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 کاملMinimally invasive epicardial left ventricular lead placement in a case of massive pleural adhesion
BACKGROUND In cases of intravenous placement failure of the left ventricular (LV) lead for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) and obliteration of the left pleural space, the alternative approach of transthoracic placement by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is difficult and not commonly practiced. METHODS Here, we present a simple technique for transthoracic introduction of an...
متن کاملLeft ventricular lead placement in the latest activated region guided by coronary venous electroanatomic mapping.
AIM Left ventricular (LV) lead placement in the latest activated region is an important determinant of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We investigated the feasibility of coronary venous electroanatomic mapping (EAM) to guide LV lead placement to the latest activated region. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-five consecutive CRT candidates with left bundle-branch block underwent ...
متن کاملA rare case of epicardial left ventricular sutureless screw-in lead placement causing left anterior descending artery stenosis
Implantation of an epicardial left ventricular (LV) lead is a reasonable alternative to a transvenous coronary sinus lead in the case of inadequate coronary sinus anatomy, and is generally considered safe and effective. We report the case of a patient who received an epicardial LV sutureless screwin lead presenting several months later with a myocardial infarction owing to injury to the left an...
متن کاملcharacterization of suitability of coronary venous anatomy for targeting left ventricular lead placement in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy
background: differences in the quantity and distribution of coronary veins between patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy might affect the potential for the left ventricular (lv) lead targeting in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt). in the current study, we assessed and compared the suitability of the coronary venous system for the lv lead placement in i...
