Key result
Implantation of a single pass right ventricular defibrillation lead was successful in all 13 patients, though atrial pacing dysfunction occurred in 17% of patients.
Why the study?
Does a single pass right ventricular defibrillation lead provide adequate dual-chamber pacing and sensing in patients requiring ICDs?
Observational (n=13)
Does a single pass right ventricular defibrillation lead provide adequate dual-chamber pacing and sensing in patients requiring ICDs?
A single pass right ventricular defibrillation lead can provide dual-chamber sensing and pacing, though atrial pacing dysfunction may occur in a subset of patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Single-pass RV defibrillation leads may enable dual-chamber ICD function; this Level 5 series leaves atrial pacing reliability open for prospective evaluation.
Gradaus et al. (2001) conducted an observational in Patients requiring an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (n=13). Single pass right ventricular defibrillation lead was evaluated on Intraoperative performance and short-term follow-up. Implantation of a single pass right ventricular defibrillation lead was successful in all 13 patients, though atrial pacing dysfunction occurred in 17% of patients.
