Open‐Irrigated Versus Non‐Irrigated Catheters in SVT Ablation: Substrate‐Specific Outcomes in AVRT and AVNRT
Background: Open‐irrigated catheters (OIC) provide improved cooling, deeper lesion formation, and enhanced safety during radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). However, comparative evidence regarding substrate‐specific outcomes with OI...

Pulsed Field Versus Radiofrequency Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: Esophageal Lesions and Suspected Gastroparesis
Background: Esophageal mucosal injury and gastroparesis are clinically important complications of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is a non‐thermal modality that may spare these compl...

Leadless Pacemakers After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Meta‐analysis With Time‐to‐Event Analysis
Background: Permanent pacemaker implantation is a common complication after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Leadless pacemakers (LPs) may reduce lead‐ and pocket‐related complications, but their clinical outcomes after TAV...

Association Between Baseline Cognitive Impairment and Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Catheter Ablation
Background: Cognitive impairment is common among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), yet its prognostic significance in the context of catheter ablation remains unclear. Aims: We aimed to investigate whether baseline cognitive impair...

Timing of Catheter Ablation After Heart Failure Diagnosis for Atrial Fibrillation: A Propensity‐Score‐Matched Analysis
Background: Catheter ablation improves outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF). However, most of the evidence on the importance of ablation timing has been anchored to AF rather than HF onset, leaving th...

Blanking Period after Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
Background: Atrial arrhythmias that recur within the first 3 months after atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation are conventionally attributed to a “blanking period” and not classified as procedural failure. Accumulating evidence sug...

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion vs Oral Anticoagulation for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta‐Analysis
Background: Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has emerged as a non‐pharmacological alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Following the publication of recent CHAMPI...

Device‐Sparing Posteroseptal Trans‐Tricuspid Lead Implantation After Tricuspid TEER: A Three‐Case Device Rounds Report
Transvenous right ventricular lead implantation after tricuspid transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (T‐TEER) may be challenging because of potential interaction with implanted repair devices, grasped leaflets, or the repaired coaptation zo...

Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Pectus Excavatum: Clinical Characteristics, Management, and Outcomes
Background: Pectus excavatum (PE), the most common congenital chest wall deformity, has known associations with connective tissue disorders and may lead to cardiopulmonary impairment; however, its relationship with atrial fibrillation (A...
