Cardiac tamponade occurred in 2 left vats lv epicardial lead placement patients (5.7%), and the procedure was aborted in both of them. Overall, CS lead placement failed in 13 patients (37%) but 9 (25.7%) underwent subsequent CRT with CS lead placement (n=6, 17.1%; median 58 days later) or epicardial leads (n=3, 8.6%).

Targeted left ventricular endocardial pacing using a ...

onary venous sinus for access to the LV epicardial surface or to place an epicardial pacing lead using a direct surgical approach.2,3 We report an experience of LV endocardial pacing using a steer-able guide catheter for directional lead placement with an active ﬁxation lead placed on the LV endocardial surface, at a location expected to ...

Outcome of video-assisted thoracoscopic implantation of ...

Depending on the complexity of the coronary vein anatomy, left vats lv epicardial lead placement endovascular LV lead placement can be challenging and time-consuming. In the thoracoscopic approach, LV lead placement is almost independent of the coronary vein system anatomy, which can lead to shorter operation times and therefore might have an impact on lower infection rates [19, 20].

Finally, for the RV lead location in the upper septum, the optimal placement of the LV pacing lead in the epicardium was in the LV mid lateral wall, while the optimal placement of the LV lead in the endocardium was the apex of the LV lateral wall (Figures 6C,F, respectively).

Horizon Scanning Technology Prioritising Summary ...

assisted approach for epicardial left ventricular (LV) lead placement and may offer an alternative to LV lead placement by means of a limited thoracotomy. Operations are performed under general anae sthetic with selective right lung ventilation. Robotic technology allows placement of the lead onto the posterobasal wall of the LV surface

Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy – An Approach to ...

These include minimally invasive surgical alternatives (minithoracotomy, videoassisted thoracoscopic surgery and robotically assisted placement of LV leads), minimally invasive subxiphoid epicardial approach, transseptal endocardial left ventricular lead implantation and bifocal right ventricular pacing. 13–18 In a prospective study 19 ...

Left ventricular lead placement in cardiac ...

In this review, we discuss the effect of LV lead placement to pace the region of maximal dyssynchrony, the impact of total scar burden on response, and the relationship between LV lead position and localized scar. Con-sideration is also given to prospectively deﬁning placement of the LV lead including surgical epicardial lead positioning.

LV epicardial lead placement at time of cardiac surgery: useful for some— but not all Tom Kai Ming Wang, Andrew Martin, Khang-Li Looi, Nigel Lever C ardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is a proven device-based adjunc-tive treatment left vats lv epicardial lead placement for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction to reduce mortality and morbidity.1–4 When patients undergo

Localization of Left Ventricular Lead Electrodes in ...

We found the LV lead to be actually located in a scar area in 14% of cases, according to previous studies. 10 LV pacing within scar zones has been shown to be associated with acute cardiac dysfunction 12 and absence of response to CRT. 10 The choice of the LV lead implantation site is known to be a key parameter in CRT patients, with a delicate ...
