@DrGeorgeShaw Very exciting! Can’t wait to get started at our center as well #centrahealth

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

@YGandye @Salome59131093 Great work! So proud of your progress! You are proving that the Madaktari mission of training rather than just doing is really working!! I am very proud to be part of your team

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

@YGandye @Salome59131093 Incredible week of cases as Madaktari Africa team of David Singh and Dr Nitish Badwar did an amazing group of cases including the first cases of Conduction system pacing in sub Saharan Africa, multiple complex PVC and WPW cases,pacers ICDs. @YGandye @drdavidsingh , @madaktari

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

@YGandye @Jakaya @Salome59131093 Always looking for new EPs to join Madaktari Africa on dedicated EP support camps. Great work by @YGandye with @DavidSinghMD and his team

[Yona Gandye @YGandye]

Ep cases @Jakaya kikwete cardiac insititute. Given the complexity of the Ep field and manpower scarce, in aggregate, we target at least 50% (50% assistence) of cases done annually by local team starting on July 2025. Alot of support needed in similar manner Madactari Africa does

Great week of cases at JKCI in Tanzania w ⁦@YGandye⁩. First zero flouro cases in subsaharan Africa. Great mapping by Stu Catto. #madaktari

Persistent Atrial Fibrillation With Successful #Convergent Ablation

@Drmattsackett and colleagues present a case of persistent #AFib and the successful restoration of sinus rhythm with convergent ablation. Read the case study from our April issue here: https://t.co/A66OiWIwek

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

Incredible working with the great people of JKCI. @YGandye is bringing treatment of heart rhythm disorders to the forefront in Tanzania!

[Yona Gandye @YGandye]

Working together with madactari africa to treat clients at Jakaya kikwete cardiac institute (JKCI) . 6 patients had heart rhythm disorder cured 100%. 2 clients implanted high power device, 6 received pacemaker implant and 2 replaced new devices. What a successs!

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

Great week of cases at J Kikwete Cardiac institute in Tanzania with ⁦@YGandye⁩ and my Madaktari Africa team from #Madaktari

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

@purerfellner Nicely done study. Can you share any more detail about what additional areas were ablate in the substrate modification group? Percentage of posterior wall vs anterior wall etc?

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

@EduFrancoDiez @pjsm83 @Arritmias_HRC @cris_lozano What defines type II vs type I biatrial flutter? If I do an anterior mitral line because of anterior scar I always ensure that Bachman bundle connections are eliminated so as to pre this development. But requires much more extensive anterior ablation

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

@PrashSanders @ALFIEEP1 @peterkistler3 @drluissaenz Was there a restudy to see if PWI was durable? Did it fail to improve bc of recurrent PW conduction which is not uncommon even with exit block w high output pacing?

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

LA flutter around LSPV using ridge and carina gone in 3 seconds. Initial ablation 2005 w 50W, 8mm tip,ostial segmental isolation. Incredible technology upgrades in 17 yrs. Excellent mapping by Cam Bennett #afib,#carto #centrahealth

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

@GVenkataramanEP Real for sure. But not an indication for a pacemaker. Had recent bc similar case. Sleep study showed severe OSA and “syncope” resolved with CPAP. This finding suggests OSA but doesn’t necessarily correlate with conduction system disease or need for pacing

[Madaktari Africa @madaktari]

We returned to the to JKCI in Tanzania this month! Pictured here are the Madaktari & JKCI team members from the trip. Thank you everyone that contributed their time, talent, and treasure towards our return to Tanzania after an almost two-year hiatus due to the pandemic!

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

@pjsm83 @MiguelVldrbno @PhilippKrisai @FYang_EP @BrettGidney @FrischMd @bisbal_EP @MoisesManero Similar case recently. Injected directly the sheath without a balloon. Just ensured as good occlusion as I could obtain with the sheath. Worked perfectly. Isthmus blocked

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

@MattMelcherPA @AbbottCardio Would always do posterior line when there is no anterior scar

[Matt Sackett @Drmattsackett]

@mcfinlay @ALFIEEP1 Agree that I like ability to control rate to improve catheter stability. Similar to controlling respirate and TV. Better stability equals better lesions. And still utility in testing for AT/afl. Am I the only one still looking beyond PVI on first ablation?

@DanielPMorin @OchsnerEP @OchsnerCardio @OchsnerEdu @BSCCardiology What kind of thresholds are you getting? Any different than with the 3830 system?
