Dual-chamber pacemaker implantation with left ventricular pacing in a patient with a right ventricular assist device.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is a case of a patient requiring pacemaker support after right ventricular assist device (RVAD) implantation. Due to complete heart blockafter right ventricular infarction, a pacemakerwith anatrial leadandaventricular lead into thecoronarysinuswas implanted.Although RVAD patients requiring pacemakers lack the typical RV implantation site for the ventricular lead, the coronary sinus can be used alternatively.

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with dextrocardia situs inversus
Background: Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. However, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus and i...
متن کاملPacemaker Twiddler's Syndrome
A 76-yr-old man with unipolar ventricular pacemaker, previously implanted in the right ventricular apex, presented with syncopal attack and twitching of the right pectoralis muscle. He finally was diagnosed as having Twiddler's syndrome. The patient had a pulse rate of 36/min and cannon waves in the neck veins. Chest radiography showed a dislodged pacing lead completely wrapped around the pulse...
متن کاملRight bundle branch block pattern during right ventricular permanent pacing: Is it safe or not?
The present case report describes a patient with dual chamber pacemaker whose surface ECG demonstrated paced right bundle branch block pattern suggesting a malpositioned ventricular lead in the left ventricle. However, diagnostic work-up revealed that the lead was appropriately located in the right ventricular apex. Diagnostic maneuvers and clues for differentiating safe right bundle branch blo...
متن کاملOptimal pacing for right ventricular and biventricular devices: minimizing, maximizing, and right ventricular/left ventricular site considerations.
The results from numerous clinical studies provide guidance for optimizing outcomes related to RV or biventricular pacing in the pacemaker and ICD populations. (1) Programming algorithms to minimize RV pacing is imperative in patients with dual-chamber pacemakers who have intrinsic AV conduction or intermittent AV conduction block. (2) Dual-chamber ICDs should be avoided in candidates without a...
متن کاملDual Chamber Pacing in a Patient of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Failure to Wean from Mechanical Ventilator
We discuss the case of a 63 years old female who required repeated intubation due to recurrent pulmonary edema. She was found to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with a gradient of 82 mmHg across the left ventricular outflow tract. Initially adequate rate control and treatment with negative inotropes did not help her condition. Finally a dual chamber pacemaker implantation and atrioventricular ...
