Heart Failure, Left Bundle Branch Block, Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Keywords

heart failure, cardiac resynchronization therapy, coronary sinus lead

Brief summary

In patients undergoing CRT device implantation a lead positioning in the coronary sinus is required. Even this part of the surgical procedure is challenging. In this study we compared retrospectively to methods of CS-lead implantation: conventional vs. EP-catheter guided.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Total Fluoroscopy Time	During implantation	During CRT device implantation fluoroscopy is used and the total fluoroscopy time is counted.
Contrast medium account	During surgical procedure	contrast medium is used and counted during crt device implantation.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Successful implantation	During surgical procedure	Successful crt implantation was defined as effective positioning of RV and CS lead +/- right atrial lead.

Other

Measure	Time frame	Description
Procedure related complications	24 hours after start of surgery	All complications during time frame of 24 hours after start of surgery were proved whether they were procedure related.
