May refine CRT lead placement in complex cases; leaves open whether routine use improves outcomes.
Does multi modality imaging improve patient selection and guide optimal lead placement for cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure patients?
Multimodality imaging and real-time image integration hold promise for improving patient selection and guiding optimal left ventricular lead placement in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Behar et al. (2016) conducted a review in Heart failure. Multi-modality cardiac imaging was evaluated. Multi-modality cardiac imaging and real-time image integration with X-ray angiography serve as invaluable adjuncts to accurately guide left ventricular lead placement for cardiac resynchronization.
