Case Report Safe Right Bundle Branch Block Pattern During Permanent Right Ventricular Pacing
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 asymptomatic. We report a case of a 77-year-old man who underwent permanent transvenous VDD pacemaker implantation for symptomatic heart block. The postoperative ECG revealed a RBBB pacing configuration, but his chest X-ray and echocardiographic studies confirmed uncomplicated RV pacing. We review and discuss the literature concerning the differential diagnosis of such a safe RBBB ECG pattern.

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...

Usually an electrocardiogram after right ventricular (RV) pacing should yield left bundle branch block (LBBB) pattern. However, the presence of right bundle branch block (RBBB) pattern after pacemaker implantation should alert the physician to a malposition of lead. We report a case of 18-year-old female who underwent dual chamber pacemaker implantation and had RBBB pattern post implantation. D...
متن کاملRight bundle branch block during transvenous ventricular pacing.
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 produce...

Permanent His bundle pacing (HBP) is a physiological alternative to right ventricular pacing. Acute injury to the His bundle can occur during permanent HBP in the form of transient or permanent bundle branch blocks. Observations of mechanical injury to the His bundle during HBP lead fixation and electrophysiological response to HBP provides additional mechanistic insights into the pathology of ...
