33 year old driver from Tripura treated with Eastern India's first-ever Bachmann's Bundle Pacing
PRNewswire Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 27: In a landmark achievement that puts Eastern India on the global map of cardiac innovation, Dr. Dilip Kumar,Director of the Cath Lab, Senior Interventional Cardiologist, Device, and Structural Heart Expert at Manipal EM Bypass (erstwhile Medica Superspecialty Hospital), has successfully performed Eastern India's first-ever case of Bachmann's Bundle (BB) Pacing and Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP), a dual strategy that mimics the heart's natural electrical rhythm. This process is known as complete physiological pacing. This pioneering heart rhythm management was applied to a 33-year-old male patient, Ravi (name changed), a car driver by profession from Tripura, Agartala. Ravi was suffering from sick sinus syndrome and intermittent atrioventricular (AV)block (a type of heart block where the electrical signals between the heart's upper chambers (atria) and lower chambers (ventricles) are intermittently delayed or blocked), compounded by episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (where episodes of an irregular heartbeat come and go). A condition where the patient's heart rate had dangerously dropped to 25 beats per minute, leaving him dizzy, breathless, and vulnerable to permanent arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), which could have turned fatal for Ravi. Recognizing the need for a cutting-edge, long-term solution, Dr. Dilip Kumar and his team opted for a revolutionary combination of Bachmann's Bundle (BB) Pacing and Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP), a dual strategy that mimics the heart's natural electrical rhythm. This whole approach, known as complete physiological pacing, is designed to preserve the heart's normal contraction patterns and prevent complications associated with conventional pacemakers, such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation (a heart condition where the heart's upper chambers (atria) beat irregularly and rapidly), as well as pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (a condition where the heart muscle weakens and its ability to pump blood effectively is reduced, specifically as a result of prolonged right ventricular (RV) pacing from a pacemaker). The whole procedure was performed in the cardiac cath lab using the specialized C315S5 catheter. While describing the case, Dr. Dilip Kumar, Senior Interventional Cardiologist Device and Structural Heart Expert at Manipal EM Bypass (erstwhile Medica Superspecialty Hospital), shared, "We are proud to be at the forefront of next-generation cardiac care. While we have successfully performed nearly 200 Conduction System Pacing (CSP) procedures over the past few years, this first case of complete physiological pacing marks a transformative step in our journey. It not only offers a more natural and safer solution for young patients with complex rhythm disorders but also sets the stage for broader adoption of physiological pacing across India. With this, we are ushering in a new era of smarter, more synchronized heart care that truly aligns with the future of cardiology." Ravi (name changed), a 33-year-old male patient from Agartala, said, "I am a car driver by profession, and for a long time, I was struggling with breathlessness and other health issues that made it difficult for me to work and live normally. It was a very tense and worrying time for me. But just a day after the surgery, I felt a big difference; I am now walking around and living a normal life again. I am truly thankful to Dr. Dilip Kumar and his entire team. I am also fully satisfied with the care, attention, and support provided by the nurses and other staff members throughout my stay." Dr. Ayanabh Debgupta, Regional COO, Manipal Hospitals (East), opined, "This groundbreaking procedure is a testament to the clinical excellence and innovation-driven approach that defines brand Manipal Hospitals. The successful execution of Eastern India's first complete physiological pacing reflects our strong commitment to bringing the most advanced cardiac care to this region."

Don't Worry Bar at Le Sirenuse Is What Summer Dreams Are Made Of—See Inside
The summer is off to a fabulous start at Le Sirenuse. With 20 custom paintings by artist Caroline Bachmann and a Japanese-inspired listening bar, the iconic Positano hotel is a must-stay if you are going to be in Italy this season. Antonio Sersale, co-owner of the property, and his son Aldo Sersale, the general manager, have transformed the Don't Worry Bar space, the always chic lounge, into an exclusive enclave within the Sersale family's legendary hotel. Both father and son are obsessed with executing the finest details, and none were spared here. They each found inspiration in their personal travels over the past few years. While Antonio tapped Bachmann for the 12th installment of his Artists at Le Sirenuse Program, Aldo worked with Stefano Menicagli, the famed audio consultant, to recreate an authentic Japanese listening bar experience. Antonio initially discovered Bachmann's work at a Zurich exhibition in 2023, and Aldo was by the listening bars he stumbled upon while on vacation in Tokyo. Upon entering the space, you are enveloped in the lush sounds of music on vinyl, thanks to a highly curated soundtrack across the decades, from the '60s to the '80s as well as some of the best Italian pop classics mixed in courtesy of iconic Italian DJ Paolo Sciabu. Complementing the experience is a menu filled with a variety of specialty cocktails, handcrafted by in-house Director of Mixology, Alessio Lupo. Bachmann's series of paintings, titled Le Sirenuse I–XX, 2025, was created specifically for the room and beautifully encompass the space. They chart twenty moments in the course of one day and night and 'are to be read in a direction of an infinitely rotating clock,' according to the artist. These seascape paintings are based on an imaginary 24-hour view of the Li Galli Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, which you can spot from the gorgeous terrace of the hotel. Fret not—if you don't have the opportunity to visit Le Sirenuse this summer, you can always shop directly on the site for a curated selection of ready-to-wear and home goods.
