Endokardiale linksventrikuläre Stimulation im Jahr 2025
摘要
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has gained a new partner in the treatment of systolic heart failure with the possibility of lead system stimulation. In parallel, leadless systems for right ventricular stimulation are being used, particularly in cases of venous access problems, infections, or other complications associated with leads. Endocardial, leadless left ventricular stimulation has been in clinical use for over 10 years now and is continuously being developed. It offers the alternative of stimulating the left ventricle endocardially and leadlessly via a co-implant, either posterolateral–basal or at the left (Tawara) branch of the left ventricular endocardium. This article presents the development, previous challenges, and new approaches to the implantation of the WiSE-CRT system (wireless stimulation endocardially). In addition, the clinical data situation and current approvals will be discussed.
