Pediatric EP Potpourri Oral Abstract Session-Pediatric EP Potpourri Oral Abstract Session

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session from HRS 47 delves into various notable discussions and presentations concerning advancements and studies in cardiology, particularly focusing on children's health. One highlight includes a discussion by Ivor Othalos from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia on employing artificial intelligence for predicting accessory pathway locations in children with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. His talk emphasizes improved prediction accuracy using AI over traditional algorithms. Another intriguing session was on the effectiveness of a 10-minute versus 30-minute post-ablation waiting period in pediatric patients, showing potential advantages of a shorter period except in right free-wall pathways. Molly Shaw presented on a new thin ICD lead design, emphasizing improved durability and performance in pediatric patients. The presentation also touched upon compatibility with existing pacing techniques, including potential for use in conduction system pacing. Finally, Joey Needleman explored early outcomes of leadless versus transvenous pacing in young patients, indicating comparable safety and effectiveness, with lesser procedural complications in the leadless group. Collectively, these discussions underscore ongoing innovations and evaluations in cardiac care, specifically tailored to younger populations.
