Summary

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the use of robotically -assisted device leads as a primary strategy for heart resynchronization.This trials aims to compare transvenous lead placement with robotic lead placement for cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Primary epicardial placement of left ventricular lead

Epicardial leads will be placed on the left ventricle in the area of the most dyssynchrony . the leads will be attached to a Medtronic Cardiac resynchronization/ AICD/ device

PROCEDURE

Transvenous placement of left ventricular lead

Conventional placement of left ventricular leads performed in the electrophysiology department.
