OBJECTIVES: We aimed to construct an artificial intelligence-enabled electrocardiogram (ECG) algorithm that can accurately predict the presence of left atrial low-voltage areas (LVAs) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.
Digital surgery technologies, such as interventional robotics and sensor systems, not only improve patient care but also aid in the development and optimization of traditional invasive treatments and methods. Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most comm...

INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) ECG arrhythmia mapping provides arrhythmia source localization using 12-lead ECG data; whether this information impacts procedural efficiency is unknown. We performed a retrospective, case-control study to e...
BACKGROUND: Spatiotemporal dispersion-guided ablation is a tailored approach for patients in persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF). The characterization of dispersion extent and distribution and its association with common clinical descriptors of PsA...

OBJECTIVE: Transseptal puncture (TP) is the technique used to access the left atrium of the heart from the right atrium during cardiac catheterization procedures. Through repetition, electrophysiologists and interventional cardiologists experienced i...
PURPOSE: To compare the oncological and perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN) and percutaneous thermal ablation (PTA) for treatment of T1 renal cell cancer (RCC) in patients older than 75 years.
To compare outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and percutaneous tumor ablation (PTA) for completely endophytic renal masses. Data of patients who underwent RAPN or PTA for treatment of completely endophytic (three points for "E" d...
