In 2006 she underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with left main coronary artery stenting due to complaints of angina&#46; In 2010&#44; she developed left bundle branch block&#44; and myocardial scintigraphy revealed left ventricular ejection fraction &#40;LVEF&#41; of 40&#37;&#44; without ischemia&#46; In 2014 she developed symptoms of heart failure&#46; An attempt was made to optimize medical therapy on an outpatient basis&#44; but her clinical condition deteriorated and in February 2015 she was admitted to the hospital with severe heart failure &#40;New York Heart Association &#91;NYHA&#93;

with progressive improvement to NYHA class III&#46; Repeat coronary angiography showed no residual coronary disease and implantation of a CRT system was proposed&#46; An attempt to implant a CRT defibrillator was unsuccessful due to bilateral subclavian vein occlusion&#46; Surgical implantation of an epicardial left ventricular lead was not undertaken due to the patient&#39;s frailty and the strong possibility of severe mediastinal fibrosis&#44; increasing the risk of procedural morbidity&#46; We proposed implantation of a CRT system via a femoral approach&#44; which was accepted by the patient&#46; Considerations of generator size and weight&#44; the low probability of obtaining an effective defibrillation vector at the level of the femoral region&#44; and the fact that the patient was hospitalized for advanced heart failure&#44; led to the selection of a pacemaker system&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Two active fixation leads &#40;85 cm Medtronic CapSureFix Novus<span class="elsevierStyleSup">&#174;</span> 5076&#41;

In 2006 she underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with left main coronary artery stenting due to complaints of angina&#46; In 2010&#44; she developed left bundle branch block&#44; and myocardial scintigraphy revealed left ventricular ejection fraction &#40;LVEF&#41; of 40&#37;&#44; without ischemia&#46; In 2014 she developed symptoms of heart failure&#46; An attempt was made to optimize medical therapy on an outpatient basis&#44; but her clinical condition deteriorated and in February 2015 she was admitted to the hospital with severe heart failure &#40;New York Heart Association &#91;NYHA&#93;

with progressive improvement to NYHA class III&#46; Repeat coronary angiography showed no residual coronary disease and implantation of a CRT system was proposed&#46; An attempt to implant a CRT defibrillator was unsuccessful due to bilateral subclavian vein occlusion&#46; Surgical implantation of an epicardial left ventricular lead was not undertaken due to the patient&#39;s frailty and the strong possibility of severe mediastinal fibrosis&#44; increasing the risk of procedural morbidity&#46; We proposed implantation of a CRT system via a femoral approach&#44; which was accepted by the patient&#46; Considerations of generator size and weight&#44; the low probability of obtaining an effective defibrillation vector at the level of the femoral region&#44; and the fact that the patient was hospitalized for advanced heart failure&#44; led to the selection of a pacemaker system&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Two active fixation leads &#40;85 cm Medtronic CapSureFix Novus<span class="elsevierStyleSup">&#174;</span> 5076&#41;
