How to avoid phrenic nerve Injury during RF ablations ?

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Phrenic nerve arises from C3, C4, C5 cervical spinal nerves ,but essentially from C4. In the neck, it runs along the anterior scalene muscle, deep to the pre-vertebral fascia. It Enters the thoracic inlet posterior to the subclavian vein and anterior to the subclavian artery. Does It traverse the Pericardial Space? Contrary to my longstanding belief, I realized just now, the phrenic nerve does enter the pericardial cavity.

No Need to Discontinue Abelacimab Pre-Procedure

CardiacWire

A new analysis of AZALEA-TIMI 71 suggests Anthos Therapeutics’ abelacimab is capable of reducing major bleeding in patients with AFib undergoing invasive procedures. Abelacimab is a factor XI inhibitor that helps lower the risk of bleeding in patients who need anticoagulation and usually lasts for over 28 days after a single dose. Currently, standard practice is to interrupt anticoagulation one to two days before most procedures for patients with AFib, but abelacimab could help avoid this.

Cardiac-specific overexpression of Klotho attenuates paraquat-induced myocardial injury by enhancing the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Paraquat, a widely used herbicide, is known to induce oxidative stress and inflammation, which leads to myocardial injury. Klotho, a protein with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, has garnered as a potential cardioprotective factor. This study aimed to investigate whether cardiac-specific overexpression of klotho mitigates paraquat-induced myocardial injury through the activation of the NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf-2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathway.
