Transvenous dual‐chamber pacemaker after paediatric heart transplantation using left ventricle pacing through the coronary sinus
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 12-year-old child with end-stage heart failure due to restrictive cardiomyopathy was submitted to orthotopic heart transplantation. Primary graft dysfunction required venous arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. Heart function normalized, but complete atrioventricular block remained after 3 weeks. A dual-chamber pacing with transvenous left ventricle pacing through the coronary sinus was performed. At 5-year follow-up, the patient is stable with the same pacing system and with preserved ventricular function.

Dual-chamber pacemaker implantation with left ventricular pacing in a patient with a right ventricular assist device.
This is a case of a patient requiring pacemaker support after right ventricular assist device (RVAD) implantation. Due to complete heart blockafter right ventricular infarction, a pacemakerwith anatrial leadandaventricular lead into thecoronarysinuswas implanted.Although RVAD patients requiring pacemakers lack the typical RV implantation site for the ventricular lead, the coronary sinus can be ...
متن کاملCardiac Resynchronization Therapy Using a Dual Chamber Pacemaker in Patients with Severe Left Ventricular Dysfunction and a Left Bundle Branch Block
Through the use of a dual chamber (DDD) pacemaker, we achieved a cardiac resynchronization effect in a 51-year-old female patient who was transferred to our hospital from another hospital for an operation for three-vessel coronary artery disease. Her electrocardiogram showed a left bundle branch block (LBBB) and a prolonged QRS interval of 166 milliseconds. Severe left ventricle (LV) dysfunctio...

Transvenous pacemaker and/or defibrillator lead placement into the left heart chambers is rarely done. Approximately a third of such cases reported in the literature presented with signs of thromboembolism, mostly neurological deficits. We describe a patient who presented with a cerebrovascular accident three months after inadvertent and unrecognized lead placement into the left atrium and vent...
متن کاملInitial Experience of Biventricular Pacing in Patients with Chronic Severe Heart Failure
T he number of patients with chronic heart failure has increased substantially during the last few decades. The use of drugs such as the converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, ‚-blockers and spironolactone has led to significant reduction of the mortality and morbidity associated with this disabling syndrome. Despite this, the prognosis of patients with drug-resistant h...
متن کاملCase presentation: implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker via the coronary sinus in a patient with triple valve replacement
BACKGROUND In patients with triple valve replacement developing third-degree atrioventricular block (AVB), the most appropriate approach for permanent pacemaker implantation remains questionable. CASE PRESENTATION In this case presentation, we first described the approach of implantation of the cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (CRT-P) via one bipolar pacing lead in middle cardiac v...
