Key result
A quadripolar left ventricular lead did not overcome phrenic nerve stimulation in a patient with a CRT-D device.
Why the study?
Does a quadripolar left ventricular lead overcome phrenic nerve stimulation in a patient with CRT-D?
Case Report (n=1)
Does a quadripolar left ventricular lead overcome phrenic nerve stimulation in a patient with CRT-D?
A quadripolar left ventricular lead may not always be sufficient to overcome phrenic nerve stimulation in patients receiving CRT-D.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Quadripolar LV leads may fail to resolve phrenic nerve stimulation in CRT-D; leaves open optimal lead selection and programming strategies.
Parahuleva et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Phrenic nerve stimulation in a patient with CRT-D (n=1). Quadripolar Left Ventricular Lead (Quartet lead) was evaluated on Phrenic nerve stimulation. A quadripolar left ventricular lead did not overcome phrenic nerve stimulation in a patient with a CRT-D device.
