Article Abstract
Since the introduction of left bundle branch pacing (LBBP), a search for precise parameters confirming successful capture of conduction system was conducted. Most of the proposed electrocardiographic criteria refer to patients with narrow QRS complexes. We present a patient with heart failure in whom cardiac resynchronization was achieved using conduction system pacing. While measuring left ventricular activation time, an isoelectric interval of 74 ms between stimulus and R-wave appeared resulting in prolongation of V6 RWPT to 124 ms. Considering the immediate narrowing of QRS complexes following LBBP, the observed latency most probably reflects prolonged conduction time through the His-Purkinje system.

Purpose: Pelvic ring fractures involving the iliopubic rami can cause functional impairment. Percutaneous retrograde fixation is a less invasive procedure when compared to traditional open approaches, however precise anatomical knowledge is crucial for safe screw placement. This study aims to describe the morphology of the iliopubic rami, define a safety corridor for percutaneous screw fixation, specially focusing on the relationships between the iliopubic rami and neurovascular structures.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of CT planning on surgical myectomy outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and/or mid-cavity obstruction, by comparing these outcomes with those of conventional surgical myectomy.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients who underwent surgical septal myectomy for HCM with LVOT and/or mid-cavity obstruction between January 2019 and May 2024 at a single tertiary center. In the CT-planned myectomy group, an expert radiologist simulated the target myectomy site through a series of post-processing methods to plan the surgical approach, provide a surgeon's view that closely resembles the actual perspective in the operating room, and present the target myectomy volume.
Language Functional Connectivity Alterations During Resting State in Brain Arteriovenous Malformation Patients.

Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Objectives: Unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) typically do not cause aphasia, even when the traditional language areas are affected by the nidus. We attempted to elucidate its language reorganization mechanism by analyzing the alterations in functional connectivity using functional connectivity (FC) and track-weighted static functional connectivity (TW-sFC) approaches.
Methods: This cross-sectional study prospectively enrolled patients with AVMs involving left-hemisphere language areas and healthy controls.
Dynamic changes of the S wave in lead V6: A novel visual indicator for left bundle branch capture.

Background: During the electrode screwing process in left bundle branch pacing (LBBP), the significance of the S wave in lead V6 remains elusive. Our study analyzes the change of the S wave in lead V6 under different patterns of capture and explores its mechanisms.
Methods: This study included 243 cases with criterion of selective LBBP (SLBBP), we performed continuous pacing technique and classified the electrophysiological characteristics observed during the screwing process into four patterns: left ventricular septal pacing (LVSP), non-selective LBBP (NSLBBP) in low output and in the lower output, selective LBBP.
