DOI: 10.1016/j.ipej.2016.10.008
Abstract: Background Quadripolar left ventricular (LV) leads are capable of pacing from four different electrodes which allows for easier and more stable intra-operative lead positioning with optimal pacing parameters. We therefore investigated the rate of combined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-23209-5
Abstract: Fixation of the pacemaker leads during pacemaker implantation leads to an increase of cardiac Troponin T (cTnT) that can be interpreted as a sign of minimal myocardial damage. This trial evaluates whether the mechanism type… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13019-017-0659-4
Abstract: BackgroundWe retrospectively assessed two types of sutureless screw-in left ventricular (LV) leads (steroid eluting vs. non-steroid eluting) in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation with regards to their electrical performance.MethodsBetween March 2008 and May 2014 an… read more here.
