Implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy systems in the CARE-HF trial: procedural success rate and safety

Structured PICO

What is the procedural success rate and safety of transvenous CRT system implantation?

Population

Patients in the CARE-HF trial

Intervention

Transvenous cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) system implantation using a coronary sinus (CS) lead designed for long-term LV pacing

Outcome

Procedural success rate and safetysafety

Transvenous CRT system implantation using a CS lead is safe and reliable, with success rates expected to increase with center experience.

Abstract

Transvenous CRT system implantation, using a CS lead designed for long-term LV pacing, was safe and reliable. As implanting centres become more experienced, this success rate is expected to increase further.
