Percutaneous left ventricular endocardial leads: adverse outcomes and a percutaneous extraction case series.

ABSTRACT: Background:Conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) involves the placement of an epicardial left ventricular (LV) lead through the coronary venous tree. However, alternative approaches of delivering CRT have been sought for patients who fail to respond to conventional methods or for those where coronary venous anatomy is unfavourable. Biventricular pacing through an endocardial LV lead has potential advantages; however, the long-term clinical and safety data are not known. Case summary:This article details a case series of four patients with endocardial LV leads; three of these for previously failed conventional CRT and a fourth for an inadvertently placed defibrillator lead. Discussion:We describe the clinical course and adverse events associated with left-sided leads and subsequently describe the safe and feasible method of percutaneous extraction.

<h4>Background</h4>Conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) involves the placement of an epicardial left ventricular (LV) lead through the coronary venous tree. However, alternative approaches of delivering CRT have been sought for patients who fail to respond to conventional methods or for those where coronary venous anatomy is unfavourable.

Case series: Congenital left ventricular diverticulum.

Project description:Congenital left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac malformation characterized by a localized outpouching from the cardiac chamber. The patient is usually asymptomatic. However, complications like embolism, infective endocarditis, arrhythmia and, rarely, rupture can be the initial presentation. Diagnosis can be established by USG, echocardiography, CT angiography, and MRI. We report here two neonates with congenital left ventricular apical diverticulum associated with epigastric hernia.

Percutaneous left ventricular advanced support for 'protected' complex high-risk transcatheter mitral valve repair: a case series.

Project description:Background:Currently, the use of advanced ventricular support systems during percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) procedures is confined to very few selected cases in emergency or bailout situations. No cases are reported of planned use of ventricular support devices in the subgroup of high-risk patients undergoing PMVR. Case summary:We report two cases of planned and 'protected' procedures of PMVR with Impella CP mechanical circulatory support. No procedure-related complications occurred. At 6-month clinical follow-up evaluation, an improvement of symptoms and functional class (New York Heart Association) was reported. Discussion:In the two cases reported, PMVR with Impella CP assistance was feasible, safe and effective in the setting of severe mitral regurgitation associated with dilated and severe left ventricular dysfunction. Extending the concept of 'complex high-risk and indicated patients/procedures' (CHIP) from the environment of coronary intervention, a 'protected' approach could lead to improve technical feasibility and clinical outcome in structural interventions, as advocated for 'protected-percutaneous coronary intervention'.

Left Ventricular Assist Device Support for Fabry Cardiomyopathy: A Case Series.

Project description:Patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy due to Fabry disease are often deemed ineligible for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support due to the risk of suction events with a small LV cavity. We describe the first case series of LVAD support for Fabry disease. LVAD therapy can improve survival, quality of life, and provide clinical stability to start enzyme replacement therapy. Precautions at the time of surgery include rapid treatment of fever to avoid Fabry crises, involvement of a multidisciplinary team, and early initiation of rehabilitation. We describe LVAD support for both bridging and destination therapy.

Adverse Events of Percutaneous Microaxial Left Ventricular Assist Devices-A Retrospective, Single-Centre Cohort Study.

Project description:Worldwide, the left ventricular assist device Impella® (Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA) is increasingly implanted in patients with acute cardiogenic shock or undergoing high-risk cardiac interventions. Despite its long history of use, few studies have assessed its safety and possible complications associated with its use. All patients treated with a left-sided Impella® device at the University Hospital of Basel from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2019 were enrolled. The primary endpoint was the composite rate of mortality and adverse events (bleeding, acute kidney injury, and limb ischemia). Out of 281 included patients, at least one adverse event was present in 262 patients (93%). Rates of in-hospital, 90-day, and one-year mortality were 48%, 47%, and 50%, respectively. BARC type 3 bleeding (62%) and hemolysis (41.6%) were the most common complications. AKI was observed in 50% of all patients. Renal replacement therapy was required in 97 (35%) of all patients. Limb ischemia occurred in 13% of cases. Bleeding and hemolysis are common Impella®-associated complications. Additionally, we found a high rate of AKI. A careful selection of patients receiving microaxial LV support and defining the indication for its use are essential measures to be taken for the benefits to outweigh potential complications.

Improvement of Right Ventricular Hemodynamics with Left Ventricular Endocardial Pacing during Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular epicardial (BV-CS) or endocardial left ventricular (LV) stimulation (BV-EN) improves LV hemodynamics. The effect of CRT on right ventricular function is less clear, particularly for BV-EN. Our objective was to compare the simultaneous acute hemodynamic response (AHR) of the right and left ventricles (RV and LV) with BV-CS and BV-EN in order to determine the optimal mode of CRT delivery.MethodsNine patients with previously implanted CRT devices successfully underwent a temporary pacing study. Pressure wires measured the simultaneous AHR in both ventricles during different pacing protocols. Conventional epicardial CRT was delivered in LV-only (LV-CS) and BV-CS configurations and compared with BV-EN pacing in multiple locations using a roving decapolar catheter.ResultsBest BV-EN (optimal AHR of all LV endocardial pacing sites) produced a significantly greater RV AHR compared with LV-CS and BV-CS pacing (P < 0.05). RV AHR had a significantly increased standard deviation compared to LV AHR (P < 0.05) with a weak correlation between RV and LV AHR (Spearman rs = -0.06). Compromised biventricular optimization, whereby RV AHR was increased at the expense of a smaller decrease in LV AHR, was achieved in 56% of cases, all with BV-EN pacing.ConclusionsBV-EN pacing produces significant increases in both LV and RV AHR, above that achievable with conventional epicardial pacing. RV AHR cannot be used as a surrogate for optimizing LV AHR; however, compromised biventricular optimization is possible. The beneficial effect of endocardial LV pacing on RV function may have important clinical benefits beyond conventional CRT.

Relationship of left ventricular thrombus formation and adverse outcomes in acute anterior myocardial infarction in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is 4% to 15% in patients with anterior acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (ant-AMI) in the era of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). And patients with LVT have higher in-hospital mortality.HypothesisThere is a relationship between LVT formation and 1-year major adverse cardio-cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with ant-AMI treated by PPCI.MethodsOur study population included 1488 consecutive patients with ant-AMI. The primary endpoint was the incidence of MACCE within 1 year after AMI. The secondary endpoint was the thrombosis disappearance.ResultsA total of 106 (7.1%) patients were diagnosed with LVT and 1382 (92.9%) patients without LVT. Patients with LVT had a higher incidence of MACCE than in patients without LVT (21.7%vs10.3%; P < 0.001). Univariate analysis showed LVT was associated with an increase in MACCE risk (odds ratio [OR] = 2.40; 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.37-4.21]; P < 0.001). When examining MACCE components individually, LVT was only associated with the incidence of congestive heart failure (OR = 2.41; 95% CI [1.29-4.58]; P = 0.001). After adjustment for principal confounders, LVT remained an independent risk factor for MACCE (HR = 2.28; 95% CI [1.12-6.38]; P = 0.020). Other independent predictors include 24-hour LVEF, creatine kinase peak value, and age. Further analysis found patients with LVT in international normalized ratio (INR) ≥ 2 group had lower MACCE risk and higher thrombus disappearance than in INR < 2 group (13.5%vs29.6%; P = 0.044; 90.4%vs74.1%; P = 0.029).ConclusionFor patients with ant-AMI treated by PPCI, LVT is an independent predictor of 1-year MACCE events. Treatment with vitamin K antagonist in the therapeutic range (INR ≥ 2) has the potential to reduce MACCE risk and promote disappearance of thrombus.

Cytomegalovirus reactivation in left ventricular assist device patients: case series and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundCytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation after placing left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is not a well-known entity with few cases reported in the literature. Here, we are presenting three cases of CMV reactivation after placing LVAD. A literature review of all reported cases in the literature was done.Case summaryThree cases of advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (Stage D9) had placed (LVAD) at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, a tertiary care centre in Lebanon. Within the first 2 weeks after LVAD implantation, the three patients spiked a high-grade fever for which sepsis workup was done, and antibiotics were initiated. Despite the escalating antibiotic regimens, the three patients had a persistent high-grade fever. The negative cultures and the continuous fever prompted an investigation for other causes of fever. Therefore, CMV polymerase chain reaction in blood was performed and revealed high titres. Patients received a full course of treatment with ganciclovir. The fever and the CMV titres declined after completing the antiviral therapy with better clinical outcomes. This raises the concern of CMV reactivation in LVAD patients.DiscussionThis case series and literature review highlight the epidemiology, incidence, and management of CMV reactivation among LVAD patients. Awareness about this clinical entity should be raised, especially with the increase of LVAD surgeries.
