However, complex coronary venous anatomy can be challenging for placement of CRT leads.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Between October 2006 and June 2012, seven patients with either dextro\u2010TGA (d\u2010TGA) or levo\u2010TGA (l\u2010TGA) underwent preprocedural imaging prior to placement of CRT leads (three, d\u2010TGA and four, l\u2010TGA). Three patients underwent cardiac computed tomography (CT) and four underwent coronary angiography, which included levophase imaging of the coronary sinus (CS) or direct contrast injection of the CS. Where CS anatomy was appropriate with drainage into the systemic venous circulation, a transvenous approach was planned. In all other cases, the patient was referred for surgical placement of epicardial leads.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Seven patients were identified with either d\u2010TGA or l\u2010TGA who had undergone preprocedural imaging prior to placement of CRT leads (three, d\u2010TGA and four, l\u2010TGA). Three patients underwent cardiac CT and four underwent coronary angiography, which included levophase imaging of the CS or direct contrast injection of the CS. All seven patients had successful CRT lead placement guided by preprocedure imaging. Three patients required surgical placement whereas four were able to undergo transvenous placement. There were no complications. The majority of patients (four of seven) had improvement in New York Heart Association class as well as subjective improvement in exercise tolerance and energy. The majority of patients also had subjective improvement in systemic right ventricular function by echocardiogram and objective improvement in fractional area change of the right ventricle. The follow\u2010up period ranged from 13 months to 55 months with a mean follow\u2010up of 39 months.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Placement of biventricular leads for CRT in patients with l\u2010TGA or d\u2010TGA is feasible. Preprocedural imaging of the CS allows for better assessment of its anatomy and helps determine procedural approach for CRT placement, thereby limiting unnecessary procedures. In the majority of patients, there was subjective improvement in functional status and right ventricular function; in addition, there was objective improvement in echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular function after CRT placement.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/pace.12308","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,3]],"date-time":"2013-12-03T17:23:02Z","timestamp":1386091382000},"page":"546-553","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Preprocedural Imaging in Patients with Transposition of the Great Arteries Facilitates Placement of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Leads"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"EMILY SUE","family":"RUCKDESCHEL","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology University of Colorado Aurora Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ROBERT","family":"QUAIFE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology University of Colorado Aurora Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"LAURENT","family":"LEWKOWIEZ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology University of Colorado Aurora Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"JOSEPH","family":"KAY","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology University of Colorado Aurora Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"WILLIAM H.","family":"SAUER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology University of Colorado Aurora Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"KATHRYN K.","family":"COLLINS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Cardiology Children's Hospital Colorado Aurora Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"DUY THAI","family":"NGUYEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology University of Colorado Aurora Colorado"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.105.592352"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa050496"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa013168"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrthm.2012.04.026"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2004.08.044"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/eun319"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jelectrocard.2010.07.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1540-8167.2005.40590.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrthm.2009.07.037"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-197410000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/euj048"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2003.12.044"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijcard.2006.07.148"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjcard.2007.11.052"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11604-011-0565-y"}],"container-title":["Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fpace.12308","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/pace.12308","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,2]],"date-time":"2023-10-02T14:41:29Z","timestamp":1696257689000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/pace.12308"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,3]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/pace.12308"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/pace.12308","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0147-8389","1540-8159"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0147-8389","type":"print"},{"value":"1540-8159","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,3]]}}}
