Does yoked catheter positioning facilitate transseptal endocardial LV lead placement in patients with challenging anatomy?
Yoked catheter positioning is a feasible technique that facilitates transseptal endocardial LV lead placement in patients with challenging anatomy.
Ernest W. Lau (2011) conducted a case report in Need for cardiac resynchronization therapy with challenging anatomy (n=4). Yoked superior approach transseptal catheterization was evaluated on Successful endocardial LV lead placement. Yoked superior approach transseptal catheterization allowed successful endocardial left ventricular lead placement in all 4 patients with challenging anatomy.
