Overlay of 3D CS anatomy defined by preprocedural cardiac CT is feasible. It allows planning of CRT implantation and live guidance of CS lead placement into a predefined target branch. Limiting the CT imaging to 40 % of the cardiac cycle phase provides optimal CS images and reduces radiation exposure. This approach may result in shorter procedural time and more optimal CS lead positioning. However, the concept remains to be confirmed by future studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
