Key result
TEE-guided epicardial pacing lead placement on the lateral surface increased cardiac output from 1.9 to 4.2 l/min and stroke volume from 19.48 to 42.39 ml.

May support TEE-guided epicardial lead optimization in select intraoperative cases; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Case Report (n=1)
Intraoperative TEE can effectively guide the optimal placement of epicardial LV pacing leads by monitoring beat-to-beat stroke volume and cardiac output.
Arya et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Dilated cardiomyopathy (n=1). TEE-guided left ventricular epicardial pacing lead placement vs. Baseline (pre-placement) was evaluated on Cardiac output and stroke volume. TEE-guided epicardial pacing lead placement on the lateral surface increased cardiac output from 1.9 to 4.2 l/min and stroke volume from 19.48 to 42.39 ml.
