    Abstract The study aimed to provide physician modified fenestration (PMF) on a single-branched stent for the aortic arch (Castor) to protect the isolated left vertebral artery (ILVA) during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Patients who underwent TEVAR involving ILVA reconstruction through PMF performing on the Castor branched stent were included in a retrospective, multi-centre study from June 2018 to December 2022. In these patients, all proximal landing zones of "Castor" were positioned in Ishimaru zone 2a. A total of twenty-five patients met the inclusion criteria and the achievement rate showed 25/25 (100%) success in them. The twenty-five patients had a median follow-up length of 28.5 ± 14.6 months. One patient (4.0%) suffered from postoperative ischemic stroke before discharge. One patient (4.0%) died from a hemodialysis-related brain hemorrhage before discharge on the 29th day after the procedure. One patient died of advanced liver cancer in the 33th month after discharge. Aortic rupture, stroke or spinal cord injury did not occur throughout the follow-up period after discharge. Two patients (8.0%) experienced endoleak at the fenestration, however, resulting in only one's necessity for reintervention. Notably, the procedure effectively maintained ILVAs patency for all patients during follow up. According to our preliminary findings, performing a TEVAR under local anaesthesia using PMF on a Castor branched stent for ILVA preservation appeared practical, secure, and effective.

    Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the echocardiographic parameter ratio E/E' on the late recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients after receiving radiofrequency catheter ablation.We retrospectively examined total of 288 paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) patients that underwent a preliminary radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in our hospital. During the first phase in this study, the patients were divided into 2 groups upon AF recurrence after RFCA: Recurrent group, n = 67 patients with rapid trial arrhythmia that lasted for more than 30 seconds at 3 months after RFCA and the Nonrecurrent group, n = 221. The clinical conditions were compared between the 2 groups. During the second phase of this study, based on the results in the first phase, the patients were divided into another 2 groups according to whether the ratio of E/E' ≥13 .45: Higher ratio of E/E' group, n = 55 and Lower ratio of E/E' group n = 233. The late AF recurrent rates were also compared between the 2 groups.During the first phase, the univariate analysis indicated that the risk factors(P < .05)for PAF late recurrence included early recurrence, E', and the ratio E/E'. The Cox multivariate analysis showed that the ratio of E/E' and early recurrence were the independent predictors for late PAF recurrence. The ratio of E/E' that was cut off at 13.45 also predicted atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence with 40.3% sensitivity and 87.3% specificity. In the second phase, after completing the 1:1 matching, the Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the ratio of E/E' ≥ 13.45 was associated with further recurrences after RFCA (log-rank P = .009), compared to the patients with a ratio of E/E' < 13.45. The univariate Cox analysis indicated that an elevated ratio of E/E'(≥13.45) was the independent predictor for late PAF recurrence (HR = 3.322, 95%CI: 1.560-7.075, P = .002). However, the ratio of E/E' cut off at 13.25 predicted atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence with 75% sensitivity and 62.2% specificity.The ratio of E/E' ≥ 13.25 is an important predictor of the late recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA).

    Abstract Background: Amiodarone and propafenone are commonly used to maintain sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is not known which one is better in reducing early recurrence (ER) during the blanking period (the first three months after catheter ablation).
    Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of amiodarone and propafenone in reducing ER during the blanking period after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in AF patients.
    Materials and methods: A total of 694 patients who underwent their first RFCA between May 2014 and May 2018 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Subsequently, 202 patients were excluded according to the exclusion criteria. The remaining 492 patients were divided into two groups based on the choice of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) (amiodarone or propafenone) in the blanking period. The primary outcomes were incidence of ER and AAD-associated adverse effects during the blanking period after RFCA. Propensity score matching (PSM) analyses were used to compare the outcomes of the two groups while controlling for confounders.
    Results: Among the 492 patients who took AADs in the blanking period (187 amiodarone and 305 propafenone), PSM selected 135 unique pairs of patients with similar characteristics. Amiodarone was associated with a lower ER incidence rate (23.7% versus 48.9%,
    Conclusions: Compared with propafenone, amiodarone was associated with a lower ER incidence rate, and they had similar rates of AAD-associated adverse effects. Treatment with amiodarone in the blanking period was shown to be more effective in reducing ER than propafenone.
