In this in vitro model, FTI and LSI predicted RF lesion dimensions, whereas power and CF did not. The LSI predictive value was higher than that of FTI. Steam pops occurred only using high ablation power levels, regardless of the targeted LSI.

EAMS-guided CRT implantation proved safe and effective in both high- and low-experienced centers and allowed to reduce fluoroscopy use by ≈75% and angiography rate by ≈70%.

This ICE-guided focused endocardial surface registration seems to be superior to landmark registration in achieving a better alignment between the CT/MR image and the electroanatomical map. The concurrent use of standard surface registration may result in rotation of the atrial chamber.

The fragility of custom-made PHA cranioplasty implants increases if the surgeon fails to achieve a precise design and validation, and/or an accurate surgical procedure. Nevertheless, careful attention during these phases helps to maintain the strength of the implant, given the more favorable mechanical conditions, without interfering with its biomimetic capacity.

Recent 3D mapping tools allow outstanding anatomical rendering and are key in complex ablation procedure set-up. This study shows that 3D anatomical reconstruction of LA, PVs, and their variable branches is not only safe and fast but also accurate and reliable.
