Cardiac resynchronization therapy: Femoral approach

Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2017
We describe the case of a 62-year-old female patient with bilateral subclavian vein occlusion, in whom a cardiac resynchronization system was implanted via a femoral vein.

Impact of ICD Presence in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices for End‐Stage Heart Failure

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The prognostic relevance of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in patients with end‐stage heart failure (HF) with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) remains controversial. Objectives To evaluate the prognostic impact of ongoing use of ICD and associated complications in HF‐patients with LVAD‐implantation.

Inpatient Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy During Heart Failure Hospitalization: A Distinct High‐Risk Phenotype

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The role of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) during hospitalization for heart failure (HFH) is uncertain, because hospitalized patients were routinely excluded from landmark CRT trials. Despite this, CRT implantation during HFH is common.

Ventricular Synchrony in Targeted Right Ventricular Septal Pacing: A Prospective Paired Comparison to Apical Placement

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Right ventricular (RV) apical pacing, the standard pacing approach, often induces ventricular dyssynchrony, potentially impairing cardiac function. This study aims to investigate whether targeted RV septal pacing, guided by functional electrophysiological feedback during implantation, reduces ventricular dyssynchrony ...

Extracardiac compression of the inferolateral branch of the coronary vein by the descending aorta in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2017
Extracardiac structures can cause distortion of cardiac anatomy particularly in patients presenting with a significantly dilated heart, and/or thoracic deformities.

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Infection: Nationwide Trends in Extraction Utilization and In‐Hospital Outcomes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Contemporary, real‐world adherence to guideline‐directed transvenous cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) extraction for patients with CIED infections in the US remains incompletely characterized. As such, we sought to evaluate national trends in CIED extraction and identify factors associated with extraction and in ...

The interventricular conduction delays guide best cardiac resynchronization therapy: A tailored-patient approach to perform a CRT through Conduction System Pacing

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal
Evaluation of conduction intervals to predict success of resynchronization in biventricular pacing(BiVP) or Conduction System Pacing(CSP) is not spread in clinical practice. A right ventricle-to-left ventricle intrinsic conduction interval (RVs–LVs) > 70

Mid-term feasibility and safety of downgrade procedure from defibrillator to pacemaker with cardiac resynchronization therapy

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2019
Backgrounds: Some patients who undergo implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) survive long enough, thus requiring CRT-D battery replacement.

Tailoring the Atrioventricular Interval During Left Bundle Branch Pacing: Playing With Fusion

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Optimization of biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with fusion (fusion‐optimized intervals method) has been shown to improve left ventricular remodeling. However, information on programming the atrioventricular (AV) interval during left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) is scarce.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: Who Benefits?

Annals of Global Health, 2014
Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been well established in multiple large trials to improve symptoms, hospitalizations, reverse remodeling, and mortality in well-selected patients with heart failure when used in addition to optimal ...
