Double left ventricular pacing following accidental malpositioning of the right ventricular electrode during implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy device
Accidental malpositioning of a right ventricular (RV) electrode has not been previously reported in the context of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).The case of a 75-year old male patient with dilative cardiomyopathy, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction 23%, New York Heart Association functional heart failure status stage III, left bundle branch block (LBBB) with QRS width of 136 ms, ...
متن کاملImprovement of Right Ventricular Hemodynamics with Left Ventricular Endocardial Pacing during Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular epicardial (BV-CS) or endocardial left ventricular (LV) stimulation (BV-EN) improves LV hemodynamics. The effect of CRT on right ventricular function is less clear, particularly for BV-EN. Our objective was to compare the simultaneous acute hemodynamic response (AHR) of the right and left ventricles (RV and LV) with BV-CS and...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy for Left Ventricular Dysfunction Induced by Chronic Right Ventricular Pacing in a Child
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been proven its value in adult patients with congestive heart failure of low ejection fraction and wide QRS duration. Contrast to adult patients, CRT has been rarely applied for young patients. We report on a 9-yr-old boy with progressive left ventricular (LV) dilatation and dysfunction following chronic VVI pacemaker therapy for congenital complete a...
متن کاملCoronary sinus dissection during left ventricular pacing electrode implantation.
Coronary sinus (CS) dissection during biventricular pacing electrode implantation is a complication that rarely develops. A 71-year-old female with recurrent ventricular tachycardia, heart decompensation, and poor left ventricular function because of dilated cardiomyopathy was admitted for the implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator for biventricular pacing. During the operation, we experi...
متن کاملAlternative techniques for left ventricular pacing in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an important treatment modality for a well-defined subgroup of heart failure patients. Coronary sinus (CS) lead placement is the first-line clinical approach but the insertion is unsuccessful in about 5-10% of the patients. In recent years, the number of CRT recipients and the considerable need for left ventricular (LV) lead revisions increased enormou...
