My second project aims to foster harmony between #Abbott and #Medtronic products (aka peace making bw Abbott and MDT 😀). This patient presents with moderate to severe TR, severe SND, and intermittent CHB. Initially, an Abbott BiV #pacemaker was implanted without an RV lead (only RA n CS lead to avoid worsening TR), but unfortunately, due to non-compliance with postoperative instructions, the CS lead was dislodged (RA lead remains functional). Anticipating potential future repeating same issue with a lone CS lead revision, a Medtronic #Micra AV was implanted. It is effectively cooperating with the Abbott pacemaker, now operating in AAIR. #arrhythmia #oxnard #camarillo #ventura #thousandoaks
Ali Sovari, MD,FACC,FHRS, would the 4798 (Attain Stability Quad) be a better CS lead to assist you in reducing CS lead dislodgement risk for this particular patient? Thoughts? It’s also intriguing to imagine your possibilities of optimizing your CRTP for effective CRT, while simultaneously optimizing your MAV with the atrial lead of your CRTP. Fascinating possibilities while reducing TR, as well! 👏
Great case to prove that direct communication of two devices (leadless or not) is not needed…
I enjoy your left-field combinations😁 Introducing case studies like this, allows going deep through the leadless pacemakers world. Keep up Doctor Sovari e Aziz🤓
From my prospective Medtronic and Abbot are first class players. We collaborated with Medtronic quite a bit they were fantastic to work with. Both companies share the common thread with physicians in that the PATIENT comes first.
Very interesting! Looking at your picture, it is clear Abbott is superior to Medtronic. Though Medtronic may claim they lay the foundation for this to work. Ha ha ha!
Good luck with the peace offering 😀… but definitely appreciate you working all angles to optimize patient positive outcomes!
Great case Ali Sovari, MD,FACC,FHRS! How is the AM-Vp with this configuration?
Which one operating in AAIR?
Interesting 🤔

5moGreat case…i am not sure…for future box changes a Medtronic crt P could be used and if rv pacing by the micra will be necessary the adaptive biv Algorithm could work too…just thinking…(„rv sensing and lv pacing“ due to the algorithm“) Medtronic what you think?
