Implication
May support specialized CS leads for LA pacing in select cases; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Structured PICO
Does a specifically designed coronary sinus lead provide safe and effective permanent left atrial pacing?
P
Population
40 patients requiring permanent left atrial pacing
I
Intervention
Implantation of a specifically designed coronary sinus (CS) lead featuring a double 45 degree angulation at the distal end
O
Outcome
Implantation success rate, acute and chronic pacing thresholds, sensing amplitudes, and lead dislodgment ratessafety
A specifically designed coronary sinus lead with a double 45-degree angulation is safe and highly effective for permanent left atrial pacing when positioned in the distal or middle CS.
