A positive resection margin does not determine long-term survival following colorectal liver metastasis resection Open
With the advent of modern perioperative systemic therapies, both hepatic recurrence and survival outcomes following hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases seem unaffected by the presence of R1 resection margins.

51 Positive resection margin is not a determinant for long term survival after resection for colorectal liver metastasis Open
Background Hepatic resection together with perioperative chemotherapy is currently the only treatment option that can offer a chance of long-term curative outcome in patients with colorectal liver metastases. The surgical margin status has…

Optimizing cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation: lessons from >1000 procedures— the Frankfurt approach Open
Aims Cryoballoon (CB) pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an accepted ablation strategy for rhythm control in atrial fibrillation (AF). We describe efficacy and safety in a high volume centre with a long experience in the use of the second-g…

Real world experience from 1000 patients. Preprocedural DOAC interruption impacts detectable DOAC serum levels but not adverse events after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation Open
Introduction Direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) therapy represents the standard of care in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and increased stroke risk. In a real world setting withholding DOAC medication before elective AF ablation is…

Thromboembolism after electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage: a new indication for interventional closure? Open
Aims Left atrial appendage electrical isolation (LAAI) may improve the rhythm outcome in selected patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Controversy exists if LAAI is associated with an increased rate of thromboembolic complications. We s…

Low Risk of Pulmonary Vein Stenosis After Contemporary Atrial Fibrillation Ablation ― Lessons From Repeat Procedures After Radiofrequency Current, Cryoballoon, and Laser Balloon ― Open
The risk for significant PVS is low after RFC/CB. The incidence of mild PVS/N was highest after standard-dose LB ablation and lowest after high-dose CB ablation.

Short-term dual antiplatelet therapy after interventional left atrial appendage closure with different devices Open
Short-term DAPT for six weeks appears to be a viable alternative for patients after LAAC. Age ≥75 years and renal impairment increase major bleeding events threefold.

What Is the Acute Antral Lesion Size After Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using Different Balloon Ablation Technologies? Open
Balloon-guided PVI is associated with antral lesion formation. CB-guided PVI is associated with the largest ISA as compared with LB procedures. ISA size did not correlate with clinical outcome after a single procedure in the present study …
