Right bundle branch block pattern after uncomplicated right ventricular outflow tract pacing in a patient with a left sided superior vena cava and corrected tetralogy of Fallot
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Detailed evaluation revealed an uncomplicated right ventricular outflow tract pacing. The possible causes of this abnormal pattern after an uncomplicated RV pacing are also reviewed.

Congenital aortocaval fistula in association with complex congenital heart disease has never been described before. We represent an adult with tetralogy of fallot and an undiagnosed subclavian artery to superior vena cava fistula in previous catheterisms. He underwent surgical correction, successfully. After 8 months post operation he was doing well with improved functional capacity and no ...
متن کاملPseudoaneurysm of Surgically Reconstructed Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Complicated by Superior Vena Cava Syndrome
Pseudoaneurysm of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) has been reported as a rare complication of RVOT reconstruction performed using conduit replacement or patch repair. Rarely, it may present alongside symptoms secondary to the compression of adjoining mediastinal structures. We report the case of a patient who developed a symptomatic RVOT pseudoaneurysm one month after a total correct...
متن کاملThe mechanism of apparent right bundle branch block after transatrial repair of tetralogy of Fallot.
The electrocardiographic pattern of right bundle branch block (RBBB) is routinely observed after transatrial repair of tetralogy of Fallot even though no ventriculotomy has been performed. The mechanism of this conduction disturbance was studied in 16 patients with tetralogy of Fallot and one patient with infundibular pulmonic stenosis. Preoperative ECGs and vectorcardiograms showed right ventr...

Retrospective analysis was performed to determine the likely cause of death in six patients who died suddenly 1-9 years after repair of tetralogy of Fallot. The integrity of the atrioventricular conduction system and myocardium was examined in three hearts at necropsy. Two of three patients who complained of palpitation or syncope had frequent premature ventricular complexes on routine ECGs. Al...

A 26-year-old woman born with Tetralogy of Fallot initially underwent a left Blalock-Taussig shunt followed by a complete repair with a transannular patch at 2 years of age. She complained of non-sustained short episodes of palpitations. Her Holter monitor showed episodes of six beat run of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. She was scheduled to undergo surgical pulmonary valve replacement....
