Atrioventricular (AV) node ablation represents an established therapeutic option in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) and other atrial tachyarrhythmias, particularly in patients with symptomatic tachycardia who remain unresponsive or intolerant to pharmacological therapy. The procedure is often considered in…

Atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) occurs in patients with dual AV nodal physiology. They have two functionally distinct pathways known as the slow and fast pathway. The slow pathway has a shorter refractory period. During the common form of AVNRT, an atrial premature beat travels down the slow…

Background Laser ablation with a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser is a minimally invasive approach which is able to achieve a precise tissue necrosis. The study was aimed to assess the feasibility and efficiency of laser ablation in the treatment of retroperitoneal and hepatic portal unresectable…

'Weilin Wang'] BACKGROUND & AIMS Metastasis in retroperitoneal lymph nodes is one of the signs of advanced stage or terminal stage of malignancy. We performed a trial to assess the safety and efficacy of ultrasonography (US)-guided local neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser ablation for metastatic…

'Rongrong Li' 'Kecheng Xu' 'Lizhi Niu'] Background Cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastases are relatively rare. Surgical resection is the main treatment for cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis, but it is not always possible. Case presentation Here, we report our initial experience with cryoablation of a…

In this case, focal PFA was used to modify the sinus node near the phrenic nerve safely, achieving acute procedural success without phrenic nerve injury; however, symptom recurrence was observed a few months after the procedure. Several factors contribute to the challenges and lower success rates of endocardial…

'Qing-qing Wang' 'Jing-wang Bi' 'Qiang Wang'] Image-guided tumor ablation eliminates tumor cells by physical or chemical stimulation, which shows less invasive and more precise in local tumor treatment. Tumor ablation provides a treatment option for medically inoperable patients. Currently, clinical ablation techniques…
