Robotically assisted left ventricular epicardial lead implantation for biventricular pacing.
OBJECTIVES Ventricular resynchronization might be achieved in a minimally invasive fashion using a robotically assisted, direct left ventricular (LV) epicardial approach. BACKGROUND Approximately 10% of patients undergoing biventricular pacemaker insertion have a failure of coronary sinus (CS) cannulation. Rescue therapy for these patients currently is limited to standard open surgical techni...
متن کاملRobotic-Assisted Thoracoscopic Implantation of an Epimyocardial Lead for Biventricular Pacing
Biventricular pacing has been considered for the treatment of congestive heart failure secondary to dilatative cardiomyopathy and intraventricular conduction blocks [1]. In the majority of reported cases, the left ventricular lead is positioned via the coronary sinus (CS) [2]. However, the positioning of a CS lead is not always possible, due to anatomical conditions such as coronary sinus valve...

متن کاملSelection and optimisation of biventricular pacing: the role of echocardiography.
The quantification of ventricular dyssynchrony is a key factor in identifying patients with severe heart failure who may benefit from cardiac resynchronisation with biventricular pacing (BVP). Echocardiographic techniques appear to offer superior sensitivity and specificity than the ECG in selecting these patients. This paper reviews the scope of current echocardiographic techniques for guiding...
متن کاملSurgical 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%),...
