Dans le supplément de ce dimanche, en première partie, direction l'Égypte, où l'excision est largement pratiquée et demeure un traumatisme pour des millions de femmes. En deuxième partie, direction l'Espagne. La course à la neutralité carbone est lancée en Europe. En Andalousie, il n'est pas rare que des paysans se fassent exproprier dans le but que leurs terrains agricoles soient transformés en parcs de panneaux solaires. (Rediffusion) Excision, la dignité mutilée des femmes égyptiennes  L'excision. Rien qu'à l'évocation de ce mot, le traumatisme de millions de femmes ressurgit. Ablation du clitoris, mutilation des lèvres… Cette procédure violente est un des symboles du patriarcat, une tradition perpétrée au nom d'une soi-disant pureté. Et elle est particulièrement répandue dans un pays : l'Égypte. Théoriquement, l'excision y est interdite par la loi, c'est donc un crime. Mais dans les faits, elle est largement pratiquée. En Égypte, près de 9 femmes sur 10 auraient subi cette mutilation. Nous vous emmenons aujourd'hui suivre le combat de celles qui tentent de résister, et de soigner leur corps et leurs âmes. Un Grand reportage d'Alice Moreno qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Espagne : Touche pas à mon olivier, le monde rural andalou en guerre contre l'énergie solaire L'Union européenne a promis d'atteindre la neutralité carbone dans 25 ans, et pour y arriver, les pays sont lancés dans une course à l'énergie renouvelable. C'est particulièrement le cas, en Andalousie, dans le sud de l'Espagne, qui est l'une des régions les plus ensoleillées d'Europe. Là, plusieurs centaines de fermes solaires de grande ampleur sont en cours de développement. Oui, sauf que pour installer tous ces panneaux, les autorités espagnoles rachètent des terrains agricoles, et exproprient, parfois de force, les paysans. Le solaire est d'un coup devenu bien moins populaire. Un Grand reportage de Noémie Lehouelleur qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.

The prospective, multicenter, randomized BRAVE trial evaluated epicardial catheter ablation targeting the arrhythmogenic substrate in Brugada syndrome patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) to prevent ventricular fibrillation (VF). After a planned interim analysis of 52 patients, ablation significantly reduced VF episodes compared with controls (hazard ratio 0.29; P = .018), prompting early trial termination—approximately 83% remained VF-free after one procedure and 90% after a repeat, with a low complication rate (one hemopericardium). https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-5271(25)02381-1/fulltext?uuid=uuid%3A6285a37b-899f-4fcb-bab8-f79564e1bd57 Host Disclosure(s): J.

Dr. Hao Nguyen presents focal therapy as a promising treatment option for carefully selected prostate cancer patients, especially those with intermediate-risk, localized disease. Unlike whole-gland treatments, focal therapy targets only the tumor while preserving healthy tissue, reducing the risk of side effects like urinary or sexual dysfunction. UCSF offers multiple approaches—high-intensity focused ultrasound, cryotherapy, and irreversible electroporation—selected based on tumor location and anatomy. Dr. Nguyen emphasizes the importance of precise imaging, MRI fusion biopsy, and genomic testing for patient selection and treatment planning. Early outcomes show encouraging results, with most patients avoiding surgery or radiation within two years and maintaining quality of life. While not yet standard first-line care, focal therapy is gaining traction through research and expert consensus. Series: "Prostate Cancer Patient Conference" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 40804]

Oral antiarrhythmics have limited efficacy and significant risks Catheter ablation is now a first-line option in suitable patients Newer ablation technology - Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is safer and faster Anticoagulation decisions remain based on stroke risk, not ablation status Genuine post-procedural issues may be benign Ongoing healthcare professional role - Blood pressure and risk factor control The questions answered in this podcast are listed below.They were compiled by GPs and health professionals around Australia who attended Healthed’s face-to-face seminars. How effective are oral antiarrhythmic medications? Does this cure atrial fibrillation? What is the current state of ablation technology? Can you explain what you mean by "rapid" and provide an example of how long a procedure typically takes? Does reduced scarring decrease the likelihood or complexity of needing a repeat ablation? What are some of the contraindications in terms of structurally abnormal heart that would be contraindications for the patient? How should atrial fibrillation be approached in patients with severe ischaemic heart disease? Does this complicate treatment? If a patient has an AF ablation, can they come off my anticoagulant? How do you manage patient’s embolic issues? How soon after the procedure can patients typically be discharged? Following successful AF suppression, is it possible for patients to stop taking DOACs or other anticoagulants? After discharge, how soon should patients follow up with their GP? What should the GP monitor and what should be communicated back to the specialist? When will you consider AV node ablation and insertion of a pacemaker?

Dr. Emile Daoud, Deputy Editor of JACC Clinical Electrophysiology discusses Premature Ventricular Complexes after Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation and Recurrent Atrial Arrhythmias: admIRE Subanalysis.

Be alert to atypical symptoms, such as fatigue or reduced exercise tolerance, particularly in younger patients Serial Holter monitoring and attention to atrial ectopy burden can guide suspicion Wearables like the Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch are effective adjuncts for rhythm detection Early ablation may be appropriate, even in younger patients with a low CHA₂DS₂-VASc score, if they are symptomatic Collaboration between healthcare professionals and Electrophysiologists is essential to optimise patient outcomes The questions answered in this podcast are listed below.They were compiled by GPs and health professionals around Australia who attended Healthed’s face-to-face seminars. Atrial fibrillation – it's not an uncommon arrhythmia in Australia, is it? What are some of the environmental factors that have been identified as contributing to atrial fibrillation, apart from COVID? Why are we picking up more cases of atrial fibrillation? Are patients becoming more symptomatic? Obstructive sleep apnoea doesn't cause atrial fibrillation, but can it make it permanent? How can the pulmonary veins cause a cardiac arrhythmia? What are the indications for treating patients with ablation? How is it managed? What's the current thinking? How far should a healthcare professionals go in trying to detect atrial fibrillation in patients with unusual symptoms?

Assessing Recurrence Following Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation   Guest: Nicholas Tan, M.D., M.S. Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.   Pulsed field ablation has been rapidly adopted across the United States since FDA approval was granted 1 year ago, due to its excellent acute efficacy, favorable safety profile, and fast workflow. However, recurrences post-ablation are comparable to that of previously established modalities, making this a significant hurdle that has yet to be overcome. Changes to mapping/ablation strategies, updates to PFA parameters, autonomic modulation, and combination modality ablations (PFA/RFA) offer some avenues for improvement   Topics Discussed:  What is pulsed field ablation (PFA) and how does it differ from previously established modalities of ablation such as radiofrequency and cryoablation? What are the recurrence rates post-PFA and how do they compare with other modalities? In patients who undergo redo ablations following an index PFA procedure, what are the most common causes (i.e. reconnection of pulmonary veins versus new sites)? How do you think PFA will evolve in the coming years   Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.

ST elevation is clearly a worrying finding that can herald life-threatening conditions, such as ST elevation myocardial infarction. But not all ST-elevations are created equal, and Trainees would benefit from considering a broader number of causes for this presentation. In today's podcast the team will discuss a case of ST elevation observed in a 65-year-old female during the routine elective procedure of atrial fibrillation ablation. A range of pathophysiologies is discussed that can help listeners work though the differentials in a systematic way. Guests Assoc Prof Pramesh Kovoor FRACP FACC PhD (Westmead Hospital; the University of Sydney) Dr Neil Warwick FANZCA (Westmead Hospital) HostsAssociate Professor Stephen Bacchi FRACP (University of Adelaide)Dr Joshua Kovoor (Ballarat Base Hospital)ProductionProduced by Stephen Bacchi and Mic Cavazzini.

Endometrial ablation has become a cornerstone procedure in the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding, but is it the right solution for every patient that meets the indication? In this episode of the BackTable OBGYN Podcast, Dr. Ted Anderson from Vanderbilt University joins host Dr. Mark Hoffman to discuss the evolution of endometrial ablation and its contemporary utilization, including patient selection, technical considerations, and alternative treatments for abnormal uterine bleeding. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Anderson begins by detailing the history of abnormal uterine bleeding alongside the evolution of the endometrial ablation techniques that have been used to treat it. Shifting focus to current day practice, he then shares his approach to endometrial ablation, covering patient selection and the technical aspects of his approach. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Anderson emphasizes the importance of how we define success in endometrial ablation, explaining that eumenorrhea (normal bleeding that no longer interferes with life events) is the goal, as opposed to the more traditional view that amenorrhea is the target outcome. The episode closes with a discussion on the role of alternative treatments, such as the Mirena IUD and hysterectomy for abnormal uterine bleeding. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 09:29 - History of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding and Endometrial Ablation 23:31 - Evolution of Endometrial Ablation Devices/Techniques 31:11 - Selecting the Right Patient for Ablation Success 34:38 - Post-Tubal Sterilization Ablation Syndrome 38:27 - The Role of IUDs in Managing AUB 44:07 - Reevaluating Endometrial Ablation Success Metrics 49:55 - Innovative Ablation Techniques: Cryoablation and Steam 51:48 - Adenomyosis and Fertility-Sparing Treatments 57:28 - Final Thoughts

William Sauer, MD, FHRS, CCDS, Brigham and Women's Hospital is joined by Tobias Reichlin, MD, University Hospital Basel, Switzerland, and Nikolas Nozica, MD, Brigham and Women's Hospital, to discuss the Nature Medicine article Safety of pulsed field ablation in more than 17,000 patients with atrial fibrillation in the MANIFEST-17K study. The following is a brief summary of the study covered in the article. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging technology for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), for which pre-clinical and early-stage clinical data are suggestive of some degree of preferentiality to myocardial tissue ablation without damage to adjacent structures. Here in the MANIFEST-17K study, we assessed the safety of PFA by studying the post-approval use of this treatment modality. Of the 116 centers performing post-approval PFA with a pentaspline catheter, data were received from 106 centers (91.4% participation) regarding 17,642 patients undergoing PFA (mean age 64, 34.7% female, 57.8% paroxysmal AF, and 35.2% persistent AF). No esophageal complications, pulmonary vein stenosis, or persistent phrenic palsy was reported (transient palsy was reported in 0.06% of patients; 11 of 17,642). Major complications, reported for ~1% of patients (173 of 17,642), were pericardial tamponade (0.36%; 63 of 17,642) and vascular events (0.30%; 53 of 17,642). Stroke was rare (0.12%; 22 of 17,642) and death was even rarer (0.03%; 5 of 17,642). Unexpected complications of PFA were coronary arterial spasm in 0.14% of patients (25 of 17,642) and hemolysis-related acute renal failure necessitating hemodialysis in 0.03% of patients (5 of 17,642). Taken together, these data indicate that PFA demonstrates a favorable safety profle by avoiding much of the collateral damage seen with conventional thermal ablation. PFA has the potential to be transformative for the management of patients with AF.  https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-024-03114-3 Host Disclosure(s): W.

For hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who are not candidates for liver transplant or resection, lesion ablation can be a curative treatment. With multiple ablation options available and still under investigation, it can be challenging to navigate the differences between them. In this episode, Dr. Tyler Sandow hosts a discussion with interventional radiologists Dr. Kirema Garcia-Reyes, Dr. Sabeen Dhand, and Dr. Kevin Burns on the various ablation options for HCC and when to use each one. Physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants can follow this link to earn CME / CE credits for completing an accredited learning activity related to this discussion: https://www.cmeuniversity.com/course/take/125738" --- This podcast is supported by an educational grant from: AstraZeneca https://www.astrazeneca.com/our-therapy-areas/oncology.html With additional support from: Boston Scientific https://www.bostonscientific.com/en-US/medical-specialties/interventional-radiology/interventional-oncology.html --- SYNPOSIS The doctors first discuss Barcelona-Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) Stage A patients, where lesion size and location are key factors in deciding between ablation and transarterial therapies. They then compare cryoablation and microwave ablation, highlighting that cryoablation offers better visualization and control of the ablation zone, while microwave ablation is more effective for treating larger lesions. Dr. Burns introduces histotripsy, a noninvasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to mechanically ablate tumors. He shares his experiences as an early adopter of this technology and discusses how intraoperative cone beam CT can help treat lesions located near critical structures or those poorly visualized on ultrasound. Finally, Dr. Garcia-Reyes and Dr. Berman provide insights into patient selection, pre-procedural imaging, and technical tips for Y90. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 02:04 - Ablation vs Y90 in BCLC A Patients 05:58 - Same-Day Y90 15:55 - Y90 for Large Tumors 17:51 - Ideal Cases for Cryoablation 19:38 - Explanation of Histotripsy 32:09 - Procedural Specifics for Histotripsy 38:21 - Technical Tips for Y90 --- RESOURCES Including the Hollow Viscera (Stomach or Bowel) within the Ice Ball during Cryoablation: A Review of Adverse Events (Abramyan et al, 2024): https://www.jvir.org/article/S1051-0443(24)00681-X/abstract
