Long-term Prognosis of Left Ventricular Lead
Transvenous left ventricular (LV) lead implantation is on the increase due to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). However, there has been paucity of data on the prognosis of LV lead. Consecutive 32 patients with LV lead for CRT (n=22) or pacemaker (n=10) were subjected. Serial changes in pacing threshold and impedance along with lead-related complications were evaluated. Over 2 yr follow-u...
متن کاملLong term outcome of patients with postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
BACKGROUND It is debatable whether surgical repair is routinely indicated in asymptomatic patients with left ventricular pseudoaneurysms. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long term outcome of patients with pseudoaneurysm after myocardial infarction, focusing on those treated conservatively. METHODS 10 patients with postinfarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm were followed up over a mean (SD) pe...
متن کاملLong-Term Management of Pulsatile Extracorporeal Left Ventricular Assist Device
Heart transplantation provides considerable survival benefits for patients with end-stage heart failure, but it is available for only a small fraction of such patients all over the world due to donor shortage. Therefore, many heart transplant candidates require long-term support by a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) while they await transplantation. However, the long-term LVAD support can ...
متن کاملLong-term mechanical support for complex left ventricular postinfarct pseudoaneurysms.
Left ventricular free wall rupture can be a catastrophic problem. Although small lacerations can be managed with various techniques of primary closure, larger and more complex defects can be difficult to treat. We present and discuss 2 cases of chronic, complex ventricular pseudoaneurysms managed successfully with long-term mechanical support.
متن کاملImaging Relative Merits of Left Ventricular Dyssynchrony, Left Ventricular Lead Position, and Myocardial Scar to Predict Long-Term Survival of Ischemic Heart Failure Patients Undergoing Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Background—The relative merits of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony, LV lead position, and myocardial scar to predict long-term outcome after cardiac resynchronization therapy remain unknown and were evaluated in the present study. Methods and Results—In 397 ischemic heart failure patients, 2-dimensional speckle tracking imaging was performed, with comprehensive assessment of LV radial dyssync...
