The first-to-market quadripolar pacemaker system offers more pacing options for patients with heart failure.
Quadripolar leads allow for increased implant efficiencies, which clinical data indicates can result in fewer surgical revisions.
Explaining how quadripolar technology works, Dr Anil Saxena of New Delhi-based Fortis Escorts Hospital says, "Historically, pacing systems that treat heart failure included a lead with only one electrode in the heart. Later, these were replaced by leads with two electrodes. Nearly 40% of patients do not effectively benefit from traditional pacing due to potential complications of cardiac resynchronization therapy such as high pacing thresholds, dislocation of the lead and occasional stimulation of the phrenic nerve, all of which require repeat surgeries. The new quadripolar technology has four electrodes and 10 programmable pacing configurations, allowing electrophysiologists to more effectively manage their patients with greater flexibility and improved patient outcomes."
Approximately one in 10 patients who receive a bipolar CRT system has complications that may require additional surgery. "Our new Allure Quadra pacemaker allows us to expand the proven clinical benefits of quadripolar technology to a new patient population," said Kaustav Banerjee, MD of St Jude Medical India.
"We believe these benefits result in a cost-effective solution that elevates the standard of care for heart failure patients in India who need cardiac resynchronization therapy."
