Heart failure & cardiomyopathies

Optimizing Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Lead Placement Accuracy With CMR-Guided On-Screen Targeting: A Randomized Controlled Trial (ADVISE-CRT III)

JACC Clin ElectrophysiolPublished multicenter randomized trial

Authors' conclusion

Image-guided implantation resulted in significantly more LVPE placed in the target area and greater LVESV reduction in patients with myocardial scar.

Study context

Population
Heart failure patients undergoing CRT (80% with Class I CRT indication)enrolled across 7 hospitals in the Netherlands
Participants
131 patients
Comparison
Image-guided implantation, with on-screen guidance during the procedure or conventional implantation
Primary endpoint
Left ventricular pacing electrode (LVPE) implantation in the target area
Methodological details7 hospitals in the Netherlands
  • 7 hospitals in the Netherlands

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

P < 0.001

Secondary outcomes

LVPE placed in scarred areas (secondary endpoint) · fewer in the image-guided group

P = 0.006

LVESV reduction in patients with myocardial scar (subgroup) · greater LVESV reduction with image guidance

P = 0.028
