Video Summary

The session, led by Dr. Yongmei Cha at Mayo Clinic, focused on innovative cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) technologies and troubleshooting techniques. The session featured four speakers, each addressing different aspects of CRT technology. Dr. Harold Kawata discussed optimizing left bundle branch pacing, which bypasses traditional right ventricular pacing to avoid desynchronized heart contractions and pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. He emphasized the importance of technique, understanding anatomy, and procedural strategy. Dr. El-Mazri highlighted the nuances of implanting and following up with leadless pacemakers, specifically the Micra and Avere devices, detailing the differences and considerations for reducing complications like perforation. Dr. Camille Frezier-Mills spoke about dual-chamber leadless pacing, addressing implant locations, optimizing programming, and maximizing battery longevity. Finally, Omar Aldas discussed optimizing the extravascular ICD, sharing insights on procedural planning and troubleshooting common issues like over-sensing. Throughout, the importance of understanding anatomy, technique refinement, and personalized patient care were underscored, alongside strategies for managing device-related complications.
