In patients with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), transvenous device implantation for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may be challenging. We present a complex case with successful, high-density electroanatomic mapping (EAM) guided corrective His bundle pacing (CHBP) following failed CRT upgrade in a patient with PLSVC, congenital heart disease, and pacing-associated heart failure. CHBP restored physiological conduction in left bundle branch block with complete conduction block leading to clinical improvement and cardiac remodeling. The presented case supports the growing evidence that EAM-guided CHBP may be considered a feasible alternative to conventional CRT when venous anatomy is not favorable for left ventricular lead implantation.
在持续性左上腔静脉(PLSVC)患者中,心脏再同步治疗(CRT)的经静脉器械植入可能具有挑战性。我们报告了一例复杂病例,一名 PLSVC、先天性心脏病和起搏相关心力衰竭患者在 CRT 升级失败后,成功地进行了高密度电生理标测(EAM)引导下的纠正希氏束起搏(CHBP)。CHBP 在左束支传导阻滞中恢复了生理性传导,完全传导阻滞导致临床改善和心脏重构。该病例支持越来越多的证据,即当静脉解剖不利于左心室导线植入时,EAM 引导下的 CHBP 可被视为传统 CRT 的可行替代方案。
