Key result
Implantation of a new polyurethane-coated left ventricular lead was successful in 88.5% of patients after coronary sinus identification, demonstrating safety and procedural flexibility.
Why the study?
Does a new polyurethane-coated, unipolar LV lead allow successful implantation using stylet-driven or guide-wire techniques in patients with heart failure?
Population
96 patients with heart failure, mean age 68 +/- 9 years old, 76% men.

Does a new polyurethane-coated, unipolar LV lead allow successful implantation using stylet-driven or guide-wire techniques in patients with heart failure?
The new polyurethane-coated, unipolar LV lead can be safely and effectively implanted using both over-the-wire and stylet-driven techniques, offering greater procedural flexibility.
Ellery et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Heart failure (n=96). New polyurethane-coated, unipolar LV lead was evaluated on LV lead implant success rate after identification of the coronary sinus (CS). Implantation of a new polyurethane-coated left ventricular lead was successful in 88.5% of patients after coronary sinus identification, demonstrating safety and procedural flexibility.
