Left Internal Mammary Artery Injury After Pacemaker Lead Implant—Case Report and Review of Literature

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We hereby report a case of a 75‐year‐old patient who developed a large left‐sided hemopneumothorax after a routine dual‐chamber pacemaker insertion. The rare complication was caused by the pacing lead injuring the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) after perforating the right ventricle.

Single-chamber Versus Dual-chamber Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators: Do We Need Physiologic Pacing in The Course? [PDF]

, 2006
Background: Many patients with ICD receive different antiarrhythmic drugs (e.g. sotalol, amiodarone, β-blockers) because of ventricular or atrial tachycardias.

Comparing the effects of left bundle branch pacing and leadless right ventricular pacing on intraventricular and interventricular dyssynchrony using in silico modelling

Frontiers in Physiology
IntroductionNon-physiological right ventricular pacing (RVP) is currently the mainstay of treatment for patients with high-degree atrioventricular (AV) block who have preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.

Navigating the Zero Fluoroscopy Frontier: Current Tools, Evidence and Future Directions in Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to

Ultra-High-Frequency ECG in Cardiac Pacing and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: From Technical Concept to Clinical Application

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Identifying electrical dyssynchrony is crucial for cardiac pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The ultra-high-frequency electrocardiography (UHF-ECG) technique allows instantaneous dyssynchrony analyses with real-time visualization.

Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in High‐Risk Patients: Real‐World Outcomes From a Multicenter Israeli Registry

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Transvenous pacemakers are effective but carry significant short‐ and long‐term complications. Leadless pacemakers were developed to overcome these limitations, however, data in high‐risk patients ineligible for transvenous systems remain limited.

Idiopathic Fascicular Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]

, 2004
Idiopathic fascicular ventricular tachycardia is an important cardiac arrhythmia with specific electrocardiographic features and therapeutic options. It is characterized by relatively narrow QRS complex and right bundle branch block pattern. The QRS axis

Effectiveness of Bachmann's Bundle Pacing in a Patient With Severe Heart Failure and Refractory Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

J Arrhythm
This case report highlights CRT‐D with Bachmann's bundle pacing (BBP) in a patient with severe heart failure and refractory atrial fibrillation. BBP preserved atrioventricular conduction without PR prolongation, maintained left ventricular–only pacing, and was associated with suppression of atrial fibrillation and improvement in left atrial contractile

Internal Jugular Vein as an Alternative Access for Pacemaker Implantation: A Mostly Left IJ Case Series

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Leadless pacemakers traditionally rely on femoral venous access, which may be limited in patients with unfavorable IVC anatomy, prior interventions, or situations where preserving femoral access is preferred. Internal jugular (IJ) access offers an alternative route, but real‐world data on IJ implantation of single‐ and dual‐chamber ...
