Dr. Javier Moreno Planas Arritmias H. Ramón y Cajal, Madrid. emphasises the importance of using voltage maps in combination with Near Field This technique allows for the confirmation of findings by highlighting areas that might not be completely dead, thus supporting more accurate decision-making

Dr. Yap highlights the difference between the AtriClip and the LARIAT, explaining that the AtriClip operates on a completely different mechanism, which is more robust and foolproof compared to the LARIAT #epeeps

Unseen footage with Roderick Tung about five minutes after we cut off the live transmission showing a VT termination where it then breaks out the mitral annulus Love to see this! 🙌 VT mapping with HD Grid catheter : Re-do post-infarction substrate #epeeps

John Yap highlights the AtriClip (AtriCure, Inc.) is now the default device used for procedures replacing previous methods like staples Post-closure there is a critical waiting period to monitor for any ECG changes particularly due to the proximity of the circumflex artery #EPeeps

DiamondTemp - Temperature controlled ablation with Claire Martin After the substrate modification and a VT stimulation, a brief occurrence of polymorphic VT was noted, but it was not deemed clinically significant, so the procedure was concluded at that point #EPeeps

MICRA preparation discussed by Dr. Devi G Nair Emphasising the importance of properly flushing the MICRA device's channel with saline to remove any air bubbles before deployment. #epeeps

The Volta system automatically detects and tags areas of dispersion using color-coded markers on the EnSite map This automation is a significant advantage reducing the manual effort required and increasing the precision in identifying areas of interest to ablate Dr. Devi G Nair

Key insights from Roderick Tung Focus on activation propagation, challenges in identifying block lines, precise HD grid catheter mapping, strategic voltage mapping in scar tissue, and refining ablation strategies for better outcomes #EPeeps

Evolut FX deployment with Dr. Nicolas M Van Mieghem Key to the procedure is aligning the gold markers, which are 3mm from the front frame, aiming for an ideal depth placement at the annular plane The target implantation depth is between 1mm and 5mm, with 3mm considered optimal

Orbital atherectomy with Dr. Nicolas M Van Mieghem using the Abbott Cardiovascular Diamondback 360 system It is highlighted that this has the ability to interact with the lesion in both directions. This is an advantage over other systems like rotablation, which only allows for anterograde therapy

The RotaPro system is employed to debulk these heavily calcified lesions A key concern is the presence of nodular calcium, which is difficult to treat and contributes to restenosis. BostonSci Cardiology

Transaxillary TAVI access due to severe peripheral artery disease performed by Dr. Nicolas M Van Mieghem Unlike the femoral approach, transaxillary access often requires more hands. Perclose is used to achieve hemostasis during the transaxillary procedure.
