Cavotricuspid Isthmus Ablation Using a Variable Loop Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter: A Single‐Center Descriptive Analysis

ABSTRACT Introduction Cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation is frequently performed concomitant with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as the preferred energy source for PVI, but it is unclear whether CTI ablation can be performed with PFA cat...

Oncogene-driven genomic profiles are linked to poor overall survival in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC)

Abstract Purpose Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a genomically complex disease with limited biomarkers for predicting patient outcomes. This study aimed to identify molecular correlates of overall survival in MIBC through comprehensive genomic profiling. Methods Tumor DN...

Chorda Tendinea Obstruction of Impella Causing Massive Hemolysis Detected by Methemoglobinemia: A Case Report

The Impella microaxial flow pump is increasingly used in cardiogenic shock and high-risk coronary interventions. Hemolysis is a frequent complication, but established markers lack bedside availability. We report the first case of Impella obstruction by a chorda tendinea, causing...

Timing of PCI in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Implantation

BackgroundApproximately one half of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic-valve implantation (TAVI) have concomitant coronary artery disease. Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often performed before TAVI, the preferred treatment strategy has not been establi...
