Early real-world implant experience with a helix-fixation ventricular leadless pacemaker
ConclusionsThe initial, real-world experience of the helix-fixation ventricular leadless pacemaker demonstrated safe and efficient implantation with minimal repositioning, viable electrical metrics, and limited acute complications.Graphical abstractHelix-fixation single-chamber ventricular leadless pacemakers were implanted in 167 patients, with a median procedure time of 25.5 minutes, 98.8% implant success, and 98.2% freedom from acute adverse events.

Cardioneuroablation for the management of patients with recurrent vasovagal syncope and symptomatic bradyarrhythmias: the CNA-FWRD Registry
ConclusionsThere remains a lack of prospective multicentered data for long-term outcomes comparing conservative therapy to radiofrequency CNA procedures particularly for key outcomes including recurrence of syncope, AV block, durable impact of disruption of the autonomic nervous system, and long-term complications after CNA. The CNA-FWRD registry has the potential to help fill this information gap. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation as first-line treatment of typical atrial flutter: long-term outcomes of the CRAFT trial
ConclusionCryoballoon PVI shows similar efficacy to radiofrequency CTI ablation in reducing symptomatic arrhythmia recurrence in patients presenting with isolated typical AFL but significantly reduces the occurrence of subsequent AF.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Efficacy and safety of high-power short-duration ablation for atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionHPSD ablation was significantly associated with decreased total procedure time, PVI time, and radiofrequency time compared with SPLD ablation. On the contrary, SPLD ablation was significantly associated with low maximum temperature.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Impact of infective versus sterile transvenous lead removal on 30-day outcomes in cardiac implantable electronic devices
ConclusionHigher in-hospital mortality and rates of thromboembolic events associated with TLR resulting from infective indications may warrant further pursuing this diagnosis in patients. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

New-generation electronic appliances and cardiac implantable electronic devices: a systematic literature review of mechanisms and in vivo studies
ConclusionCurrent evidence suggests CIED recipients are safe from general interaction with EVs/HEVs, smartphones, and smartwatches. Strictly, results may only be applied to commercial brands or models tested in the published studies. There is limited data on EMI risk from EVs wireless charging and smartphones with MagSafe technology.Graphical abstractInteraction between new generation electronic appliances and cardiac implantable electronic devices (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Safety and performance of a novel subxiphoidal pacemaker system
ConclusionsThis study demonstrated the safety and feasibility of a novel subxiphoidal extracardiac pacemaker to deliver short-term chronic extravascular therapy. Further studies are required to assess the safety, feasibility, and long-term chronic pacing performance in human subjects. (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)

Quantitative comparison of the isolation lesions between conventional- and larger-sized visually guided laser balloon ablation
ConclusionThe largest-sized VGLB ablation technique can create a significantly wider isolation area of PVA and debulk a large amount of LAPW than the conventional-sized VGLB ablation.  The one-year outcome was similarly high in paroxysmal and persistent AF.Graphical Abstract (Source: Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology)
