Improving Delivery and Optimizing Pacing Performance.•Industry‘s smallest diameter [1,2,3] atraumatic tip (2.6F) with small diameter silicone distal sections on all lead models designed to track into tortuous vasculature.
• Three tip configuration designs are intended to provide choices for a variety of patient anatomies.
•Inner catheter deliverable to provide additional options for lead placement.
•Dual Fixation: silicone rubber tines and a distal, 3D shape on spiral models designed to provide an additional or alternative passive fixation option.
•Electrodes on the 3D spiral help overcome challenges in mid-base (proximal) ventricular regions:
- The 3D shape presses electrodes against vessel walls, thereby improving the threshold performance of proximal electrodes [4].
- Electrodes oriented around the circumference of the spiral increase the chances that at least one of three electrodes will be adjacent to the myocardium in any coronary vasculature location.
Redefining Quadripolar Pacing to Improve CRT Response •Only Boston Scientific offers quadripolar technology with multiple electrode configuration options to allow the lead to be fixated distally and tailor the electrode placement to the patient's anatomy, which may promote basal or mid-ventricular pacing.
•An industry-leading 17 pacing vectors are available when used with a Boston Scientific X4 CRT-D or X4 CRT-P. Using LV VectorGuide™ will streamline testing and help you quickly determine the optimal pacing configuration for each X4 CRT-D patient.
