đź”´ Are you tuned in? The final live case of RIO Global 2026 is underway.

In Live Case & Discussion | VT Mapping and Ablation in Clinical Practice, Roderick Tung and EP fellow Felix Nguyen introduce a challenging case of recurrent VT in a patient with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy following a previous ablation.

With an anticipated septal substrate, the team sets the scene for a complex case exploring contemporary VT mapping and ablation in clinical practice.

Joining the case are Chair Julian Chun and panellists Devi Nair, Ammar Killu, Andrea Sarkozy, Jason Andrade and Wendy Tzou.

What is the future of sedation in EP?

Watch Roland Tilz discuss his approach to sedation at University Heart Centre LĂĽbeck, including propofol sedation for procedures requiring TOE and awake protocols for selected ablation cases.

Roland also shares how the team considers patient experience during awake procedures, from adapting sedation to providing entertainment during the case.

Chair Devi Nair is joined by panellists Claudio Tondo, Ivo Roca-Luque, Boris Schmidt and Sri Sundaram for the discussion.

How should we prepare the next generation of electrophysiologists for the future of EP?

At RIO Global 2026, Vera Maslova looks beyond traditional EP training to explore the value of closer collaboration with engineering and other disciplines.

Using the TWIN-VT study and patient-specific cardiac digital twins as an example, Vera explores what becomes possible when engineering expertise and clinical practice come together, and why interdisciplinary learning may need to start during fellowship.

The discussion is chaired by Richard Schilling, alongside panellists Vera Maslova, Ajay Sharma and Antonio Creta.

Successful Pulsed Field Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation performed by Dr Sing-Chien Yap using the VARIPULSE Pro platform.

This RIO Global 2026 live case demonstrated procedural steps, mapping strategies, variable loop sizes, and pulmonary vein anatomy. Essential for electrophysiologists and cardiology professionals seeking to enhance patient outcomes in AF ablation.

Devi Nair takes us inside the anatomy during this RIO Global 2026 live case, using ICE-integrated mapping to demonstrate the atrial floor, roof, ridge and right superior pulmonary vein in real time.

With Richard Schilling chairing the discussion alongside David DeLurgio, Julian Chun, Frank Cuoco, Andrea Sarkozy, Jason Andrade and Vivek Reddy, the case puts ICE-integrated mapping into the context of a live zero-fluoro workflow.

During this live PFA case, Sing-Chien Yap demonstrates how he adjusts catheter and sheath position to optimise electrode contact and address overlap during pulmonary vein treatment.

Devi Nair, Tobias Reichlin, Johan Vijgen and Luigi Di Biase join the discussion, sharing practical perspectives on positioning and how they approach challenging vein anatomy.

Live Case – Efficient and Durable PVI Under Conscious Sedation: Balloon-in-Basket PFA

Watch Lucas Boersma (St Antonius Hospital, Nieuwegein, Netherlands) demonstrate balloon-in-basket PFA for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) under conscious sedation.

After this case, Chair Richard Schilling and panellists A***n Sultan, Livio Bertagnolli, Peter Karl Jacobsen and Devi Nair discuss approaches to assessing balloon positioning and carina coverage, including the use of fluoroscopy, transoesophageal echocardiography and mapping.

The faculty also share their perspectives on antral coverage during PVI, exploring how different imaging and mapping approaches can help assess potential gaps during the procedure.

Live Case & Discussion | Navigating Complex VT: An All-in-One Mapping and Ablation Case with Sphere-9

In this RIO Global 2026 live case, Reza Wakili demonstrates the team’s approach to mapping and substrate assessment during a complex VT procedure at University Hospital Frankfurt.

The team begins by acquiring the ventricular map before progressing to pacing manoeuvres, building a clearer picture of the ventricle in the absence of a 12-lead ECG of the clinical VT.

As mapping progresses, a large posterior scar is identified, alongside further scar on the anterior wall. Reza discusses whether these areas represent the VT substrate and how the findings will inform the next stages of the case.

The case provides practical insight into a mapping-led workflow for evaluating a potentially complex VT substrate before progressing with ablation.

Joining the discussion is Chair Richard Schilling, alongside panellists Verena Tscholl, A***n Sultan, Helmut PĂĽrerfellner, Andrea Sarkozy and Roderick Tung.

Live Case – AF Ablation with FARAVIEW and CTI with FARAPOINT

Watch Julian Chun and Andrea Urbani (CCB Markus Krankenhaus, Frankfurt, Germany) demonstrate their approach to atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using FARAVIEW™ for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), followed by FARAPOINT™ for cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation.

This case highlights workflow considerations, real-time electrogram changes and the "OLIVE concept" during lesion delivery, with immediate signal elimination observed during ablation.

In this live case, Abdul Parwani demonstrates his approach to transseptal puncture during balloon-in-basket PVI.

Rather than introducing an additional sheath for transseptal access, the team performs the puncture directly through the Agilis sheath, a technique Abdul describes as feasible within their workflow.

Using biplane angiography, the team visualises the anatomy in right and left oblique views before performing the transseptal puncture and using contrast to confirm entry into the left atrium.

The case provides practical insight into a streamlined approach to left atrial access before progressing to balloon-in-basket PVI.
