Abstract

Right ventricular (RV) septum is an alternate site for the placement of RV lead tip instead of RV apex. Recent studies have demonstrated that less than half of the RV leads targeted for septal implantation are placed on the RV septum using a conventional stylet system; new guiding catheter systems have become available for RV lead placement. This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of the delivery catheter system in lead placement on the RV septum when compared with the stylet system. We retrospectively evaluated 198 patients who underwent fluoroscopically guided pacemaker implantation with RV leads targeted to be placed in the RV septum and in whom computed tomography was incidentally and subsequently performed. A delivery catheter was used in 16 patients, and a stylet in 182 patients. The primary endpoint of this study was the success rate of RV lead placement on the RV septum. The proportion of RV lead placement on the RV septum was higher in the delivery catheter group than in the stylet group (100% vs. 44%; p < 0.001). In the stylet group, the lead tips were placed at the hinge in 92 cases (51%) and on the free wall in 9 cases (5%). Paced QRS duration was narrower in the delivery catheter group than in the stylet group (128 ± 16 vs. 150 ± 21 ms, p < 0.01). The delivery catheter system designated for pacing leads may aid in selecting RV septal sites and achieve good physiologic ventricular activation.
