Simultaneous atrioventricular node ablation and leadless pacemaker implantation☆☆☆
Introduction The ablate-and-pace technique is a well-established method to treat patients with persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with poor rate control on medical therapy.1 The technique represents a class IIa indication to control heart rates when pharmacologic therapy is insufficient or intolerable.2 As many of these patients are in permanent atrial fibrillation, they frequently r...
متن کاملIntrinsic Atrioventricular Node Conduction Recovery After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation and the Permanent Pacemaker Implantation Enigma
The prevalence of degenerative valvular diseases such as aortic stenosis has continued to rise due to an increase in the aging population globally [1, 2]. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged to the forefront of severe aortic stenosis treatment, starting with high-risk surgical patients [1, 2]. The minimally invasive approach of TAVI, as established from the promising resu...
متن کاملImplantation of a leadless cardiac pacemaker for recurrent pocket infections
Infections involving cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) remain an unfortunate indication for repeated device-related procedures, including extractions and reimplantations. Recurrent infections involving transvenous leads and superficial device pockets may eventually lead to epicardial lead implantation and generator placement in deeper tissue planes, both of which require a m...
متن کامل[Ventricular pacing after atrioventricular node ablation].
We have read with interest the article by Dr. Moriña et al1 describing their initial experience with implantation of active fixation electrodes in the His bundle for permanent ventricular stimulation following ablation of the AV node. Their results are interesting as they establish stimulation threshold parameters and stable echocardiography measures after only a few months followup. Neverthele...
متن کاملLeadless pacemaker implantation in a patient with complex congenital heart disease and limited vascular access
Management of rhythm related issues might be particularly challenging in patients with congenital heart disease due to complex anatomy and restricted vascular access. The leadless technology appears a suitable and attractive alternative for this population. We describe a patient with single ventricle physiology who successfully underwent implantation of a leadless pacemaker.
