Coronary sinus pacing clinical follow-up.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coronary sinus pacing is a safe and effective means of pacing from the atrium. In 66 patients with an average follow-up of 14 months, there was a 14% failure rate. There were transient problems in 14% which were subsequently corrected. There was a 6% death rate which was not pacemaker related. Successful atrial pacing with thresholds up to 6.0 mA is feasible. Atrial pacing was successful in 18 of 19 patients with varying degrees of atrioventricular block. Our experience with a new electrode has been very satisfactory.

Major dissection of the coronary sinus and its tributaries during lead implantation for biventricular stimulation: angiographic follow-up.
Dissection of the coronary sinus during lead implantation for biventricular pacemaker implantation in patients with advanced heart failure is a serious complication that has occasionally been reported. We report on the clinical outcome and angiographic follow-up in a series of 7 patients with acute major dissection from 103 consecutive attempts (incidence 6.8%). Serial echocardiography was perf...
متن کاملRight versus left atrial pacing in patients with sick sinus syndrome and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (Riverleft study): study protocol for randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND The incidence of sick sinus syndrome will increase due to population ageing. Consequently, this will result in an increase in the number of pacemaker implantations. The atrial lead is usually implanted in the right atrial appendage, but this position may be ineffective for prevention of atrial fibrillation. It has been suggested that pacing distally in the coronary sinus might be mor...

متن کاملDevelopment of a technique for left ventricular endocardial pacing via puncture of the interventricular septum.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) pacing through the coronary sinus is the standard approach for cardiac resynchronization therapy. When this route is unavailable, the alternatives have major limitations. LV endocardial pacing through the interventriuclar septum may offer a simpler solution. We describe an initial case series to demonstrate technical feasibility and to describe our refinement of...
متن کاملTransvenous dual‐chamber pacemaker after paediatric heart transplantation using left ventricle pacing through the coronary sinus
A 12-year-old child with end-stage heart failure due to restrictive cardiomyopathy was submitted to orthotopic heart transplantation. Primary graft dysfunction required venous arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. Heart function normalized, but complete atrioventricular block remained after 3 weeks. A dual-chamber pacing with transvenous left ventricle pacing through the coronary sinus...
