Introduction: Antiarrhythmic selection for progressive and intractable PVCs unresponsive to first second line regimens can prove challenging. Genetic analysis assists by targeting specific genes, such as the SCN5a gene, which encodes alpha subunit of cardiac sodium channel NaV1.5. Mutations are associated with autosomal dominant phenotypes multifocal ectopic Purkinje-related premature Contractions (MEPPCs). Case: A 38 year old female a history syncope moderate left ventricular systolic...
Inpatient mortality with infective endocarditis (IE) is 15 to 30% long hospitalizations. In complicated IE, antibiotic therapy alone often not sufficient and surgery necessary when bacteremia persists or vegetations are large.
Background: Leadless cardiac pacemakers (LCP) have evolved as an excellent alternative to transvenous pacemaker (TVPM) for bradycardia therapy with safety and efficacy outcomes. Micra TM was the first commercially available LCP. The device attaches right ventricular myocardium four Nitinol FlexFix™tines. Its inherent design poses problems retrievability. This leads many devices being turned off left behind in ventricle at end of its life. Aveir retrieval catheter recently launched part...
Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone therapy during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) isolation. 30% patients continue to have recurrent AF despite pulmonary (PV) Defining targets for in PV non responder subgroup continues be challenging technological advances. Volta AF-Xplorer™ (VX) an artificial intelligence (AI) system that analyzes intracardiac signals using electrocardiograms recognize regions spatial temporal dispersion and generate sequential maps...
Introduction: COVID-19 redefined workflows in the field of electrophysiology (EP). The geographic paucity experienced clinical mapping support was a crucial issue that limited worldwide adoption complex ablation procedures. Hypothesis: To ascertain feasibility utilizing novel software for remote and all spectrums cardiac procedures geography. Methods: Ablation performed at Metromed International Cardiac Centre (MICC); India were included this early analysis (EFA). All by single EP operator....
Background: Right heart (RH) infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare but serious complication of transvenous devices (TVD) often requiring system extraction. Surgery necessary for large vegetations or when bacteremia persists despite antibiotics. Objective: To evaluate outcomes patients who underwent transcatheter debulking IE-related RH in the setting device endocarditis. Methods: Patients with TVD and IE were included this analysis. Half debulked using thrombus aspiration system, while other...
Introduction: Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) therapy is approved for stroke prevention in nonvalvular fibrillation (AF) patients intolerant long term oral anticoagulation (OAC). Peri-device leak (PDL) the achilles heel to optimal LAAC and increases risk. Here, we describe novel use of a second device large PDL bilobar appendage. Case: A 66-year-old male with history AF recurrent bleeding on OAC Watchman 2.5 implant six years prior, presented our facility repeat ablation. Pre-procedural...
Introduction: Despite early mitigation efforts, the opioid pandemic in United States has persisted and affected many Americans. A public health emergency was declared regarding prescriptions. Alternative approaches to postoperative pain control after transvenous cardiac device implants (TCDI) adults have not been described. Methods: We report a single center retrospective analysis of 153 consecutive patients that underwent TCDI from January August 2021 with ultrasound guided pectoral nerve...
