SANS FLUORO Optimized: A Case Report of Pulmonary Vein Isolation in a Patient with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator and the Optimizer™ III Device

Abstract

We offer the first reported case of a pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) procedure performed in a patient with two devices, specifically a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) and an Optimizer™ III device (Impulse Dynamics, Mount Laurel, NJ, USA), using the SANS FLUORO technique with zero fluoroscopy. In total, this patient had six leads traversing the right atrium, including two right atrial leads, three right ventricular leads-two associated with the Optimizer™ system and one implantable cardiac defibrillator lead-and a left ventricular lead.
