Sažetak
We sought to follow up and compare patients with CRT devices placed by the transvenous or mini-thoracotomy approach.In both study groups, a clinical response was noted in all patients while volume response was superior after CRT implantation via mini-thoracotomy. However, a more notable reduction of PAP was measured after transvenous device placement. Our results suggest that detailed preoperative assessment of CRT candidates should lead to a better response rate. With the shortcomings of a more invasive approach, mini thoracotomy with selective CRT LV lead placement provides better LV reverse remodelling compared to the standard venous approach.
