Complex regional pain syndrome induced by pacemaker implantation for sick sinus syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 53-year-old woman reported burning pain, muscle weakness, and dysesthesia of the left arm 2 months after permanent pacemaker insertion in the ipsilateral side for the treatment of sick sinus syndrome. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) induced by pacemaker implantation was diagnosed. In 2017, her pulse generator became exhausted and was exchanged carefully to avoid exacerbation of CRPS, under the application of local anesthesia and premedication. Six months later, the patient's grip strength in her left hand remained lower relative to that in her right hand. Although rare, the presence of CRPS following device implantation should be remembered.

متن کاملIsolated Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava, Sick Sinus Syndrome, and Challenging Pacemaker Implantation
Persistent left superior vena cava with absent right superior vena cava is a very rare venous anomaly and is known as isolated PLSVC. It is usually an asymptomatic anomaly and is mostly detected during difficult central venous access or pacemaker implantation, though it could also be associated with an increased incidence of congenital heart disease, arrhythmias, and conduction disturbances. He...
متن کاملThe origins of the sinus node pacemaker complex in man: demonstration of dominant and subsidiary foci.
To test the hypothesis that the human sinus node is capable of demonstrating multiple sites of impulse generation, we assessed spontaneous shifts in the sinus node pacemaker complex, and shifts after overdrive atrial pacing, premature atrial stimulation and carotid sinus massage. A total of 24 patients aged 59 +/- 15 years (mean +/- SD) in whom stable sinus node electrograms were obtained were ...

Symptomatic supraventricular tachycardia is a common indication for radiofrequency catheter ablation treatment. Often, supraventricular tachycardia is associated with sick sinus syndrome, which requires the implantation of a permanent pacemaker. Underlying structural heart diseases such as complex congenital anomalies or a history of prior cardiac surgery can hinder successful procedural treatm...
