Comparison of Epicardial Versus Conventional Lead Placement in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
Randomized Study of Endovascular Versus Epicardial Lead Placement for Resynchronization Therapy

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the use of robotically -assisted device leads as a primary strategy for heart resynchronization.This trials aims to compare transvenous lead placement with robotic lead placement for cardiac resynchronization therapy.

A secondary goal is to explore the link between efficacy of CRT and inotropic contractile reserve as measured by dobutamine stress echocardiography.

Interventional
Not Provided
Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
  • Heart Failure
  • Procedure: Primary epicardial placement of left ventricular lead
    Epicardial leads will be placed on the left ventricle in the area of the most dyssynchrony . the leads will be attached to a Medtronic Cardiac resynchronization/ AICD/ device
    Other Name: cardiac resynchronization therapy
  • Procedure: Transvenous placement of left ventricular lead
    Conventional placement of left ventricular leads performed in the electrophysiology department.
    Other Names:
    • Cardiac resynchronization Therapy
    • CRT/ AICD
  • Active Comparator: Robotic placement of CS lead
    CS leads placed epicardially in the area of increased dyssynchrony as demonstrated by low dose dobutamine stress testing.
    Intervention: Procedure: Primary epicardial placement of left ventricular lead
  • Active Comparator: Transvenous placement of CS lead
    CS lead will be placed transvenously
    Intervention: Procedure: Transvenous placement of left ventricular lead
