Cerebral Safety of Two Pulsed Field Ablation Workflows for Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Results From the Randomized TWOSOME MRI Study

ABSTRACT Background Data on silent cerebral events/lesions (SCE/SCL) following pulsed field ablation (PFA) for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) are limited. This study aimed to assess the incidence of SCE/SCL using cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) in atrial fibrillation (...

Association of Preoperative Circulating Hsp70 Levels with Event-Free Survival in Thoracic Oncology

Objectives/Background: Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is frequently overexpressed and released from malignant tumors and is associated with tumor aggressiveness and resistance to treatment. While elevated levels of extracellular Hsp70 (eHsp70) in the blood have been associated wit...

Results from the Pan-European CIEMAR study: Local Tumour Control After Microwave Ablation of Colorectal Liver Metastases and Exploratory Associations with Ablation Margins and Confirmation Software

Abstract Purpose The CIRSE Emprint Microwave Ablation (MWA) Registry (CIEMAR) was designed to evaluate real-world effectiveness of MWA for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). This analysis reports on local tumour control and includes post-hoc analyses of ablation margin size and...
