Acute neuromodulation during pulsed field and radiofrequency ablation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation Open
Background Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) represents a novel, energy approach for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, differing from traditional thermal ablation such as radioquency ablation (RFA) for its tiss…

Extraction of Watchman device using a double transeptal approach Open
Background Left atrial appendage occlusion is a treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation who have a high risk of bleeding and are unable to take oral anticoagulants. The Watchman device is an option and has been shown to be safe and…

Organization of atrial fibrillation during pulsed field ablation Open
Background Pulse Field Ablation (PFA) has been acknowledged as an effective and safe tool for ablation of Atrial Fibrillation (AF). It is known that during AF ablation, the arrhythmia may organize into atrial flutter. The left atrial poste…

Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Psoriasis: A Multicenter Study Open
Background Psoriasis is linked to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data on the electrophysiological substrate and outcomes of AF ablation in patients with psoriasis are lacking. Methods We conducted a retrospective, …

Safety and efficacy of leadless pacemaker extraction using a novel retrieval tool: a multicenter analysis Open
Background Leadless pacemakers (LP) have emerged as a safe and effective alternative for cardiac pacing, increasingly adopted by the medical community. While rare, complications such as pacemaker syndrome or device dislodgment can occur. I…

Prevention of thromboembolic events in atrial fibrillation patients with persistent leaks following the watchman implantation Open
Introduction Peri-device leak is not uncommon after percutaneous occlusion of left atrial appendage using the Watchman device. Prior studies have reported the clinical relevance of small leaks (<5mm) as they were associated with a signi…
View article: Best anticoagulation strategy with and without appendage occlusion for stroke‐prophylaxis in postablation atrial fibrillation patients with cardiac amyloidosis
Best anticoagulation strategy with and without appendage occlusion for stroke‐prophylaxis in postablation atrial fibrillation patients with cardiac amyloidosis Open
Introduction Both atrial fibrillation (AF) and amyloidosis increase stroke risk. We evaluated the best anticoagulation strategy in AF patients with coexistent amyloidosis. Methods Consecutive AF patients with concomitant amyloidosis were d…
View article: Prevalence of non pulmonary vein triggers and pulmonary pressure change in atrial fibrillation ablation for cardiac amyloidosis patients
Prevalence of non pulmonary vein triggers and pulmonary pressure change in atrial fibrillation ablation for cardiac amyloidosis patients Open
Background Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) has been associated with an increased risk of atrial arrhythmias and high risk to develop pulmonary hypertension due to infiltration of the amyloid protein in the atrial wall. Though non-PV triggers are …
View article: Efficacy of catheter ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation on chronic ibrutinib therapy
Efficacy of catheter ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation on chronic ibrutinib therapy Open
Background Ibrutinib represents a cornerstone in the management of B-Cells malignancies and chronic lymphatic leukaemia. This drug however was associated with a 5-fold increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). The consequences…
View article: Reduced heart failure hospitalizations and improved quality of life in cardiac amyloidosis patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation
Reduced heart failure hospitalizations and improved quality of life in cardiac amyloidosis patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation Open
Background Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) has been associated with an increased risk of atrial arrhythmias and development and worsening of heart failure due to infiltration of the amyloid protein in the atrial wall. Few data exist regarding pro…
View article: Impact of catheter ablation on erectile dysfunction in atrial fibrillation patients
Impact of catheter ablation on erectile dysfunction in atrial fibrillation patients Open
Background Previous studies suggested a consequential link between impaired diastolic function, which could be related to atrial fibrillation (AF), and a heightened susceptibility to erectile dysfunction (ED). No data exists regarding the …
View article: Distribution of triggers in the left atrial posterior wall in AF patients undergoing catheter ablation
Distribution of triggers in the left atrial posterior wall in AF patients undergoing catheter ablation Open
Introduction Having a common embryologic origin with the pulmonary veins (PVs), left atrial posterior wall (LAPW) is considered to be a source of non-PV triggers that facilitate maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the benefit…
View article: Risk of stiff left atrial syndrome following pulse-field-based ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with pulmonary hypertension at baseline
Risk of stiff left atrial syndrome following pulse-field-based ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with pulmonary hypertension at baseline Open
Introduction Studies have reported development of stiff LA syndrome, defined as pulmonary hypertension (PH) secondary to reduced LA compliance, in some patients following AF ablation. Purpose We compared the risk of worsening of baseline P…
