New Pacemaker

Has anyone had the Medtronics new Attain Performa® Quadripolar Lead and Viva® Quad CRT-D implanted yet ? How long was surgery and what are the results ? Did it fix the LBB phrenic nerve problem ?

You are one of the leaders in the pack. That lead & PM combo was just approved by the FDA in August & available in Sept for general use! Go to this link to read all the particulars - it's a new generation in fixing LV problems that allows the Cardio to go beyond the simple CRT device. It reads like the equivalent of the Cochlear Implant device for people who have lost their hearing.
