Impacted left ventricular lead technique in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Left ventricular (LV) lead dislodgement is a significant problem in cardiac resynchronization therapy and re-operation is required to rectify the situation. In this case report, we describe a new technique to stabilize an LV lead which is prone to dislodgement by impacting an inactive LV lead in the same cardiac vein.

An Overview of Current Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.
UNLABELLED Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is currently an established device therapy for heart failure (HF) patients. Existing knowledge of implantation techniques, advances in device-based technologies and clinical trial experience have all significantly impacted this evolving therapy in recent years. This review article will address the updated CRT guidelines, and potentially new ind...
متن کامل[Three-dimensional imaging in cardiac resynchronization therapy].
Cardiac resynchronization therapy improves clinical symptoms and prognosis of heart failure patients. However, it has been shown that up to 40% of patients do not respond to this therapy. Three main determinants of cardiac resynchronization therapy response have been identified: left ventricular dyssynchrony, left ventricular lead position, and extent and location of myocardial scar tissue. Two...

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...
