Left bundle-branch pacing incidence vs right ventricular pacing shows lower composite of death, hospitalization for heart failure or pacing-induced cardiomyopathy. Results presented at Scientific Sessions 26 from the OptimPacing trial.
Key points
Lower incidence of death, heart-failure hospitalization, or pacing-induced cardiomyopathy with left bundle-branch pacing compared to right ventricular pacing.
Presented at Scientific Sessions 26; full OptimPacing trial results linked.

Snake-like robot navigates pig intestine with soft actuators
Snake-like robot uses deformable soft pneumatic actuators and Kirigami sleeves to autonomously navigate the pig small intestine. It carries a cache of endoscopic tools to perform mock procedures.
Key points
Deformable soft pneumatic actuators enable navigation.
Kirigami sleeves are integrated for movement.

RACE-CARS trial shows no benefit for expanded CPR strategy
RACE-CARS trial presented at Scientific Sessions 26 found that dispatcher training, CPR training, and expanded defibrillator use did not improve survival to discharge with good neurologic outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. The result was shared via a link to the full trial data.
Key points
Strategy of dispatcher training, CPR training, and expanded defibrillator use did not provide a benefit over usual care for survival to discharge with a good neurologic outcome.
Results were presented at Scientific Sessions 26.
