چکیده

Effective cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) requires an accurate atrio-biventricular pacing system. The innovative Quartet lead is a quadripolar, over-the-wire left ventricular lead with four electrodes and has recently been designed to provide more options and greater control in pacing vector selection. A lead with multiple pacing electrodes is a potential alternative to physical adjustment of the lead and may help to overcome high thresholds and phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS).

Use of a quadripolar left ventricular lead to achieve successful implantation in patients with previous failed attempts at cardiac resynchronization therapy

AIMS Problems with implanting a left ventricular (LV) lead during cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) procedures are not uncommon and may occur for a variety of reasons including phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS) and high capture thresholds. We aimed to perform successful CRT in patients with previous LV lead problems using the multiple pacing configurations available with the St Jude Quartet...

Quadripolar Leads in Cardiac€Resynchronization Therapy

Ma Despite the benefit of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with heart failure and conduction delay, a considerable number of patients do not respond substantially. Left ventricular lead position is an important factor in response, restricted by the patient’s specific anatomy and local pathophysiology. Quadripolar leads could enhance response to CRT, offering 4 pacing location...

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Delivered Via a Multipolar Left Ventricular Lead is Associated with Reduced Mortality and Elimination of Phrenic Nerve Stimulation: Long‐Term Follow‐Up from a Multicenter Registry

INTRODUCTION Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using quadripolar left ventricular (LV) leads provides more pacing vectors compared to bipolar leads. This may avoid phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS) and allow optimal lead placement to maximize biventricular pacing. However, a long-term improvement in patient outcome has yet to be demonstrated. METHODS A total of 721 consecutive patients wi...

Diaphragmatic stimulation caused by cardiac resynchronization treatment.

A 69-year-old man with a history of severe nonischemic cardiomyopathy managed with a cardiac resynchronization-defibrillator presented to the outpatient clinic with uncomfortable pulsation over the left upper-abdominal area when lying on his left side. He was hemodynamically stable. When he was recumbent in a left-lateral position, there were visible and palpable contractions of the left upper-...

Vector Selection of a Quadripolar Left Ventricular Pacing Lead Affects Acute Hemodynamic Response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: A Randomized Cross-Over Trial

BACKGROUND A suboptimal left ventricular (LV) pacing site may account for non-responsiveness of patients to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The vector selection of a novel quadripolar LV pacing lead, which was mainly developed to overcome technical issues with stimulation thresholds and phrenic nerve capture, may affect hemodynamic response, and was therefore assessed in this study. (G...
