Implantation of single lead cardioverter defibrillator with floating atrial sensing dipole in a pregnant patient without using fluoroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this case report, we look into the implant procedure of a single-lead ICD with floating atrial sensing dipole in a pregnant woman, without using fluoroscopy. This system benefits the proper positioning of the lead. This is possible thanks to the simultaneous display of both the atrial and ventricular dipoles on the electro-anatomical mapping system. This technique may be taken into consideration for the few rare cases where fluoroscopy is absolutely contraindicated.

In patients known to be a high risk for sudden cardiac arrest, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are a proven therapy to reduce risk of death. However, in patients without conventional indications for pacing, the optimal strategy for type of device, dual- versus single-chamber, remains debatable. The benefit of prophylactic pacing in this category of patients has never been document...

BACKGROUND Single-lead for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) with floating atrial sensing dipole is a new diagnostic tool with the potential advantage in terms of arrhythmia discrimination. We sought to determine whether right heart size and dipole position influence atrial sensing. METHODS Atrial sensing (AS) amplitude was measured during implantation (PP, periprocedural), predisc...

Background: Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. However, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus and i...
