Surgical epicardial left ventricular lead versus coronary sinus lead placement in biventricular pacing.
OBJECTIVE Biventricular pacing has demonstrated improvement in cardiac function in treating congestive heart failure (CHF). Two different operative strategies (coronary sinus vs. epicardial stimulation) for left ventricular (LV) pacing were compared. METHODS Since April 1999, a total of 86 patients (pts, age: 63+/-10 years) with depressed systolic LV function (mean ejection fraction 24+/-9%),...
متن کاملSurgical placement of left ventricular lead for cardiac resynchronisation therapy after failure of percutaneous attempt
OBJECTIVE Cardiac resynchronisation therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment to improve functional status and prolong survival of patients in advanced chronic heart failure. This study assessed the surgical outcomes of left anterior mini-thoracotomy for the implantation of left ventricular epicardial pacing leads in cardiac resynchronisation therapy. METHODS Our study consisted of ...
متن کاملAortic perforation due to cardiac resynchronisation therapy defibrillator lead placement: Case report and medicolegal considerations
A 45-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy was admitted for the upgrade of a previously implanted pacemaker. Echocardiography showed intraventricular dyssynchrony and a low ejection fraction (0.35). Treatment with a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) was selected and the device was implanted. CRT-D interrogation revealed proper function. Following procedure termination...
متن کاملMinimal invasive epicardial lead implantation: optimizing cardiac resynchronization with a new mapping device for epicardial lead placement.
To optimize resynchronization in biventricular pacing with epicardial leads, mapping to determine the best pacing site, is a prerequisite. A port access surgical mapping technique was developed that allowed multiple pace site selection and reproducible lead evaluation and implantation. Pressure-volume loops analysis was used for real time guidance in targeting epicardial lead placement. Even th...
متن کاملBalloon Venoplasty of Subclavian Vein and Brachiocephalic Junction to Enable Left Ventricular Lead Placement for Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy
This report describes the successful implantation of a LV lead using balloon venoplasty to overcome a very tight stenosis of the right subclavian vein / brachiocephalic junction for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT-P) in a patient with a right sided CRT-P system and a failed epicardial LV lead. It is important for device implanters to be familiar with interventional equipments and techniq...
