TL;DR: The implementation of an optimized fluoroscopy protocol significantly reduces radiation exposure in CB-based PVI without compromising acute efficacy and safety.

TL;DR: The results for patients with persistent AF are poor and limit the use of balloon-based PVI to patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), and based on the individual anatomy more than one balloon size may be required or may even make balloons impossible in certain patients.

TL;DR: A prospective multicenter survey is conducted to verify patients’ characteristics, approaches, and technologies adopted across Europe for atrial fibrillation ablation.

TL;DR: This observational multicenter registry points to a potential reduction in restenosis by a synergistic approach of DCA and stenting performed under routinely accessible angiographic guidance, which may improve the results of coronary stenting.

TL;DR: Among AS patients in the SEAS study, 27% of women and 19% of men did not have aortic root geometry fulfilling current requirements for TAVI, and comparing the group of patients who met TAVi requirements to those who did not, the latter included more women and patients with lower body height and weight and significantly smaller aorti root diameters.
