Long term transvenous ventricular pacing in adults with congenital abnormalities of the heart and great arteries.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Improved techniques of transvenous pacing have made it possible to use this approach in various congenital cardiac abnormalities. Transvenous active fixation pacing leads were implanted in seven patients aged 15 to 81 years with abnormal venous, atrioventricular, or ventriculoarterial connections with successful ventricular pacing.

Pacing in patients with congenital heart disease: part 1
The vast majority of patients requiring pacemaker or defibrillator implantation have structurally normal hearts and patients with congenital cardiac abnormalities constitute only a small proportion. The latter can be divided into two groups. The first includes those with undiscovered congenital abnormalities, which do not give rise to symptoms or obvious physical signs, such as dextrocardia, pe...
متن کاملResynchronization therapy transvenous approach in dextrocardia and congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an acknowledged treatment for advanced heart failure in acquired dilated cardiomyopathy, resistant to pharmacotherapy. Although there are no therapeutic standards regarding heart failure originating from congenital heart defects with systemic right ventricle, a number of CRT implantations by transvenous approach in congenitally corrected transposition ...

BACKGROUND Although dual-chamber pacing improves cardiac function in patients with complete congenital atrioventricular block (CCAVB) by restoring physiological heart rate and atrioventricular synchronization, the long-term detrimental effect of asynchronous electromechanical activation induced by apical right ventricular pacing (RVP) has not been well clarified. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-th...

Percutaneous catheter mapping and radiofrequency ablation of the AV node-His bundle system (with subsequent transvenous endocardial ventricular pacing) were performed on an 18-year-old woman with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum and chronic arrhythmias 15 years following a Mustard operation. Exclusion of the AV conduction tissue from the systemic venous circulat...
متن کاملThe Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator: Not For All
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have a proven role in primary and secondary prevention of sudden death from ventricular arrhythmias. Transvenous ICD systems despite this proven benefit, have been plagued by lead problems including fracture, insulation breaks and recalls; and issues with transvenous access including pneumothorax and venous obstruction. Infected or fractured leads ...
