Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the upper arm: A case report.

Rationale: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an uncommon benign myofibroblastic tumor that usually occurs in the lung, mediastinum, abdomen and vulvovaginal region. IMT of the upper arm is exceedingly rare with unknown etiology. Pathology plays a major role in the diagnosis of IMT, and radiological characteristics of the condition are crucial for differential diagnosis.

Effect of implantation site of the His bundle pacing leads on pacing parameters: a single-center experience.

Background: HB pacing is a promising approach to achieve physiological pacing, but its efficacy and long-term effects require further validation. In current study, we deemed to investigate the effect of the His bundle pacing (HBP) lead location on pacing parameters.

Methods: 2D echocardiography imaging was performed after successful implantation, according to which the patients were divided into groups A (whose His lead tips were at the atrial side) and B (whose His lead tips were at the ventricular side).
