In Vitro Assessment of 3T MRI Effects on Non–3T‐Compatible Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The safety of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) during 3‐Tesla (3T) MRI remains uncertain, particularly for devices not designed for 3T use. We experimentally evaluated 3T MRI effects on 3T‐compatible and non–3T‐compatible CIEDs.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is recommended in patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND). In patients with coexisting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), clinicians may be hesitant to treat SND due to concerns about exacerbating heart failure.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemaker implantation traditionally relies on fluoroscopy and contrast‐guided techniques. However, in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease, the use of contrast carries a risk of nephrotoxicity, and fluoroscopy leads to additional ionizing radiation exposure.

Impact of Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Position on Subclinical Right Ventricular Perforation
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Leadless pacemakers are typically implanted in the mid‐septum of the right ventricle (RV) to mitigate the risk of perforation. However, reports on the precise location of these implants are limited. This study aimed to elucidate tine‐based leadless pacemaker position and presence of subclinical RV perforation through computed ...

Retrieval of the Leadless Cardiac Pacemaker [PDF]
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2016 Background— Leadless cardiac pacemakers have emerged as a safe and effective alternative to conventional transvenous single-chamber ventricular pacemakers. Herein, we report a multicenter experience on the feasibility and safety of acute retrieval (<6 weeks) and chronic retrieval (>6 weeks) of the leadless cardiac ...

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemakers (LPMs) have been shown to reduce complications compared with conventional transvenous pacing. Transfemoral venous access (FA) is the standard implantation approach; however, the transjugular approach (JA) has recently emerged as an alternative strategy, but comparative evidence remains limited.

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Helix‐fixed leadless pacemaker delivery can be challenging after tricuspid annuloplasty with a rigid ring. An 80‐year‐old woman with prior mitral valve repair, tricuspid annuloplasty (26‐mm MC ring), and Maze III surgery presented with syncope due to atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response. Standard maneuvers failed to advance the

Acoustic Impedance‐Tailored High‐Performance Ultrasound‐Driven Triboelectric Nanogenerators
Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 16, Issue 21, 3 June 2026.An acoustic impedance–mismatched triboelectric nanogenerator is presented for efficient ultrasound energy harvesting in implantable medical devices. Concave and convex membrane patterning induces controlled acoustic impedance mismatch, which boosts output by ∼200% and ensures stable operation over 100 million cycles and six weeks in vivo, highlighting ...

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.High femoral puncture during large‐bore femoral procedures can injure the inferior epigastric artery, causing pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula. This case highlights the need for careful access‐site selection using combined ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, even during pulsed field ablation.

Clinical Prediction Model for Unsuccessful Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 1211-1219, June 2026.A clinical prediction model based on NIVCD, interventricular septal thickness, and right atrial area enables individualized estimation of unsuccessful LBBAP and may help guide procedural strategy. ABSTRACT Introduction Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has rapidly become a preferred form of cardiac physiologic pacing; however, predictors of ...
