Right bundle branch block during transvenous ventricular pacing.

چکیده

Cardiac pacing through a transvenous catheter located in the right ventricle usually produces a pattern of left bundle branch block (LBBB). When right bundle branch block (RBBB) occurs during apparent right ventricular pacing, a complication (perforation or malposition of the catheter) has usually occurred. In the patient reported here, uncomplicated right ventricular transvenous pacing produced RBBB. Recognition of this uncommon event is important because it may save the patient the risk and inconvenience of repositioning a properly functioning pacing catheter.

Case Report Safe Right Bundle Branch Block Pattern During Permanent Right Ventricular Pacing

It is known that an electrocardiogram (ECG) after transvenous right ventricular (RV) pacing should yield left bundle branch block (LBBB) QRS patterns. When right bundle branch block (RBBB) pacing morphology appears in a patient with a permanent or temporary transvenous RV pacemaker, myocardial perforation or malposition of the pacing lead must be ruled out, even though the patient may be asympt...

Comparative efficacy of transvenous cardioversion and pacing in patients with sustained ventricular tachycardia: a prospective, randomized, crossover study.

We performed a prospective, randomized crossover study to evaluate the comparative efficacy of transvenous cardioversion and rapid ventricular pacing for termination of induced ventricular tachycardia in patients with spontaneous ventricular tachycardia and organic heart disease. Sixty-two episodes of ventricular tachycardia were induced in 15 patients, mean age 60 +/- 10 years, during electrop...

Safe right bundle branch block pattern during permanent right ventricular pacing: a case report.

We present the case of a 72-year-old male who underwent a permanent transvenous DDD pacemaker implantation for symptomatic complete heart block. The postoperative surface electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed a right bundle branch block (RBBB) pacing pattern with transition in lead V3 and left bundle branch block (LBBB) in D1, suggesting a malpositioned ventricular lead in the left heart. Malpositio...

Ventricular asystole during pulmonary artery catheter insertion.

669 September 2015 A the overall pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) use has decreased, it remains a valuable tool in select patients. PAC insertion may result in ventricular or supraventricular dysrhythmias due to contact of the catheter with the cardiac chamber walls. The use of balloon-tipped catheters during insertion serves to increase the catheter tip surface area, thereby mitigating applied ...
