Ask Dr. Z

Does this support a dual chamber insertion?

"Using fluoroscopic guidance a lead was inserted into the area of the left bundle via guide sheath. Pacing and sensing parameters were appropriate with LV activation time of 71 ms. The guide was slit. The lead was anchored in position using sutures around the anchoring sleeve. Next, another sheath was used to place an atrial lead in the area of the right atrial appendage. The lead was anchored in position using sutures around the anchoring sleeve. The leads were then connected to generator and the pocket was irrigated with saline.

The device and leads were placed in the pocket and the pocket was closed with a combination of subcutaneous absorbable sutures and Steristrips. Pacing and sensing parameters were checked through the device and were appropriate, there was no phrenic stimulation with high outpatient pacing from both atrial and ventricular leads."
