An Unconventional Route of Left Ventricular Pacing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of a rare complication of transvenous right ventricular pacing by temporary pacing wire causing iatrogenic interventricular septal perforation and left ventricular pacing in a 69-year-old man who was referred for recurrent syncope with sinus arrest.

Pacemaker-mediated tachycardia in an unconventional resynchronization device.
A 67-year-old male patient with heart failure and permanent atrial fibrillation underwent atrio-ventricular nodal ablation and a biventricular device implantation. Instead of a standard cardiac resynchronization therapy device, a DDD pacemaker was implanted with the left ventricular lead in the atrial channel. After the implant, a pacemaker-mediated tachycardia caused by T wave oversensing by t...
متن کاملHow Harmful is Conventional Right Ventricular Apical Pacing? Iatrogenic Left Bundle Branch Block: Need for Alternate Site Pacing
The right ventricular (RV) apex has been used as the traditional pacing site since the development of transvenous pacing in 1959. Some studies suggest that pacing the RV apex may cause an “iatrogenic” left bundle branch block and remodeling of the left ventricle and is therefore harmful. In the past decade, the need for alternate site pacing became imperative and there have been a multitude of ...
متن کاملAcute left ventricular dysfunction secondary to right ventricular septal pacing in a woman with initial preserved contractility: a case report
INTRODUCTION Right ventricular apical pacing-related heart failure is reported in some patients after long-term pacing. The exact mechanism is not yet clear but may be related to left ventricular dyssynchrony induced by right ventricular apical pacing. Right ventricular septal pacing is thought to deteriorate left ventricular function less frequently because of a more normal left ventricular ac...
متن کاملDevelopment of a technique for left ventricular endocardial pacing via puncture of the interventricular septum.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) pacing through the coronary sinus is the standard approach for cardiac resynchronization therapy. When this route is unavailable, the alternatives have major limitations. LV endocardial pacing through the interventriuclar septum may offer a simpler solution. We describe an initial case series to demonstrate technical feasibility and to describe our refinement of...
متن کاملBiventricular pacing in patients with bradycardia and normal ejection fraction.
BACKGROUND Observational studies suggest that conventional right ventricular apical pacing may have a deleterious effect on left ventricular function. In this study, we examined whether biventricular pacing is superior to right ventricular apical pacing in preventing deterioration of left ventricular systolic function and cardiac remodeling in patients with bradycardia and a normal ejection fra...
