Article Abstract
This study investigates radiofrequency ablation (RFA) parameters for varicose vein treatment using a three-dimensional mathematical model operating at 470 kHz. The model evaluates how power settings, temperature thresholds, blood flow velocity, and electrode spacing influence therapeutic efficacy and tissue safety. Findings demonstrate that higher power and temperature settings, combined with lower blood flow rates, enhance venous wall heating while minimizing extraluminal tissue damage. Stagnant blood flow optimizes thermal energy delivery, and adjusting electrode spacing reduces the required number of ablations. Temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation has a controlled electrode temperature for better temperature delivery. This study provides actionable guidance for clinicians to tailor RFA protocols that emphasize management and electrode configuration adjustments for safer and more efficient outcomes in varicose vein treatment.

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.

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.
