Article Abstract
Objective: , the French acronym for CHIVA, is a strategy aimed to convert a venous reflux into a physiological drainage. We compared CHIVA with radiofrequency ablation and determined its possible advantages.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical recurrence, ultrasound recurrence, quality of life scores, and complications. They were compared after propensity score matching.
Results: 212 limbs of 166 patients were included: 42 limbs underwent radiofrequency ablation and 170 limbs underwent CHIVA. The hospital stay was shorter in the CHIVA group. There was no difference in clinical, ultrasound recurrence, quality of life scores and complications between the two groups. The preoperative saphenous vein diameter was larger in the recurrence cases.
Conclusions: CHIVA showed comparable results to radiofrequency ablation. There was more ultrasound recurrence with larger vein diameters. The CHIVA appears to be a simple and more efficient treatment method when performed on select patients.

Translational Cardiology Group, Health Research Institute, Santiago de Compostela, Spain; CIBERCV, Madrid, España. Electronic address:
Background: High % of low-voltage area (LVA), a surrogate of scar, is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Noninvasive biomarkers of LVA are a medical need for PVI decision.
Objective: We aimed to identify the proteome profile of plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) associated with high % LVA, their cellular origin, and their regulation by hyperglycemia.

Department of Urology, Izmir Katip Celebi University, 35160 Izmir, Turkey.
Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition, particularly among high-risk patients who are unsuitable for surgical intervention due to comorbidities or anticoagulant use. Bipolar radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive technique that has been studied for its potential safety and efficacy. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of bipolar radiofrequency ablation in treating BPH and to identify the factors influencing the procedural success in high-risk patients.

Background: Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) originating from the infundibular region of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) may be challenging to ablate due to thin myocardial wall and proximity to the coronary arteries in this region. In such anatomically sensitive regions, the use of radiofrequency (RF) energy may carry a risk of collateral injury or prove ineffective. We present a case report describing successful ablation of infundibular PVCs using pulsed field ablation (PFA).
