Leadless pacemaker implantation in a patient with complex congenital heart disease and limited vascular access
نویسندگان
چکیده
Management of rhythm related issues might be particularly challenging in patients with congenital heart disease due to complex anatomy and restricted vascular access. The leadless technology appears a suitable and attractive alternative for this population. We describe a patient with single ventricle physiology who successfully underwent implantation of a leadless pacemaker.

Background: Neonatal lupus erythematosus is an uncommon disease. Congenital complete heart block (CCHB) usually happens in neonates with maternal systemic lupus erythematosus. The most prevalent presentation of CCHBis bradycardiathatcanbediagnosed through an electrocardiogram. Case report: Here in, we present the case of a full-term male neonate with gestational age of 37 weeks and birth weigh...

The development of the implantable cardiac pacemaker nearly 60 years ago represented a paradigm shift in the control of potentially lethal heart rhythms and has revolutionized the lives of those at risk of sudden death from bradycardia. Subsequent technological developments have resulted in devices that offer additional benefits to patients, including defibrillation and resychronisation therapy...
متن کاملRescue Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in a Pacemaker-Dependent Patient with Congenital Heart Disease and no Alternative Routes for Pacing.
Congenital heart disease patients are considered a unique group of patients regarding their high risk of conduction abnormalities , whether de novo or surgically induced , and the challenges in both implantation and management of device related complications. We present a case of a pacemaker-dependent patient with congenital heart disease who experienced complications of both previous epicardia...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Pacing and Defibrillation
Most current pacemaker and ICD systems involve placement of lead(s) transvenously into the heart, connected to a pulse generator. Vascular access may be difficult or limited in some patients, and intravascular leads can be associated with multiple complications such as infection, lead malfunction and vascular occlusion. Recent advances in pacing and ICDs include the development of subcutaneous ...
متن کاملECGs and Pacemakers
Leadless pacemakers will most likely be the future of cardiac pacing. Leadless pacing employs a singlechamber system to pace only the right ventricle and is fully self-contained, which eliminates the need for leads. These systems, implanted by using a transcatheter sheath, are indicated for patients who need right ventricular pacing only. These devices enable patients to avoid lead-related comp...
