Abstract
An 80-year-old man with a history of complete heart block underwent dual chamber pacemaker implantation about a year ago. He returned to the hospital due to de novo heart failure caused by pacing-induced cardiomyopathy; hence, we planned to upgrade his pacemaker to a biventricular device. The initial strategy was to perform left bundle branch area pacing-optimized cardiac resynchronization therapy (LOT-CRT) with left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) combined with a coronary sinus (CS) lead. In this challenging case, the successful placement of a CS lead was hindered by a complicated combination of a large CS body linked to the left superior vena cava and a winding CS branch. However, utilizing readily available tools, such as the coronary balloon and Guide Plus II ST catheter, proved instrumental in overcoming these obstacles. As a result, LOT-CRT provided the patient with a safe alternative to surgical LV lead placement.
一位有完全性心脏传导阻滞病史的80岁老人大约一年前接受了双腔起搏器植入术。他因起搏诱导的心肌病引起的新发性心力衰竭而返回医院；因此，我们计划将他的起搏器升级为双心室设备。最初的策略是用左束支区域起搏（LBBAP）结合冠状窦（CS）导线进行左束支区起搏优化心脏再同步治疗（LOT-CRT）。在这种具有挑战性的情况下，连接到左上腔静脉的大CS体和缠绕的CS分支的复杂组合阻碍了CS导线的成功放置。然而，使用现成的工具，如冠状动脉球囊和Guide Plus II ST段导管，被证明有助于克服这些障碍。因此，LOT-CRT为患者提供了手术左心室导线放置的安全替代方案。
