Why the study?
Is left ventricular pacemaker lead implantation using a preformed "peel-away" guiding sheath and "side-wire" pacing lead feasible in patients with heart failure?
Is left ventricular pacemaker lead implantation using a preformed "peel-away" guiding sheath and "side-wire" pacing lead feasible in patients with heart failure?
Device implantation using a preformed sheath and side-wire pacing lead is feasible and achieves a high success rate (92%) for biventricular pacemaker insertion.
