What does PVI-SHAM-AF tell us about AF ablation?
Prof @RoWachter discusses the findings at #ESC2026 and the important relationship between rhythm control, AF burden and how patients actually feel.

Despite extensive anterior scar, activation of the left atrial appendage appeared to be maintained through two residual conduction pathways including superior conduction consistent with Bachmann's bundle and a second pathway around the scar.

Mapping and personalising the workflow when using the VOLT PFA system.
Having now performed 1,300+ cases some key lessons have been learned by @Phiso_de and team.

Technique for haemostasis in EP
@RolandTilz discusses @AbbottCardio Perclose deployment, 45-degree positioning, suture handling and knot advancement in routine EP workflows.

A useful technical tip for anyone using the PulseSelect PFA system
The deflection knob can be used to achieve up to 180° catheter rotation while maintaining tissue contact, allowing operators to optimise electrode orientation without rotating the entire catheter.

How to achieve uniform lesion overlap with the @MDT_Cardiac Pulse Select PFA System, using the fifth electrode as a consistent positional marker
Ostial lesion delivery does not raise concern for pv stenosis enabling confident ablation of the pulmonary vein sleeve

In this clip, Dr Devi Nair outlines her approach to achieving uniform lesion overlap with the PulseSelect™ PFA System, using the fifth electrode as a consistent positional marker.
She explains why ostial lesion delivery does not raise concern for pulmonary vein stenosis, enabling confident ablation of the pulmonary vein sleeve.
Part of the EP Insights series, exploring how a fluid-free PFA workflow supports treatment of fluid-sensitive patients.

Honored to have been part of the historic #NYValves2026 faculty and to serve as one of the Program Directors for the #LAAC Summit, now in its second year, with @crfheart in New York.
It was a privilege to help shape a program spanning the full breadth of left atrial appendage closure, from the fundamentals of device selection and building a busy LAAC practice to advanced case scenarios, intra-procedural imaging, ICE guidance, and the management of complex anatomies.
I also had the opportunity to present several next-generation technologies through recorded cases from @StBernards Healthcare and @ARGJonesboro , and to share insights from the #VERITAS study on the learning curve of the @AbbottCardio Amulet 360 LAAO device, data demonstrating how safety, efficacy, and procedural efficiency improve over a remarkably short experience curve. Also showcased some of the First in Human images using #LUXERA , the next generation #4D ICE catheter from @SiemensHealth .
Above all, this field advances through teamwork. The best outcomes come from close collaboration across imaging specialists, structural interventionists, electrophysiologists, and cardiac surgeons working together as one heart team.
Thank you to the faculty, investigators, and colleagues who made this Summit such a success. @Drroxmehran@LisaEarnhardt@natale_md@MartyBLeon@jgranadacrf
