When this route is unavailable, the alternatives have major limitations. LV endocardial pacing through the interventriuclar septum may offer a simpler solution. We describe an initial case series to demonstrate technical feasibility and to describe our refinement of the puncture technique.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods and Results\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Ten patients with previous failed coronary sinus lead implant or with nonresponse to cardiac resynchronization therapy and a suboptimal LV lead position were selected. All patients were anticoagulated. Left ventriculography and coronary angiography were performed to identify LV borders and septal vessels. Subclavian vein access was used for a superior approach ventricular transseptal puncture under fluoroscopic guidance, using a steerable sheath and a standard transseptal needle, radiofrequency needle, or radiofrequency energy delivered through a guidewire. An active-fixation pacing lead was successfully delivered to the endocardial wall of the lateral LV in all patients (9 men; age, 62\u00b110 years). LV lead implant procedure time shortened with experience. The use of radiofrequency energy delivered through a guidewire was the most effective technique. Mean threshold and R wave at implant were 0.8\u00b10.3 V and 10.8\u00b13.9 mV. At follow-up (mean, 8.7 months; minimum, 0; and maximum 19), thresholds were stable, and there were no thromboembolic events. Of 9 patients, 8 were classed as clinical responders (1 had inadequate follow-up to assess response).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>LV endocardial pacing through a ventricular septal puncture is a feasible approach for cardiac resynchronization therapy.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1161\/circep.113.001110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,15]],"date-time":"2014-01-15T06:11:20Z","timestamp":1389766280000},"page":"17-22","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Development of a Technique for Left Ventricular Endocardial Pacing via Puncture of the Interventricular Septum"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Tim R.","family":"Betts","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Oxford Heart Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, Oxford, United Kingdom (T.R.B., J.H.P.G., R.K., Y.B., K.R.); and Department of Cardiology, Milton Keynes Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom (R.K.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James H.P.","family":"Gamble","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Oxford Heart Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, Oxford, United Kingdom (T.R.B., J.H.P.G., R.K., Y.B., K.R.); and Department of Cardiology, Milton Keynes Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom (R.K.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raj","family":"Khiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Oxford Heart Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, Oxford, United Kingdom (T.R.B., J.H.P.G., R.K., Y.B., K.R.); and Department of Cardiology, Milton Keynes Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom (R.K.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yaver","family":"Bashir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Oxford Heart Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, Oxford, United Kingdom (T.R.B., J.H.P.G., R.K., Y.B., K.R.); and Department of Cardiology, Milton Keynes Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom (R.K.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kim","family":"Rajappan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Oxford Heart Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, Oxford, United Kingdom (T.R.B., J.H.P.G., R.K., Y.B., K.R.); and Department of Cardiology, Milton Keynes Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom (R.K.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1009540"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1210356"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/eum080"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2008.06.046"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcmg.2009.11.016"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa0906431"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehl379"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.2010.03014.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/eup048"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.1998.tb01133.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/eum176"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","volume-title":"In: Modern Pacemakers\u2014Present and Future","author":"Van Gelder BM","year":"2011","unstructured":"Van Gelder BM, Houthuizen P, Scheffer MG, Dekker L, Bracke FA.
