Single site pacing through the anterior interventricular vein in a patient with a mechanic tricuspid valve
نویسندگان
چکیده
Transvenous endocardial pacing through classical implantation of a pace/sensing lead in the right ventricle is strictly contraindicated in patients with a mechanical tricuspid valve. Usually permanent pacing is achieved by an epimyocardial surgical approach. We hereby describe the implantation of a single site left ventricle pacing lead in the anterior interventricular vein in a 60 year-old woman with symptomatic bradycardia, permanent atrial fibrillation, and mechanical tricuspid valve. The described use of left ventricle pacing through a coronary vein lead, in a patient with favorable venous anatomy, provided (through a minimal invasive approach) effective with a low and stable threshold.

Case presentation: implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker via the coronary sinus in a patient with triple valve replacement
BACKGROUND In patients with triple valve replacement developing third-degree atrioventricular block (AVB), the most appropriate approach for permanent pacemaker implantation remains questionable. CASE PRESENTATION In this case presentation, we first described the approach of implantation of the cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P) via one bipolar pacing lead in middle cardiac v...
متن کاملThe localisation of the electrode in permanently paced heart--an echocardiographical study.
UNLABELLED Permanent cardiac pacing is a widely applied procedure in invasive cardiology. The aim of our study was the analysis of the localisation of the tip of the pacemaker lead and its course in the right ventricle. Research was carried out on a group of 12 patients (5F, 7M), from 40 to 93 years of age (average 70 +/- 15 yrs) with permanent cardiac pacing or implantable cardioverter-defibri...

A 65-year-old man with a permanent pacemaker placed for atrioventricular block presented to the emergency department with 4 days of fever, gastrointestinal complaints, and back pain. On presentation, he was febrile, tachycardic, and hypotensive, with a significant leukocytosis. Urine and blood cultures grew methicillin-sensitive staphylococcus aureus in 6/6 bottles. The patient was initiated on...
متن کاملMulti-site multi-polar left ventricular pacing through persistent left superior vena cava in tricuspid valve disease
Multi-site multi-polar left ventricular pacing through the coronary sinus (CS) may be preferred over endocardial right ventricular or surgical epicardial pacing in the presence of tricuspid valve disease. However, the required lead placement can be difficult through a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), as the CS tends to be hugely dilated and side branches tend to have sharp angulation...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Pacing in a Patient with a Mechanical Tricuspid Prosthesis and High Surgical Risk
Transvenous endocardial pacemaker (PM) implantation is contraindicated in patients with a mechanical tricuspid prosthesis. These patients usually undergo epicardial lead implantation. This case shows the implant of left ventricular (LV) pacing lead through the coronary sinus (CS) in a patient with high surgical risk. A 77-year-old woman with slow atrial fibrillation, left anterior hemiblock and...
