Key result
Cardiac resynchronization therapy performed as a single-staged procedure in a surgical operating room achieved successful bi-ventricular pacing in 100% of patients (18/18).
Observational (n=18)
CRT can be successfully performed as a single-staged hybrid procedure in a cardiac operating room, with epicardial pacing thresholds remaining competitive when transvenous placement is unsuccessful.

Single-stage hybrid CRT in the OR may be feasible when transvenous fails; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before adoption.
Robert L. Quigley (2011) conducted an observational in Heart failure (n=18). Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) in a surgical operating room was evaluated on Successful bi-ventricular pacing. Cardiac resynchronization therapy performed as a single-staged procedure in a surgical operating room achieved successful bi-ventricular pacing in 100% of patients (18/18).
