Reversing cardiac resynchronization therapy non-responder status in a patient with a surgically placed epicardial left ventricular lead by switching to an active fixation coronary sinus lead

Abstract: puncture. Both the patients improved haemodynamically after the activation of IABP, and the implantations were successfully completed other than the epicardially implanted LV lead in Case 1. No other procedure-related complications were observed.In conclusion, activation of IABP may be a safe and beneficial option for completing the procedure in patients experiencing acute heart failure worsening during CRT implantation. This approach could eliminate both the need for re-operation and diminish the associated r… Show more

“…The improvement in mortality, heart function, and quality of life associated with CRT in selected patients with symptomatic HF and interventricular conduction delay has been well established [3-7]. Transvenous LV lead placement is currently considered the first-line approach for CRT but is unsuccessful in up to 5% of patients [8, 9]. Factors leading to the failure of transvenous LV lead placement include the inability to cannulate the CS, the absence of suitable venous tributaries, and complications including lead dislodgement, electrode malpositioning, CS dissection, and unpredictable phrenic-nerve stimulation [8, 9].…”

Even with successful implantation, nearly 30% of current CRT recipients failed to derive a benefit from the device yet beyond the postprocedural period [12].…”
