Background: Extraction of a broken lead fragment (BLF) has received scant attention in the literature.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was to compare the effectiveness of different approaches and tools used for BLF removal during 127 procedures.
Results: A superior approach was the most popular (75.

The number of device implantation procedures has increased in adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD). Despite significant improvements in materials and implantation techniques, these patients are exposed to higher risk of device related complications than general population. Herein, we describe our single tertiary referral center experience on transvenous pacemaker (PM) implantation and follow-up in adult patients with moderate and complex congenital heart disease (CHD) as limited data are available on long-term outcome.

Background: Placement of a temporary pacemaker is a vital skill in the emergency setting in patients that present with life-threatening bradycardia. Transvenous pacing is the definitive method of stabilizing the arrhythmia compared to transcutaneous pacing, as it provides more comfort and better control of heart rate, until the insertion of a permanent pacemaker.
Case Report: In this case report, we describe the steps using TEE to guide the insertion of transvenous pacer at the emergency department.

Cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) fire spontaneously in a tonic mode, although the precision of this pacemaking activity is disturbed in many abnormal conditions involving cerebellar atrophy, such as many spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs). In our previous studies we used the single-unit extracellular recording method to analyze spontaneous PC firing in vivo in the anesthetized SCA2-58Q transgenic mice. We realized that PCs from aging SCA2-58Q mice fire much less regularly compared to PCs from their wild type (WT) littermates and this abnormal activity can be reversed with an intraperitoneal (i.
