Preoperative CT of cardiac veins for planning left ventricular lead placement in cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Conclusion In CRT patients, MDCT can be used for preoperative mapping of the cardiac veins to assess availability of suitable veins in potential target segments for pacemaker-lead placement. Using the 17-segment plot of the left ventricle may improve the clinical usefulness of the data. PMID: 30304945 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
