“Are CRT upgrade procedures more complex and associated with more complications than de novo CRT implantations?” A single centre experience
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to examine whether cardiac resynchronisation therapy upgrade procedures are more complex and associated with more complications than de novo implantations. METHOD We retrospectively compared 134 upgrade procedures performed between 2006-2012 with a random, equally sized, sample of de novo CRT device implantations in the same period. Procedural data and...
متن کاملAdvanced Techniques for CRT Implantations
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an important breakthrough for the drug-refractory heart failure patients with reduced left ventrical ejection fraction (LVEF: <35%) and wide QRS (>120 ms). The primary objecive of CRT is the coordination of the myocardial contraction with a right atrial (RA), right ventrical (RV) and a left ventrical (LV) lead and a biventricular device. The standard a...
متن کاملEffects of Upgrade Versus De Novo Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on Clinical Response and Long-Term Survival: Results from a Multicenter Study.
BACKGROUND Benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on morbidity and mortality in selected patients are well known. Although the number of upgrade procedures from single- or dual-chamber devices to CRT is increasing, there are only sparse data on the outcomes of upgrade procedures compared with de novo CRT. This study aimed to evaluate clinical response and survival in patients recei...
متن کاملOptimizing CRT - Do We Need More Leads and Delivery Methods.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapeutic option in symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and evidence of left ventricular (LV) conduction delay (QRS width ≥120 ms), especially when typical left bundle branch block is present. The rationale behind CRT is restoration of aberrant LV electrical activation. As there is considerable heterogeneity of the...
متن کاملDoes Biosynthetic Silver Nanoparticles Are More Stable With Lower Toxicity than Their Synthetic Counterparts?
Control of size and shape is a challenge in nanoparticle synthesis. Synthetic and biosynthetic (both extracellular and intracellular) methods are used to prepare silver nanoparticle (SNP). In this study, the behavior of three strains of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was investigated in the presence of silver nitrate intra- and extracellularly. S. aureus strains biosynthesized SNPs intracell...
