Simultaneous atrioventricular node ablation and leadless pacemaker implantation☆☆☆
Introduction The ablate-and-pace technique is a well-established method to treat patients with persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with poor rate control on medical therapy.1 The technique represents a class IIa indication to control heart rates when pharmacologic therapy is insufficient or intolerable.2 As many of these patients are in permanent atrial fibrillation, they frequently r...
متن کامل[Ventricular pacing after atrioventricular node ablation].
We have read with interest the article by Dr. Moriña et al1 describing their initial experience with implantation of active fixation electrodes in the His bundle for permanent ventricular stimulation following ablation of the AV node. Their results are interesting as they establish stimulation threshold parameters and stable echocardiography measures after only a few months followup. Neverthele...
متن کاملMalfunction of an MRI-Conditional Pacemaker Following an MRI
Figure 2 Also from the initial interrogation of device. Note the date of SureScan on and off, 16-Jan-1996 (underlined in red), and the evidence of pacer dependence, with 499.9% ventricular pacing. Introduction Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices were historically unable to undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In 2011 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first MRI ...

متن کاملTriboelectric simulation of pacemaker malfunction.
We report the occurrence of a triboelectric phenomenon (static electricity) that mimicked malfunction of a contemporary pacemaker by creating an electrocardiograpic artifact virtually identical to the pacemaker stimuli. The diagnosis was established by observing a subtle overshoot of the questionable deflection that was absent from pacemaker stimuli.
