This paper reports the initial clinical experience with lead implantation and specifically immediate and short-term pacing parameters across 3 United Kingdom centers.Ĭonsecutive patients eligible for CRT were deemed suitable for this lead. In August 2017, a novel quadripolar active fixation LV lead (Medtronic) was released. The most common reason for failure to implant a lead is the lack of a suitable epicardial vein, due either to an absent vessel in the target site, an unacceptably high threshold, lead instability, phrenic nerve stimulation, or a combination of reasons. This study sought to assess immediate and short-term performance of the Medtronic Attain Stability Quadripolar 4798 lead (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland).Ĭardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment for appropriately selected patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction.
