Cryoablation-induced phrenic nerve dysfunction with preserved inspiratory function of the diaphragm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 49-year-old woman underwent cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Right phrenic nerve palsy developed during submaximal phrenic nerve stimulation. Despite the inability to stimulate the phrenic nerve with pacing, diaphragmatic excursion during inspiration was preserved. This case demonstrates that submaximal threshold stimulation allows detection of early phrenic nerve injury, with spontaneous diaphragmatic excursion still preserved.

متن کاملCervical magnetic stimulation as a method to discriminate between diaphragm and rib cage muscle fatigue.
Inspiratory muscle fatigue can probably determine hypercapnic respiratory failure. Diaphragm fatigue is detected by electrical phrenic stimulation (ELS), but there is no simple tool to assess rib cage muscle (RCM) fatigue. Cervical magnetic stimulation (CMS) costimulates the phrenic nerves and RCM. We reasoned that changes in transdiaphragmatic pressure twitch (Pdi,tw) with CMS and ELS should b...
متن کاملLambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome involving the diaphragm.
Inspiratory muscle function was assessed in a patient with the Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome that developed in association with a bronchogenic carcinoma. Repetitive maximal inspiratory pressure measurements and the electromyographic response to phrenic nerve stimulation established involvement of the inspiratory muscles in general and the diaphragm specifically in this condition.
متن کاملDiaphragmatic dysfunction and dyspnoea in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive disorder of unknown origin. Respiratory involvement is the principal cause of death, and dyspnoea is a major source of discomfort. In this study, diaphragm function is described and its relationship with dyspnoea examined in 48 ALS patients (32 male, age 26-80 yrs). The detailed neurological and respiratory evaluation (clinical examination, p...
متن کاملPartial Recovery of Respiratory Function and Diaphragm Reinnervation following Unilateral Vagus Nerve to Phrenic Nerve Anastomosis in Rabbits
Respiratory dysfunction is the leading cause of mortality following upper cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Reinnervation of the paralyzed diaphragm via an anastomosis between phrenic nerve and a donor nerve is a potential strategy to mitigate ventilatory deficits. In this study, anastomosis of vagus nerve (VN) to phrenic nerve (PN) in rabbits was performed to assess the potential capacity of ...
