Key result
A modified transseptal catheterization technique for left ventricular lead insertion achieved successful biventricular pacing in 3 patients with end-stage heart failure at 6 months.
Why the study?
Does a modified transseptal catheterization technique through the right internal jugular vein allow for successful totally endocardial biventricular pacing in patients with end-stage heart failure?

Does a modified transseptal catheterization technique through the right internal jugular vein allow for successful totally endocardial biventricular pacing in patients with end-stage heart failure?
A modified transseptal catheterization technique through the right internal jugular vein is a feasible approach for totally endocardial biventricular pacing in end-stage heart failure.
Leclercq et al. (1999) conducted a case report in End-stage heart failure with QRS widening (n=3). Left ventricular lead insertion using a modified transseptal catheterization technique was evaluated on Acute sensing and pacing thresholds, and maintenance of biventricular pacing. A modified transseptal catheterization technique for left ventricular lead insertion achieved successful biventricular pacing in 3 patients with end-stage heart failure at 6 months.
