What this Trial Is About

This research aims to compare two approaches for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who have experienced coronary sinus (CS) lead failure after receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D). The study evaluates epicardial lead placement through surgery versus conduction system pacing (CSP) to see which method may be more effective after lead failure. The trial addresses the lack of clear guidelines and direct comparisons between these two alternatives in patients who have not responded fully to conventional biventricular pacing CRT. Participants include those who had CS lead failure and underwent either transthoracic left ventricular epicardial lead placement or conduction system pacing as lead revision strategies. The study is observational and retrospective, focusing on patients who had lead placement with devices from Medtronic, Boston Scientific, or Abbott. The two groups being compared are those receiving CSP and those receiving epicardial lead placement, with data collected from past procedures. During the study, researchers review patient records to assess outcomes like the need for further lead revision on the day of the procedure and electrocardiography characteristics, specifically the QRS interval. This observational approach collects data without administering new treatments. The study began in November 2023 and aims to complete data collection by December 2024. Participants are adults aged 18 and older who have experienced lead failure after CRT-D implantation.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligible

You may qualify if you...

  • All patients older than 18 years of age
  • Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who underwent biventricular pacing cardiac resynchronization therapy (BVP-CRT)
  • Experienced coronary sinus lead failure, initial or recurrent, replaced with either transthoracic epicardial lead placement or conduction system pacing (CSP)

Not Eligible

You will not qualify if you...

  • Patients younger than 18 years of age
  • Epicardial lead placement or conduction system pacing performed as the initial approach or for reasons other than lead replacement
  • Patients for whom cardiac resynchronization therapy no longer provides symptom relief or mortality benefit
