Summary: The study analyzed the mid-term outcomes of Fontan conversion (FC) compared to primary total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) in patients with univentricular heart. The results showed that FC is a safe and feasible procedure that can bring atriopulmonary connection (APC) patients back onto the same track of primary TCPC patients in terms of hemodynamics as well as arrhythmia.

Summary: This study evaluated the procedural safety and long-term outcome of the combined procedure of catheter ablation and left atrial appendage closure in patients with atrial fibrillation. The results showed that the combined procedure was safe and effective in controlling heart rhythm and reducing the risk of strokes.

Summary: This study investigated the association between iatrogenic cardiac tamponade and mortality as well as serious cardiovascular events in patients undergoing invasive EPs. The results showed that there was no statistically significant association between cardiac tamponade and the composite primary endpoint over a 5-year follow-up period. However, cardiac tamponade was significantly associated with a higher risk of hospitalization for pericarditis.

Summary: This study assessed the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in Fontan patients and their implications on transplant-free survival. The results showed that 11% of patients were diagnosed with VA, and VA was highly associated with the risk of transplant or death. Older age at Fontan and a history of right ventricular to pulmonary artery conduit were risk factors for VA. A diagnosis of VA in Fontan patients should lead to increased clinical surveillance.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of primary rhinoplasty using the Tajima technique for overcorrection, and found that patients with unilateral cleft lip nose deformity who underwent primary rhinoplasty with overcorrection had improved results without the need for intermediate rhinoplasty.

Summary: This study investigated echocardiographic parameters in adolescents and adults after the Fontan operation and found that classic-pattern dyssynchrony (CPD), protein-losing enteropathy, and ventricular dysfunction are significantly associated with transplantation or death.

Summary: The study demonstrates that a heart-team hybrid approach for treating atrial fibrillation is safe and effective. For the majority of non-paroxysmal AF patients, at the 3-year follow-up, FFAF in patients on and off anti-arrhythmic drugs approximates that of patients who had the Cox-maze IV.

Summary: This study analyzed the long-term outcomes for advanced cancer patients admitted to an intermediate care unit, focusing on a subgroup of patients with do not resuscitate orders (DNR). The results showed that even for patients with DNR orders, an ImCU-centered multidisciplinary management showed encouraging results in terms of observed-to-expected mortality ratios.

Summary: The study found that 63.8% of patients with idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias originating from the aortic sinuses of Valsalva had discrete pre-potentials. Patients with DPPs had higher long-term success rates in ablation therapy, and younger patients were more likely to have DPPs.

Summary: The presence of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) is an independent prognostic factor predicting poor outcomes in patients with polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) related myocardial involvement (PM/DM-MCI). Other prognostic factors include NT-proBNP levels, interstitial lung disease, and anti-cardiac remodelling therapy. Patients without VA have significantly higher event-free survival rates compared to those with VA.

Summary: Ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is effective for long-term rhythm control, especially in those with paroxysmal AF undergoing pulmonary vein isolation. Despite a high proportion of patients requiring antiarrhythmic drug therapy post-ablation, a reasonable number of patients achieve freedom from atrial arrhythmias, particularly after persistent AF ablation.

Summary: In this study, disease-causing mutations were identified in 83.6% of a large Turkish pediatric OI cohort, with the majority found in COL1A1/A2 and AR-related genes. Variants in different genes showed varying clinical phenotypes, with FKBP10, P3H1, and SERPINF1 being the most common and P3H1 mutations causing a moderate phenotype, contrary to previous reports.

Summary: This study aimed to compare long-term outcomes in Polish patients with atrial fibrillation based on oral anticoagulation type, showing that VKA and rivaroxaban were associated with a significant increase in the risk of hemorrhagic events compared to dabigatran. The available thromboembolic and bleeding risk scores showed poor prediction value in this cohort.
