16 Subselection of Lateral Cardiac Vein during Quadripolar LV Lead Implant

17 Quadripolar LV Lead in case of LSVC

18 Benefits of 4Polar vs Bipolar LV Lead Linde C, Ellenbogen K, McAlister FA Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT): Clinical trials, guidelines, and target populations. Heart Rhythm Aug;9(8 Suppl):S3-S13. Offering Multiple Pacing Vectors to individually adjust LV Pacing in Long-Term. Less Phrenic Nerve Stimulation. Optimal PT (multiple vectors). Pacing Vectors to Optimize Hemodynamics. Better Lead Stability, Less Lead revision. Similar LV Lead Implantation

19 MORE-CRT Study Design Objective Number of patients enrolled Randomization prospective, randomized parallel open trial Determine if using a quadripolar CRT system results in better LV lead-related complication-free survival compared to bipolar CRT systems :2 (Bipolar*:Quadripolar) Primary Endpoint Survival free from composite endpoint of intra- and postoperative LV lead-related complications at 6 months *Control (bipolar LV leads) pts were further randomized to a 1:2 ratio of SJM to non-sjm manufacturer Intra-operative complications definition: Overall lead implant failure, PNS, lead instability, or high capture threshold that lead to >1 lead location attempt, >1 LV lead used, or use of device for lead fixation Post-operative complications definition: LV lead-related SAE or abandoned CRT for any reason

20 MORE-CRT Trial, N=1079 Intra & post-operative LV lead-related events between bipolar vs. SJM 4P CRT systems Quartet TM lead: increased freedom from events by 11.85% compared to bipolar LV leads A significant reduction in relative risk of 40.8% in the quadripolar CRT group 85.97% 76.86% p= months Boriani et al., Cardiac resynchronization therapy with a novel quadripolar lead decreases complications at six months: preliminary results of the MORE-CRT trial, ESC 2014, FP# 887

21 Quadripolar CRT system associated with increased survival compared to bipolar CRT system Patients with a quadripolar system may receive more effective CRT than those with bipolar LV pacing Methods N=23,178 (78% quadripolar vs. 22% bipolar) from SJM device registration records Survival analysis performed based on data obtained from Social Security Death Index. Results Quadripolar and bipolar groups had 5.88 and 7.23 deaths per patient-year, respectively (p = 0.003). After multivariate adjustment, the quadripolar lead was associated with a lower risk of death (HR 0.794, 95% CI [0.696, 0.906], p < 0.001). Turakhia M et al. Reduced mortality with quadripolar versus bipolar left ventricular leads in cardiac resynchronization therapy. HRS PO01-51.
