-head comparison between the dual-energy, wide-footprint lattice-tip (Sphere-9, Medtronic) and pentaspline PFA catheter (Farawave, Boston Scientific) is not yet available.

Background: The rotational atherectomy system can effectively debulk calcified coronary lesions. However, rare complications specific to that system have been reported.

Case Summary: A 77-year-old man with a heavily calcified lesion in the right coronary artery (RCA) ostium underwent percutaneous coronary intervention in an 8-F system.

Aim    To compare the long-term effectiveness of cryoballoon ablation (CBA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).Material and methods    This retrospective single-site study included 597 patients with AF who had undergone CBA (n=241) or RFA (n=356) between 2016 and 2024. The study participants included 355 men (59.

Background: In catheter-based radiofrequency ablation (RFA), energy is delivered to heterogeneous thin-walled tissues to induce therapeutic heating. Variations in electrical and mechanical properties of tissue contents have a great effect on outcomes.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to develop models that replicate tissue heterogeneity and visualize ablation zones for effective evaluation and optimization.

Introduction: Fluoroless mapping and ablation using a Pentaspline pulsed field ablation catheter has many advantages. This can be achieved using a "tripolar configuration," which enables high-quality electroanatomical maps, improves the ability to localize electrograms (EGMs), and minimizes the use of additional mapping catheters compared to the standard bipolar configuration. We aimed to evaluate the benefits of using a tripolar configuration in fluoroless atrial fibrillation ablation compared to the standard bipolar configuration.
