Abstract	Background: Post-surgical infections of the spine occur in from 0% to 18% of cases. Postoperative spine infections due to Clostridium Perfringens (CP) resulting in necrotizing fasciitis are extremely rare. However, since they may be fatal, early and definitive treatment is critical. Case description a: 62-year-old male with a T8-T9 Type C fracture, in ASIA Grade "E" (neurologically intact) underwent a posterior T6-T10 arthrodesis. However, 2 weeks postoperatively, he developed a postoperative thoracic wound infection; the cultures were positive for CP. As the patient developed necrotizing fasciitis, emergent debridement, negative pressure continued drainage, and initiation of appropriate antibiotic therapy were critical. Conclusion: Postoperative spinal infections due to CP with accompanying necrotizing fasciitis are extremely rare. As these infections may be fatal, they must be rapidly diagnosed and treated.

Abstract	Background: Venous ethanol ablation (VEA) can be effective for ventricular arrhythmias from the left ventricular summit (LVS); however, there are concerns about excessive ablation by VEA. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to delineate and quantify the location, extent, and evolution of ablated tissue after VEA as an intramural ablation technique in the LVS. Methods: VEA was performed in 59 patients with LVS ventricular arrhythmias. Targeted intramural veins were selected by electrograms from a 2F octapolar catheter or by guide-wire unipolar signals. Median ethanol delivered was 4 mL (IQR: 4-7 mL). Ablated areas were estimated intraprocedurally as increased echogenicity on intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and incorporated into 3-dimensional maps. In 44 patients, late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaged VEA scar and its evolution. Results: ICE-demonstrated increased intramural echogenicity (median volume of 2 mL; IQR: 1.7-4.3) at the targeted region of the 3-dimensional maps. Post-ethanol CMR showed intramural scar of 2.5 mL (IQR: 2.1-3.5 mL). Early (within 48 hours after VEA) CMR showed microvascular obstruction (MVO) in 30 of 31 patients. Follow-up CMR after a median of 51 (IQR: 41-170) days showed evolution of MVO to scar. ICE echogenicity and CMR scar volumes correlated with each other and with ethanol volume. Ventricular function and interventricular septum remained intact. Conclusions: VEA leads to intramural ablation that can be tracked intraprocedurally by ICE and creates regions of MVO that are chronically replaced by myocardial scar. VEA scar volume does not compromise septal integrity or ventricular function.

Abstract	Introduction: Spinal simple bone cysts, also known as solitary cysts, are extremely unusual benign primary bone tumors with few cases reported in the literature. Case presentation: Incidental Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) finding of a C2 Simple bone cyst in a 13-year-old female patient is reported. Complementary studies suggested the benign nature of the lesion. Patient underwent cervical curettage followed by tumor excision. A lateral submandibular approach to the upper cervical spine was used and careful bone resection was possible with a radiofrequency assisted burr and no instrumentation or fixation was required. The stability of the defect was ensured by filling it with bone allograft and by prescribing a postsurgical plastic cervical collar to maintain neck immobilization. Histological examination supported the diagnosis of simple bone cyst. At 6-12-month follow-up the patient presented no recurrence or symptomatology. Conclusions: Solitary bone cysts are infrequent entities in the cervical vertebrae and preservation of spine stability without instrumentation to avoid neurological complications is often challenging. In this case, the proximity of the cyst to the right vertebral artery and the risk of injury were high; however the surgical approach used was successful and no recurrence or instability was evidenced on postoperative MRI.

Abstract	In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007, the first joint expert consensus document was issued, guiding healthcare professionals involved in catheter or surgical AF ablation. Mounting research evidence and technological advances have resulted in a rapidly changing landscape in the field of catheter and surgical AF ablation, thus stressing the need for regularly updated versions of this partnership which were issued in 2012 and 2017. Seven years after the last consensus, an updated document was considered necessary to define a contemporary framework for selection and management of patients considered for or undergoing catheter or surgical AF ablation. This consensus is a joint effort from collaborating cardiac electrophysiology societies, namely the European Heart Rhythm Association, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the Asia Pacific HRS, and the Latin American HRS.

Abstract	Background: Autonomic modulation is a valuable therapeutic option for the management of ventricular arrhythmias. Bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation (BCSD) has shown promising results in the acute, intermediate, and long-term management of polymorphic and monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with structural heart disease. Cardiomyopathy (CM) due to Chagas disease (CD), and associated VT, is thought to be in part due to autonomic neuronal destruction and dysfunction. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess whether BCSD is a safe and effective treatment modality in patients with CD and VT storm or refractory VT. Methods: A retrospective analysis of data from patients with chagasic CM who underwent BCSD between 2009 and 2015 at 2 international centers was performed. Results: Of 75 patients who underwent BCSD for VT storm or refractory VT in the setting of CM, 7 (9.3%) patients had CD as the etiology of CM. All patients had monomorphic VT. Median follow-up was 7 months (range 1-46 months). All patients either underwent previous unsuccessful catheter ablation or were not candidates for ablation. The median number of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks 1 month before BCSD was 4 (range 2-30) and decreased to 0 (range 0-2) during available follow-up after BCSD. When antitachycardia pacing therapies were included in the analysis, the median number of ICD therapies (shocks + antitachycardia pacing) still decreased to 1 (range 0-3). Conclusion: In patients with chagasic CM presenting with refractory monomorphic VT, early evidence suggests that BCSD reduces appropriate ICD therapy and may represent a valuable treatment option.
