    Access to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains limited for many patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), despite evidence demonstrating safety under appropriate conditions. This call-to-action statement from the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) aims to describe persistent barriers to MRI access for patients with a CIED and to provide practical, actionable recommendations for improvement of clinical care. Developed by a multidisciplinary writing committee, this document addresses regulatory, operational, and institutional challenges; highlights findings from a recent HRS member survey on MRI access; and outlines the impact of evolving vendor-specific MRI exclusions.

    Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), which includes true left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) and left ventricular septal pacing (LVsP), has become increasingly popular as a pacing modality since its initial description in 2017.1 Observational data suggest improved outcomes compared to traditional right ventricular (RV) pacing.2 Moreover, large observational studies have demonstrated that LBBAP improves outcomes in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who have indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT),3 with signals indicating a greater magnitude of benefit when compared to traditional bi-ventricular CRT.

    Percutaneous catheter ablation in interventional cardiac electrophysiology has evolved over the past several decades. Technologic advances and evolving procedural strategies have improved procedural efficiencies, increased success rates, and lowered complication rates. These advances have increased the ability to treat more patients successfully; however, limitations to access have grown. Access challenges (exacerbated during the COVID-19 public health emergency) and economic pressures have driven a shift in practice trends to reduce hospitalization duration and optimize resource utilization.

    Implantation of cardiac pacemaker leads in the left bundle branch area (LBBA) has been increasingly adopted into clinical practice, driven by the goal of leveraging the natural conduction system to achieve physiologic cardiac pacing. Long-term management of pacemaker leads may require lead extraction to address infection or device malfunction, yet limited clinical data exists on extraction of LBBA leads chronically implanted deep within the interventricular septum.
