Implantation of Active Fixation Leads in Coronary Veins for Left Ventricular Stimulation: Report of Five Cases

Volume: 30, Issue: 1

Abstract
Securing transvenous left ventricular (LV) pacing leads without an active fixation mechanism in proximal coronary vein (CV) segments is usually challenging and frequently impossible. We investigated how active fixation leads can be safely implanted in this location, how to avoid perforating the free wall of the CV, and how to recognize and respond to perforations.In five patients with no alternative to LV pacing from proximal CV segments, 4 Fr...
