微创胸腔镜心外膜电极技术和冠状静脉窦电极技术进行心脏再同步治疗的比较研究

Objective To compare the minimally invasive surgical implantation of left ventricular epicardial electrode technique and coronary vein sinus endocardial electrode technique for cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT) in cardiomyopathy heart failure. Methods During April 2007 to May 2009 total 28 patients were diagnosed as advanced heart failure with cardiac dysynchronization through ECG and Tissue Doppler Echos. Ten received surgical epicardial electrode implantation ( group 1 ) and 18 received coronary sinus electrode implantation ( group 2). For the group 1 patients, the electrodes were placed in right atrial and ventricle guided by X ray under the general anesthesia. The right atrial and ventricle electrodes were connected with the three chamber pacemaker. The Tissue Doppler Echo TEE technique was used to search suitable left ventricle place for the ideal CRT therapy. Then the epicardial electrode was fixed at the ideal place. The resynchronization features were examined after surgery during the follow of 5 ～ 24 months. Results The endocardial and epicardial electrodes were implanted successfully without any serious complication in group 1 patients. All patients were discharged without any adverse cardiac episodes. For the group 1 patients during the 5 ～ 24 months follow-up the left ventricle maximize delay time decreased from ( 390. 7 ± 42.1) ms to ( 135.7 ± 37.2 ) ms, the left dysynchronization index (Ts-SD) decreased from ( 143.7 ±30. 1 ) ms to (50. 3 ±22. 3) ms,the inter-ventricle mechanical delay time (IVMD) decreased from (57.7 ±24. 9) ms to (27.0 ± 10. 8) ms,left ventricle end-dilation diameters (LVEDD) increased from (71.3 ± 12. 8) mm to (62. 3 ±6. 5) mm and the left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) increased from 0. 320 ±0. 007 to 0. 400 ±0. 006. For the group 2 patients during the follow up period the left ventricle maximize delay time decreased from (396. 7 ± 36. 1 ) ms to (293.7 ± 119. 2)ms,Ts-SD decreased from ( 147.7 ± 22. 1 ) ms to (96. 3 ± 34.3) ms,IVMD decreased from ( 59.7 ± 35.9 ) ms to (27.0±25.8) ms,LVEDD increased from (71.3 ±9.8) mm to (67.3 ±9.5) mm and LVEF increased from 0. 281 ±0. 077 to 0. 330 ±0. 076. The left ventricle resynchronization results were better in the group 1 cases. Conclusion Cardiac resynchronization results were good in both groups and the surgical epicardial therapy could improve the left ventricle resynchronization.
