Right unilateral ECT at 6x seizure threshold: is it effective in the psychoses?
6x RUL-ECT was effective in 4 patients with nondepressive, psychotic disorders. While clinically viable and although memory was not assessed, it is uncertain what advantage 6x RUL-ECT confers over a bilateral electrode placement. The real focus should remain on clinical responsivity.
Concomitant pAF ablation surgery in CABG and/or AVR is safe and at least as effective as in MV surgery, presumably because severe LA enlargement is exceptionally rare in this group.
