Carillon can be implanted prior to CRT and may provide additional benefit to HF patients with FMR, low ejection fraction and wide QRS.
- Case study of a 45-year-old male with ischemic heart failure who underwent successful implantation of a Carillon device.
- The procedure resulted in clinical improvements and a decrease in FMR.
- Fifteen months post implant, the patient was a candidate for CRT and underwent successful implantation, which resulted in further improvement of clinical and echocardiographic parameters.
