In the modern implanting era with progressive expanding indications to resynchronization therapy, upgrading procedure is a relatively common event. Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), the most common venous abnormality, may exacerbate technical difficulties. We describe the procedure of upgrading from a dual chamber pacemaker to resynchronization/defibrillation system with a total of 4 leads through a PLSVC entering a dilated coronary sinus (CS) never described before. The case report, in addition to the description of a unique technical approach, raises a lot of clinical questions about how many leads we can introduce in such a venous structure and inside CS without hemodynamic impact on venous drainage potentially leading to life-threatening situations.
在现代植入时代,随着心脏再同步治疗适应证的不断扩大,升级手术是较为常见的情况。持续性左上腔静脉(PLSVC)是最常见的静脉异常,可能会增加技术难度。我们描述了一种通过PLSVC进入扩张的冠状静脉窦(CS),将双腔起搏器升级为带有4根导线的心脏再同步/除颤系统的手术,此前从未有过相关描述。该病例报告除了描述一种独特的技术方法外,还引发了许多临床问题,比如在这样的静脉结构和CS内,我们可以引入多少根导线而不对静脉引流产生血流动力学影响,以免潜在地导致危及生命的情况。
