🫀 #EHRAtopicweek | Vascular access in EP Landmarks alone can deceive you. At lower inguinal punctures, the femoral vein sits posterior to the artery (>50% overlap) in ~24% of cases — and fully lateral in 6%. That's why palpation-guided access carries a real AV-fistula risk. The fix? Ultrasound-guided access. Better success, fewer complications, especially in difficult or previously failed cases. Know the anatomy. Image the vessel. Puncture with confidence. 🎯 Read more 👉 bit.ly/4eTAp7w @escardio #EHRA_ESC

@syamkumarmd Could be PJRT? Pat is young, incessant Tachy, long RP

37 yrs old male, with minimal symptoms and noted to have severe LV dysfunction. Normal Cath and LVEDP is 3!. What could be the coause and where do you localize the problem? #EPeeps

@NikhilShahMD do you know, if the manuscript ia already published? can not find it

Great talk at #HRS2026 on OCT in the RCA following CTI PFA. Average ~10% reduction in RCA MLA with or without pre-existing CAD. I still use RF here for this concern but this is reassuring! Might make me reconsider #EPeeps

Bipolar ablation for VT does not have to be on the septum… @veramasloo ablating between endo and epicardium. @HRS

Always wondered how to map VT by stimulation? Very nice example by @ivroca on s1s2s3. Sucessively shorter coupled stimuly that lead to slower conduction and uncover functional block. See how both the absolute and relative delay increase depending on substrate.

Happy to be invited to discuss the Proton late breakers with Dr. Lloyd and @KarimBenali42. It’s different to photons as it delivers right to the spot. Looking forward to more proton data.
