Cardiology # 41Jun 30, 2026with Dr. Jeff Southard, Dr. Stephanie Younes
Is it time to move beyond RV pacing and rethink the future of TAVR procedures with dedicated LV pacing strategies? In this episode of BackTable Cardiology, host Stephanie Younes talks with Dr. Jeff Southard, interventional cardiologist at UC Davis, about the evolution of left ventricular (LV) pacing and its impact on TAVR workflow. They discuss the limitations of earlier off-the-shelf LV pacing methods, the reasons for relying on RV pacing in the past, and how a shift to dedicated LV pacing wires is changing daily practice for both balloon-expandable and self-expanding valves.
