Computerized tomography image correlation of His bundle/deep septal pacing location and outcomes: an analysis from the Canberra HIs bundle/deep septal Pacing Study (CHIPS).

Background: Localisation of the conduction system under fluoroscopy is not easy and the ideal location of the pacing leads in physiological pacing is still being debated.

Objective: The primary aim was to assess the lead locations using cardiac CT scan. Secondary aims were clinical outcomes including success and safety of the procedure and lead performance.

Cardiac resynchronization with His-CRT-D in a patient with severe heart failure and Scimitar syndrome.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy with His-bundle pacing is evolving rapidly as a viable cardiac device strategy for the treatment of severe chronic heart failure. The success of this technique in patients with congenital heart disease is facilitated by advanced integrated imaging modalities. We report a case of cardiac resynchronization therapy with His-bundle pacing with defibrillator for the management of a patient with heart failure with severely reduced ejection fraction, left bundle branch block, and congenital heart disease characterized by Scimitar syndrome with cardiac dextroposition.

Premature Trigger of ERI in Medtronic EnRhythm Devices.

Background: Medical technology has made significant advances over the last few decades with smaller and more dynamic pacemakers. However, technical failures leading to premature replacement is a cause of concern. We present a series of Medtronic EnRhythm devices that reached premature elective replacement indicator (ERI).

Feasibility and safety of Reveal LINQ insertion in a sterile procedure room versus electrophysiology laboratory.

Background: Insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) are increasingly utilized for diagnosis of unexplained syncope and arrhythmia monitoring. The Reveal LINQ is a novel miniaturized ICM with improved algorithms. The feasibility and safety of insertion outside the traditional electrophysiology laboratory is unknown.
