First case in Northeast with Tactiflex DUO and what a great case it turned out - epicardial LV summit pvc mapped earliest with EP star epicardially , successfully ablated endocardial with stacked PFA despite being barely on time endocardial.

How cool is this?!
First-ever Over-the-Air (OTA) software update — Installed within 1 hour of regulatory approval! No downtime, no delays — just seamless upgrades. Kudos @AbbottCardio for always improvising .
First Ensite 3.1.1 with Contact Index assessment— Precision with the Farawave catheter + ICE = efficacy and safety alongside efficiency #EPeeps

Gotta love LLAP ablation #EPeeps! Had to burn in tach (incessant). 1 burn for prob retro block and SVT termination. Another to finish off the delta wave. Cool case. Excellent mapping as usual thx to @maddyferraro1 @AudreyFerraro25 @arcampado

Monday started with First-in-Human Use of “ViewFlex X SE” ICE Catheter with @AbbottCardio
I've always loved using the ViewFlex ICE for its exceptional image quality, but now with seamless ICE integration into Ensite X, this is a total game-changer that enhances precision like never before.
Some features that stood out to me
🔹 ICE Integration with Grid and FAM Mapping - Real-time visualization that aligns perfectly with 3D GridX and FAM maps. This precision ensures more efficient targeting of critical anatomy, improving procedural accuracy.
🔹 Smooth Transition to the Left Atrium
Despite its softer shaft, the ViewFlex X SE provided excellent maneuverability and control, allowing smooth navigation to the left atrium while maintaining consistent imaging quality.
🔹 Maintaining Outstanding Image Quality
For those of us who’ve always trusted the ViewFlex ICE platform for its superior imaging, this new catheter doesn’t disappoint—it adds seamless integration without compromising clarity.

Intramural LV summit PVC. Technically bracketed in GCV/AIV junction but impedance too high. No clear septal branches despite veno/terumo/EP star. Suppressed-->recurred. What next? HNS? Bipolar? EtOH? Stereotaxis? Any other options?

As we get rid of summit PVCs, patient’s starts throwing PACs ( or so I thought ). Put in a CS catheter - PVCs!!! Would be a perfect LBBAP morphology. Mapped it right on the anterior fascicle in a patient with L anterior fascicular block at baseline !

It was a great privilege to do the 1st global procedure with the new @AbbottCardio Advisor #HDGridX catheter with @DrMatthewHyman at @pennmedicine. The added sensors & v3.1 software enabled faster, accurate modeling & provided a great efficiency enhancement to Ensite VoXel Mode.
Excited to partner with @AbbottCardio for the global launch of the Advisor #HDGridX catheter! De novo MA AFL. The new sensors & software enabled faster mapping & identification of lateral conduction block creating a critical isthmus. Maps by @AndreaEP65 #EPeeps @pennmedicine

The first case with our Advisor™ #HDGridX Mapping Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ & EnSite™ Connected Care was completed today by @DrMatthewHyman! See how our tech helped guide the approach on this atypical flutter case.⬇️

What do you think ? Incidental finding on ICE imaging during posteromedial pap muscle PVC ablation for 60yo healthy female. No history of Afib . Doesn’t appear to be typical myxoma either. CMR pending.

Big day for our Electrophysiology program as we perform our first Epicardial VT ablation using CO2 , making epicardial access much safer for our patients.

Petal falling into the vein , leading to distortion due to higher impedance
Audrey Stefanou retweeted
Excellent rendering software by Abbott helping visualize the farawave catheter, significantly reducing fluoroscopy requirement for PFA using farapulse.
Also note, the spline / petal deformity when it falls in the vein due to higher impedance.

Thank you @AatishGarg_EP for a great day! Nothing like 3 quick first pass isolation PVIs with #TactiFlex to kick things off!

Great case where entire VT cycle length could be seen on a single grid pole. Non ischemic substrate. Another example where ILAM map perfectly matched VT isthmus site ( @DrRoderickTung style!)

Incessant AT from lateral RA cured within 1-2s. @AbbottNews near field mapping algorithm cleaner than 1st deflection. Also note P wave morph: +II / -III / "W"ish in V1... NOT paraHis/CSP location (lead 1 is the obvious giveaway). Thx @maddyferraro1 @AudreyFerraro25

Truly remarkable remote case support at HRS by Dr. Bernard, @Skhatib55, and our Abbott Remote Specialist team.
Really powerful demonstration of how #EnSiteConnect & @medinbox can transform the reach of EP.

The EP stars aligned for this VT! Clean endo breakout and a 96% pace match. Taking it one step further, our *new* peak frequency emphasis map can help narrow down where to target. After RF, none of the 4 VTs we had seen made a reappearance! #OnlyWithOT #EnSiteX #HDGrid #NearField
