Technologies associated with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices and lead systems have progressed. However, dislocation after coronary sinus (CS) lead placement continues to be a problem. We reported on the patient treated with CRT, in whom dislocation of CS lead occurred. In the case, we tried to reposition the CS lead without the left heart delivery system only using pre-shaped stylet and guidewire, and the dislocated CS lead could be successfully repositioned by the method. The method of only using a pre-shaped stylet and guidewire is easier than the conventional way, and it can shorten procedure duration and fluoroscopy time, as well as reduce the cost of treatment, but it is not always feasible.

Introduction: Permanent His bundle pacing (HBP) is the most physiological pacing modality, and new implantation systems are now available. The aim of the present study was to describe and compare four different techniques to perform HBP.

Methods And Results: We included all consecutive patients who underwent a HBP attempt in our initial experience between June 2020 and May 2022.

Until recently, left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAp) has mostly been performed using lumen-less fixed screw leads. There are limited data on LBBAp with conventional style-driven extendable screw-in (SDES) leads, particularly data performed by operators with no previous experience with LBBAp procedures. In total, 42 consecutive patients undergoing LBBAp using SDES leads and newly designed delivery sheaths (LBBAp group) were compared with those treated with conventional right ventricular pacing (RVp) for atrioventricular block (RVp group, n = 84) using propensity score matching (1:2 ratio).

IHU LIRYC ANR-10-IAHU-04, Electrophysiology and Heart Modeling Institute, University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux-Pessac, France.

Background: Ultralow temperature cyroablation (ULTC) is designed to create focal, linear, and circumferential lesions. The aim of this study was to assess the safety, efficacy, and durability of atrial and ventricular ULTC lesions in preclinical large animal models.

Methods And Results: The ULTC system uses nitrogen near its liquid-vapor critical point to cool 11-cm ablation catheters.

His bundle pacing using a simple stylet and a standard active fixation electrode.

J Electrocardiol

June 2021

Division of Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ankara City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.

Conventionally, His bundle pacing (HBP) is achieved using specially designed pacing leads and delivery sheaths. This paper describes the feasibility of permanent HBP with a pre-shaped simple stylet and a standard active-fixation electrode, through axillary vein access, without using dedicated delivery tools. This method may be a feasible and safe alternative to the only commercially available system.
