Successful implantation of transveneous biventricular permanent pacemaker for refractory congestive heart failure: the first case-report in Thailand.

ABSTRACT

Biventricular pacemaker is a pacemaker that can pace both the right and left ventricle at the same time. There have been progression in the development of biventricular pacemaker from thoracotomy system to fully transveneous system. The benefit in improving quality of life in selected medical refractory congestive heart failure patients of this device had been shown in randomized controlled trials. The authors reported successful implantation fully transveneous biventricular pacemaker in Thailand.
