Two-dimensional echocardiograms of a transvenous left ventricular pacing catheter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A permanent transvenous pacemaker lead was placed across the atrial septum and retained in the left ventricle for eight years. M-mode echocardiograms showed a linear echocardiographic density in the left atrium and mitral valve. Cross-sectional echocardiograms further defined the location and course of the pacing lead.

Right 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...
متن کاملComparative effcacy 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. Sixtytwo episodes of ventricular tachycardia were induced in 15 patients, mean age 60 + 10 years, during electrophys...
متن کاملTemporary transvenous catheter-electrode pacing of the heart.
Experience with 110 separate periods of transvenous cardiac pacing by means of a catheter-electrode in 91 patients has been reviewed. Indications for the use of the catheter-electrode included (1) complete heart block with and without Adams-Stokes syndrome, (2) other arrhythmias with and without cardiogenic syncope, (3) malfunction of previously implanted permanent pacemaker units, and (4) need...

متن کاملFeasibility and Acute Hemodynamic Effect of Left Ventricular Septal Pacing by Transvenous Approach Through the Interventricular Septum.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular septal (LVS) pacing reduces ventricular dyssynchrony and improves cardiac function relative to right ventricular apex (RVA) pacing in animals. We aimed to establish permanent placement of an LVS pacing lead in patients using a transvenous approach through the interventricular septum. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten patients with sinus node dysfunction scheduled for dual-ch...
