Venous Thromboembolism Management throughout the COVID-19 Era: Addressing Acute and Long-Term Challenges Open
Background: COVID-19 increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) through a complex interplay of mechanisms collectively referred to as immunothrombosis. Limited data exist on VTE challenges in the acute setting throughout a dynamic …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy: present and future Open
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) via biventricular pacing (BVP) is a well-established therapy for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and left bundle branch block, who remain symptomatic despite optimal medica…

Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in the Emergency Bradyarrhythmia Setting: Results from a Multicenter European Registry Open
Background. Data on leadless pacemaker (LPM) implantation in an emergency setting are currently lacking. Objective. We aimed to investigate the feasibility of LPM implantation for emergency bradyarrhythmia, in patients referred for urgent …

Long-term comparisons of atrial fibrillation ablation outcomes with a cryoballoon or laser-balloon: A propensity-matched analysis based on continuous rhythm monitoring Open
In a propensity-matched cohort undergoing AF ablation, arrhythmia outcomes assessed by continuous rhythm monitoring did not differ between LB and CB, with an overall low ATA burden. The only predictor of recurrences was persistent AF. Ther…

Clinical–radiological correlations in COVID‐19‐related venous thromboembolism: Preliminary results from a multidisciplinary study Open
In our cohort radiological parameters showed a significant correlation with clinical prognostic indices and scores, thus suggesting that a multidisciplinary approach is advisable in the evaluation of PE in COVID-19 patients.

Clinical-radiological correlations in COVID-19-related venous thromboembolism: preliminary results from a multidisciplinary study Open
Introduction: Among the multiple complex pathophysiological mechanisms underlying COVID-19 pneumonia, immunothrombosis has been shown to play a key role. One of the most dangerous consequences of the prothrombotic imbalance is the increase…

Early repolarization pattern as a predictor of atrial fibrillation recurrence following radiofrequency pulmonary vein isolation Open
Background Early repolarization patterns (ERP) have been found to be associated with poor cardiovascular end points. We aimed to evaluate the ERP prevalence among patients with structurally normal hearts undergoing radiofrequency (RF) pulm…

Long-term outcome of pulmonary vein isolation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and Brugada syndrome Open
Catheter ablation is a valid therapeutic choice for patients with BS and paroxysmal AF considering the high success rates, the limitations of the AADs and the safety of the procedure, and it should be taken into consideration especially in…

High rate of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator sensing screening failure in patients with Brugada syndrome: a comparison with other inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes Open
S-ICD screening failure occurs in up to 13% of patients with inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes. Patients with BrS present a higher rate of screening failure as compared with other cardiac channelopathies.

Second generation cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation in young adults: midterm outcome in patients under 40 years of age Open
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been demonstrated more effective in young patients, in which the substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF) is probably more confined to pulmonary vein potentials. The present study sought to focus on the mid…

58-05: Simultaneous thoracoscopic hybrid AF ablation: a 2-year follow up Open
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analysis the efficacy and complication rates of the simultaneous hybrid procedure in a series of patients with persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in a 2 year follow-up…

216-16: Optimisation of RT recodings during 3rd generation CB ablation Open
Purpose: The 3rd generation Cryoballoon Advance Short-tip (CB-ST) has been designed with a 40% shortened tip length compared with the former second generation CB Advance device (CB-A). Ideally, a shorter tip should permit an improved visua…
