7m 24sPart 4 Questions and Answers
Discover the future of pacing in complex patients with some of the world’s leading experts.
Prof Aldo Rinaldi (Guys and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, UK) and Dr Tiffany Patterson (Guys and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, UK) explore the latest advances in leadless pacemaker technology, with a special focus on its role in patients undergoing Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement (TTVR). This video series offers a rare opportunity to hear from world-renowned experts about how leadless pacing is transforming care for complex cardiac patients.
They are joined by Prof Eyal Nof (Sheba Medical Center, IL), who tackles one of the toughest clinical challenges: the safe and effective use of leadless pacemakers in patients with active infections. Through in-depth discussions, viewers can gain insight into patient selection, procedural planning and strategies to minimise complications.
The series features real-world case discussions and interactive Q&A, showing how these advanced technologies are applied in practice and how clinical decisions are made in challenging situations. Viewers will come away with a comprehensive understanding of the evolving role of leadless pacemakers, from procedural considerations to post-implantation management and how these innovations can be translated into improved patient outcomes.
