Ventricular pseudoaneurysm (PSA) is a ventricular outpouching contained by adherent pericardium or myocardial scar tissue and represents a rare but potentially fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The vast majority of cases involve the left ventricular apex, in the area of infarct. It is extremely rare to see PSA formation within the interventricular septum (IVS).

Background: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) requires implantation of the lead deep in the interventricular septum. We developed a novel implantation method that does not require dedicated delivery catheters but only a manually shaped 3-dimensional (3D) stiff stylet.
Objective: The aim of the study was to characterize procedural outcomes of this technique when used as a routine approach for LBBAP.

Background: The interrupted technique of left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) limits the continuous monitoring of paced electrocardiogram and intracardiac electrogram (EGM) transitions, which may result in overlooked or misinterpreted subtle transitions.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the electrophysiological characteristics of lead position-dependent EGM continuous transitions to evaluate lead depth and to investigate the clinical significance of transseptal pacing modalities.
Methods: A continuous pacing and recording technique enabled by a rotatable connector was used to allow the real-time monitoring of progressive changes in paced EGM and electrocardiographic morphology.

We report an elderly male patient with frequent episodes of dizziness due to a complete atrioventricular block who underwent temporary pacemaker insertion in a local hospital. After the implantation of a permanent pacemaker and removal of the temporary pacemaker lead, the patient developed sudden neurological symptoms, upon which an acute cerebellar infarction was diagnosed via head CT. We will discuss the adequacy of the periprocedural administration.

Background: Right ventricular involvement in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is uncommon. This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes of the modified septal myectomy in patients diagnosed with biventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (BHCM), a subject seldom explored in the literature.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study from January 2019 to January 2023, enrolling 12 patients with BHCM.
