A permanent transvenous lead system for an implantable pacemaker cardioverter-defibrillator. Nonthoracotomy approach to implantation.
A transvenous lead system for implantable defibrillators would obviate a surgical thoracotomy and reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with implantation. We evaluated the clinical performance of a new nonthoracotomy lead system that included a defibrillation lead in the coronary sinus. At the time of defibrillator implantation, transvenous defibrillation leads were inserted percutaneou...
متن کاملCoronary sinus dissection during left ventricular pacing electrode implantation.
Coronary sinus (CS) dissection during biventricular pacing electrode implantation is a complication that rarely develops. A 71-year-old female with recurrent ventricular tachycardia, heart decompensation, and poor left ventricular function because of dilated cardiomyopathy was admitted for the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator for biventricular pacing. During the operation, we experi...
متن کاملPercutaneous transvenous mitral annuloplasty: initial human experience with device implantation in the coronary sinus.
BACKGROUND Mitral annuloplasty is the most common surgical procedure performed for ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR). Surgical mitral annuloplasty is limited by morbidity, mortality, and MR recurrence. We evaluated the safety and feasibility of a transvenous catheter-delivered implantable device to provide a percutaneous alternative to surgical mitral annuloplasty. METHODS AND RESULTS Five p...
متن کاملTransvenous defibrillation in humans via the coronary sinus.
A consistently effective transvenous defibrillation system for use in automatic defibrillators could significantly alter the approach to patients at risk of sudden death. Transvenous defibrillation systems that use a right ventricular (RV) electrode only or an RV electrode in combination with a chest patch are relatively inefficient at applying current to the posterolateral left ventricle. An R...
متن کاملSuccessful Implantation of Transvenous Pacing System via Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava and Coronary Sinus in Small Children
Transvenous pacemaker implantation tends to be difficult in the setting of a persistent left superior vena cava (SVC) and an absent or inaccessible right SVC. We report two small children in whom transvenous pacing leads were successfully inserted via a persistent left SVC. This technique was safe in our cases; however, favorable long-term result has yet to be demonstrated.
