Positioning of intramural leads in the ventricles. (A) A schematic presentation of a typical location of the electrodes in relation to ventricular walls, cavities and ischemic regions on a cross-section. (B) A photograph of outside appearance of the explanted heart with electrodes in place after Evans blue infusion. See input (on the LV) and output (on the RV) points of three electrode-bearing threads. (C) A photograph of the ventricular cross-section with electrode-bearing thread (white arrows) in place coming through the LV and RV cavities and free walls. Dye-impregnated areas identify for the perfused (nonischemic) regions and a dye-free septum and adjacent free walls show the ischemic regions (black arrows). LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle.
