Usefulness of delivery catheter on accurate right ventricular septal pacing: Mt FUJI trial
Authors' conclusion
The delivery catheter system can achieve a higher success rate of RV lead placement to the RV septum and narrower paced QRS width than the stylet system.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with pacemaker indications of atrioventricular block (mean age 78 ± 11 years; 30 men)
- Participants
- 70 patients
- Comparison
- Delivery catheter vs stylet system for right ventricular (RV) lead implantation
- Primary endpoint
- Success rate of RV lead tip placement to the RV septum (assessed by cardiac CT)
- Follow-up
- Within 4 weeks of pacemaker implantation
Methodological detailsmulticentre, prospective, RV leads implanted as per allocation in all patients
