Alternatives needed in 5-10% of CRT cases; leaves open optimal technique without randomized comparisons.
Surgical and endocardial alternatives for LV pacing are available for the 5-10% of CRT patients who fail conventional coronary sinus lead placement, though more randomized data is needed.
Mihálcz et al. (2013) conducted a review in Heart failure. Alternative techniques for left ventricular pacing vs. Coronary sinus lead placement was evaluated. Alternative techniques for left ventricular pacing are required for the 5-10% of heart failure patients in whom conventional coronary sinus lead placement is unsuccessful.
