Impact of Airway Mucus Plugs on Secondary Pulmonary Fibrosis in COPD Patients: A Single-Center Case-Control Study
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently accompanied by airway mucus plugs, which are closely associated with airflow obstruction, acute exacerbations, and increased mortality. However, whether mucus plugs contribute to secondary pulmonary fibrosis remains unclear. This single-center, prospective, case-control study aims to investigate the relationship between airway mucus plugs and …
Intracardiac Echocardiography-Guided Cavotricuspid Isthmus Ablation With a Circular-Shaped Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter
This observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a circular-shaped pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheter for CTI ablation under the guidance of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE).
