A plea for the single-lead ICD with atrial sensing due to anatomical considerations.

چکیده
We present the case of a 46-year old male patient suffering from non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and intermittent atrial tachycardia. According to guidelines an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) was planned to implant through the left subclavian vein. During the procedure the angiography revealed a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) with moderate stenosis of the subclavian vein. Due to this we decided not to implant a dual chamber ICD but to implant a single chamber lead with additional atrial sensing capacity. The procedure as well as the follow-up was uneventful. Follow-up revealed good ventricular as well as atrial signals.

In patients known to be a high risk for sudden cardiac arrest, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are a proven therapy to reduce risk of death. However, in patients without conventional indications for pacing, the optimal strategy for type of device, dual- versus single-chamber, remains debatable. The benefit of prophylactic pacing in this category of patients has never been document...
متن کاملImplantation of single lead cardioverter defibrillator with floating atrial sensing dipole in a pregnant patient without using fluoroscopy
In this case report, we look into the implant procedure of a single-lead ICD with floating atrial sensing dipole in a pregnant woman, without using fluoroscopy. This system benefits the proper positioning of the lead. This is possible thanks to the simultaneous display of both the atrial and ventricular dipoles on the electro-anatomical mapping system. This technique may be taken into considera...

Background—Supraventricular tachyarrhythmias are the main cause for inappropriate therapy by implantable cardioverterdefibrillators (ICDs). For better rhythm discrimination, an atrial electrogram is helpful and usually obtained from an additional atrial lead, even in the absence of sinus node or atrioventricular nodal disease. An A -ICD system with integrated atrial sensing rings mounted 15 to ...
