Is the permanent placement of an implantable hemodynamic monitor technically feasible and safe in patients with symptomatic heart failure?
Permanent placement of an implantable hemodynamic monitor in symptomatic heart failure patients is technically feasible with an acceptable safety profile.
Steinhaus et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Symptomatic heart failure (n=148). Implantable hemodynamic monitor (Chronicle system) was evaluated on Implant feasibility and adverse events. Permanent placement of an implantable hemodynamic monitor in 148 symptomatic heart failure patients was technically feasible, with acceptable pressure waveforms in all but two patients.
