Does coronary sinus stenting stabilize left ventricular leads in patients with lead instability during cardiac resynchronization therapy?
Coronary sinus stenting is a promising novel approach to stabilize left ventricular leads during cardiac resynchronization therapy, though long-term safety data are required.
Oskar Kowalski (2006) conducted a case report in Left ventricular lead instability during cardiac resynchronization therapy (n=2). Coronary sinus stenting was evaluated on Lead stability and successful resynchronization. Coronary sinus stenting successfully stabilized the left ventricular lead and allowed for successful resynchronization in two patients over 3 to 5 months of follow-up.
