Early experience with a novel transapical transcatheter aortic valve system in patients with severe aortic stenosis: a prospective, multicenter study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

All patients were pre-TAVR assessed by transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography of the aortic valve (AV) and relevant left cardiac and vascular anatomy. Nanjing) to evaluate its safety and efficacy.Methods130 high risk patients with symptomatic severe AS from 11 institutions were treated with the novel Xcor system.

PO-05-089 JUGULAR VEIN APPROACH FOR IMPLANTATION OF A LEADLESS PACEMAKER IN A PATIENT WITH INTERRUPTED IVC AND AZYGOUS CONTINUATION

HeartRhythm

Leadless pacemakers are an alternative to transvenous devices for patients at high risk for lead-related complications. However, conventional implantation is done via femoral access, which may not be possible in cases with variant venous anatomy like interrupted IVC.

PO-05-074 PACEMAKER IMPLANTATION IN PATIENT WITH CHALLENGING ANATOMY: ISOLATED LEFT SUPERIOR VENA CAVA

HeartRhythm

Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a common anomaly in the thoracic venous system, accounting for 0.2-4.3% of all congenital cardiac anomalies However, isolated PLSVC may occur in 10-20% of PLSVC cases.

Snare‐Assisted Flexion of 27‐French Leadless Pacemaker Delivery Sheath: A Case Report

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT Introduction A leadless pacemaker (LLPM) was recommended for a patient with intermittent complete heart block and near-syncope. Methods and Results Delivery of LLPM is through a large sheath that has limited deflection and steerability. The ventricular LLPM was successfully fixated.

Different leadless pacemakers working in harmony (Aveir in the atrium/Micra AV2 in the ventricle) in a patient with dextrocardia and double outlet right ventricle after high?risk infected device extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods We present the first described case of using two leadless pacing systems manufactured by separate companies implanted within the same patient to provide atrial and ventricular pacing due to complex congenital anatomy. Laser-lead extraction and temporary atrial pacemaker placement was performed.

What is new in Heart failure management ? Ultrasonic cardiac re-synchronization : The WiSE -CRT device

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

The primary reason is, the LV epicardial lead pacing site was pre-selected by the coronary sinus anatomy.
