Triple site biventricular pacing in a patient with congestive heart failure and severe mechanical dyssynchrony

J Interv Card Electrophysiol. 2007 Mar;18(2):187-90. doi: 10.1007/s10840-007-9090-4. Epub 2007 Apr 27.

Abstract

We report on a case of a 62-year-old patient with symptomatic heart failure and severe ventricular electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony, who was implanted percutaneously with a triple site (dual-left single-right) resynchronization device. At 3-months follow-up, the patient's functional status improved significantly as shown by subjective and objective tests. Furthermore, this mode of pacing has allowed nearly complete inter- and intraventricular mechanical resynchronization.
