Epicardial pacing lead fixation is employed in patients with cavopulmonary anastamosis (Glenn shunts) when they need permanent pacing. Epicardial pacing in these patients may malfunction due to high pacing thresholds or diaphragmatic pacing. A novel technique of transatrial insertion of two endocardial screw-in pacing leads through right anterolateral minithoracotomy could achieve synchronous atrioventricular pacing in a patient with Ebsteins anomaly with symptomatic sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodal disease. 相似文献

BackgroundLeft bundle branch (LBB) pacing is a novel pacing technique which may serve as an alternative to both right ventricular pacing for symptomatic bradycardia and cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT). A substantial amount of data is reported by relatively few, highly experienced centres. This study describes the first experience of LBB pacing in a high-volume device centre.MethodsSuccess rates (i.e. the ability to achieve LBB pacing), electrophysiological parameters and complications at implant and up to 6 months of follow-up were prospectively assessed in 100 consecutive patients referred for various pacing indications.ResultsThe mean age was 71 ± 11 years and 65% were male. Primary pacing indication was atrioventricular (AV) block in 40%, CRT in 42%, and sinus node dysfunction or refractory atrial fibrillation prior to AV node ablation in 9% each. Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction was < 50% in 57% of patients, mean baseline QRS duration 145 ± 34 ms. Overall LBB pacing was successful in 83 of 100 (83%) patients but tended to be lower in patients with CRT pacing indication (69%, p = ns). Mean left ventricular activation time (LVAT) during LBB pacing was 81 ms and paced QRS duration was 120 ± 19 ms. LBB capture threshold and R‑wave sense at implant was 0.74 ± 0.4 mV at 0.4 ms and 11.9 ± 5.9 V and remained stable at 6‑month follow-up. No complications occurred during implant or follow-up.ConclusionLBB pacing for bradycardia pacing and resynchronisation therapy can be easily adopted by experienced implanters, with favourable success rates and safety profile. 相似文献

BackgroundSemi-permanent pacing (SPP) includes the placement of a permanent lead through the internal jugular vein and connection to a pulse generator on the skin outside the venous access site.AimTo evaluate the clinical profile and outcomes of semi-permanent pacing in a tertiary care institute in Southern India.MethodsThis is a retrospective observational study. All patients admitted and requiring management with semi-permanent pacing from January 2017 to June 2020 were included.ResultsFrom January 2017 to June 2020, 20 patients underwent semi-permanent pacing (SPP) with a median age of 54 (21–74) years. Males comprised a majority of the patients (55%). Hypertension was noted in 50% of patients and 30% were diabetic. The right internal jugular vein was the most common access in 95% of patients. The most common indication for semi-permanent pacing was pocket site infection in 30% of patients. There were no procedural complications. The median duration on SPP was 7 (5–14) days and the median duration of hospital stay was 13 (8–21) days. Permanent pacemaker implantation was done in 55% of patients. Mortality in our study group was 15% with 10% dying due to cardiogenic shock (post resuscitated cardiac arrest) and 5% dying due to non-cardiac cause (Epidural hematoma).ConclusionIn our study, semi-permanent pacing was noted to be a safe procedure and was more commonly indicated in emergent conditions with complete heart block secondary to underlying reversible causes and in the management of pocket site infection. 相似文献

Parahisian pacing (PHP) is a useful maneuver during electrophysiology study of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) especially when the tachycardia is non-sustained. Various responses during PHP can differentiate between the routes of VA conduction (VAC). In a case of WPW syndrome with orthodromic re-entrant tachycardia, we encountered various responses which one must be cognizant about to avoid erroneous conclusions. Along with para-hisian capture and only ventricular capture, simultaneous atrial capture (SAC) and pure His capture were also noted. Moreover, during pure-His capture underlying distal antegrade right bundle branch block (RBBB) was encountered making it an intriguing case. 相似文献

BackgroundThe leadless pacemaking transcatheter system, Micra, is a miniaturized, single-chamber pacemaker system. We report herein our experience with implantation of the Micra TPS system.ObjectiveThe current study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the leadless Micra Transcatheter Pacemaker System (Medtronic).Research design and methodsThis was a prospective single centre nonrandomized study without controls. A transcatheter pacemaker was implanted in patients who had guideline based indications for ventricular pacing. 28 subjects were screened based on the selection criteria. Mica TPS was implanted. Parameters assessed were: duration of procedure (from femoral vein puncture to venous access closure), fluoroscopy time, number of device repositions, periprocedural electrical measurements (sensing, threshold and impedance) and in-hospital, intermediate to long term adverse events related to procedure.Result and conclusions: The device was successfully implanted in 28 subjects. The mean intraoperative sensing value was 9.04 ± 1.5 mV and the impedance was 766.89 ± 213.9 Ω. At discharge from hospital, those values were 13.2 ± 15.83 mV and 855 ± 111.7, respectively. The recommended pacing threshold value as achieved in all subjects was 0.78 V, i.e. ≤ 1 V at 0.24 ms. There was no adverse event or complications reported for any of the subjects. Mean time from hospitalization to discharge was 1.5 days. Implantation of leadless pacemakers is feasible, safe and provides advantages over the conventional system. 相似文献

BackgroundLeft bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has recently been introduced as a physiological pacing technique with synchronous left ventricular activation. It was our aim to evaluate the feasibility and learning curve of the technique, as well as the electrical characteristics of LBBAP.Methods and resultsLBBAP was attempted in 80 consecutive patients and electrocardiographic characteristics were evaluated during intrinsic rhythm, right ventricular septum pacing (RVSP) and LBBAP. Permanent lead implantation was successful in 77 of 80 patients (96%). LBBAP lead implantation time and fluoroscopy time shortened significantly from 33 ± 16 and 21 ± 13 min to 17 ± 5 and 12 ± 7 min, respectively, from the first 20 to the last 20 patients. Left bundle branch (LBB) capture was achieved in 54 of 80 patients (68%). In 36 of 45 patients (80%) with intact atrioventricular conduction and narrow QRS, an LBB potential (LBBpot) was present with an LBBpot to onset of QRS interval of 22 ± 6 ms. QRS duration increased significantly more during RVSP (141 ± 20 ms) than during LBBAP (125 ± 19 ms), compared to 130 ± 30 ms without pacing. An even clearer difference was observed for QRS area, which increased significantly more during RVSP (from 32 ± 16 µVs to 73 ± 20 µVs) than during LBBAP (41 ± 15 µVs). QRS area was significantly smaller in patients with LBB capture compared to patients without LBB capture (43 ± 18 µVs vs 54 ± 21 µVs, respectively). In patients with LBB capture (n = 54), the interval from the pacing stimulus to R‑wave peak time in lead V6 was significantly shorter than in patients without LBB capture (75 ± 14 vs 88 ± 9 ms, respectively).ConclusionLBBAP is a safe and feasible technique, with a clear learning curve that seems to flatten after 40–60 implantations. LBB capture is achieved in two-thirds of patients. Compared to RVSP, LBBAP largely maintains ventricular electrical synchrony at a level close to intrinsic (narrow QRS) rhythm.Supplementary InformationThe online version of this article (10.1007/s12471-022-01679-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. 相似文献

Background
Cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) block is currently assessed by coronary sinus (CS) pacing or low lateral and septal atrial pacing. Occasionally, CS catheterization through the femoral route can be difficult to perform or right atrial pacing can be problematic because of catheter instability or saturation of the atrial electrograms recorded near the catheter.Objectives
Our aim was to evaluate the feasibility of assessing cavo-tricuspid isthmus block by means of right ventricular (RV) pacing in patients with ventriculo-atrial conduction, comparing it with CS pacing.Methods
Circumannular activation was analyzed during CS and RV pacing in consecutive patients in sinus rhythm undergoing CTI ablation for typical atrial flutter. Patients without ventriculo-atrial conduction were excluded from the study. The linear lesion was created during RV pacing and split atrial signals on the ablation line were analyzed. CTI block was confirmed by analyzing local electrograms on the line of block and circumannular activation during CS and RV pacing.Results
Out of 31 patients, 20 displayed ventriculo-atrial conduction (64%) and were included in the study. Before ablation, during RV stimulation, the collision front of circumannular activation shifted counterclockwise in contrast with the pattern observed during CS pacing. After ablation, circumannular activation was similar during CS and RV pacing, showing fully descending lateral right atrium activation, even if double potentials registered on the ablation line were less widely split during RV pacing than CS pacing (111±26 ms vs 128±30 , p=0.0001).Conclusions
In patients with ventriculo-atrial conduction, tricuspid annulus activation during CS and RV pacing is similar, before and after CTI ablation. The occurrence of split atrial electrograms separated by an isoelectric interval registered on the line of block can be detected during CS or RV pacing. In patients with difficult CS catheterization via the femoral vein, before trying the subclavian or internal jugular route, if retrograde ventriculo-atrial conduction is present, RV pacing can be an easy trick to assess isthmus block. 相似文献11.

Fontan surgery and its modifications have improved survival in various forms of univentricular hearts. A regular atrial rhythm with atrioventricular synchrony is one of the most important prerequisite for the long-term effective functioning of this preload dependent circulation. A significant proportion of these survivors need various forms of pacing for bradyarrhythmias, often due to sinus nodal dysfunction and sometimes due to atrioventricular nodal block. The diversion of the venous flows away from the cardiac chambers following this surgery takes away the simpler endocardial pacing options through the superior vena cava. The added risks of thromboembolism associated with endocardial leads in systemic ventricles have made epicardial pacing as the procedure of choice. However challenges in epicardial pacing include surgical adhesions, increased pacing thresholds leading to early battery depletion and frequent lead fractures. When epicardial pacing fails, endocardial lead placement is equally challenging due to lack of access to the cardiac chambers in Fontan circulation. This review discusses the univentricular heart morphologies that may warrant pacing, issues about epicardial pacing, different techniques for endocardial pacing in patients with disconnected superior vena cava, pacing in different modifications of Fontan surgeries, issues of systemic thromboembolism with endocardial leads, atrioventricular valve regurgitation attributed to pacing leads and device infections. In a vast majority of patients following Glenn shunt and Senning surgery, an epicardial pacing and lead replacement is always feasible though technically very difficult. This article highlights the different options of transatrial and transventricular endocardial pacing. 相似文献

Although great strides have been made in the areas of ventricular pacing, it is still appreciated that dyssynchrony can be malignant, and that appropriately placed pacing leads may ameliorate mechanical dyssynchrony. However, the unknowns at present include:1. The mechanisms by which ventricular pacing itself can induce dyssynchrony;2. Whether or not various pacing locations can decrease the deleterious effects caused by ventricular pacing;3. The impact of novel methods of pacing, such as atrioventricular septal, lead-less, and far-field surface stimulation;4. The utility of ECG and echocardiography in predicting response to therapy and/or development of dyssynchrony in the setting of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) lead placement;5. The impact of ventricular pacing-induced dyssynchrony on valvular function, and how lead position correlates to potential improvement.This review examines the existing literature to put these issues into context, to provide a basis for understanding how electrical, mechanical, and functional aspects of the heart can be distorted with ventricular pacing. We highlight the central role of the mitral valve and its function as it relates to pacing strategies, especially in the setting of CRT. We also provide future directions for improved pacing modalities via alternative pacing sites and speculate over mechanisms on how lead position may affect the critical function of the mitral valve and thus overall efficacy of CRT. 相似文献

The right ventricular (RV) apex has been the standard pacing site since the development of implantable pacemaker technology. Although RV pacing was initially only utilized for the treatment of severe bradyarrhythmias usually due to complete heart block, today the indications for and implantation of RV pacing devices is dramatically larger. Recently, the adverse effects of chronic RV apical pacing have been described including an increased risk of heart failure and death. This review details the detrimental effects of RV apical pacing and their shared hemodynamic pathophysiology. In particular, the role of RV apical pacing induced ventricular dyssynchrony is highlighted with a specific focus on differential outcome based upon QRS morphology at implant. 相似文献

Traditionally Right Ventricle has been the preferred site of pacing for the management of symptomatic brady-arrhythmias. The deleterious effect of chronic RV pacing has been shown by several studies. This has generated interest into a novel pacing strategy called physiological pacing wherein the His bundle or the left bundle is paced directly with 4.1 F pacing lead. Herewith we are reporting a case of congenital complete heart block in a 13-year-old child for whom selective left bundle branch pacing was done. This physiological pacing will ensure a synchronized contraction of the ventricles thereby avoiding the deleterious effect of RV pacing. 相似文献

Right ventricular (RV) mid-septal pacing should have fewer negative effects on left ventricular function compared to apical pacing. However, targeting the mid-septum may be technically challenging since it is usually done with two-dimensional fluoroscopy. The rotation of the heart and various shapes of the RV make it difficult to assess, whether the lead is really anchored in the septum. Many leads, apparently anchored in the septum, are in fact anchored in the anterior wall or anteroseptal groove, and some can get anchored in close proximity to the left anterior descending artery (LAD). We report three cases from our series of 51 patients, in whom the RV lead thought to be implanted in the mid-septum was in fact anchored in close proximity of LAD when assessed using computed tomography. 相似文献

Background
In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery (CABGS), occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in the postoperative period and is associated with increased morbidity with longer intensive unit care (ICU) and hospital stay. Prevention with antiarrhythmic drugs is of limited success and associated with significant side effects. Therefore alternative approaches, such as Bachmann Bundle pacing, are required.Methods and Results
154 consecutive patients, mean age 58±8.8 years, including 134 males and 20 females, were randomized to three groups; Group I : No pacing n= 54, Group II : RA pacing n= 52, Group III : Bachmann Bundle pacing n= 48. All the groups were well matched with regard to age, left atrial size, ejection fraction and use of beta blockers. Patients in Groups II and III were continually paced at a rate of 100 beats per minute (bpm) or at 10 bpm more than patients'' intrinsic heart rate. All the patients were monitored for 72 hours by telemetry and occurrence of AF was noted. Incidence of AF was 0% (none of 48 patients) in Group III as compared to 16.6% in Group I (9 of 54 patients) (p 0.003) and 12.5% in Group II (5 of 52 patients) (p 0.03). There was a trend towards shorter ICU stay in Group III (3.9 days) as compared to Group II (4.5 days) and Group I (4.1 days). Among the three groups, the reduction in mean P wave duration also was greater in Bachmann bundle paced group.Conclusion
In patients undergoing CABGS, Bachmann bundle pacing is superior to right atrial / no pacing in the post operative period for preventing occurrence of AF and reducing ICU stay, commensurate with a reduction in mean P wave duration on surface ECG. 相似文献19.

Although electrical vagal stimulation exerts beneficial effects on the ischemic heart such as an antiarrhythmic effect, whether it modulates norepinephrine (NE) and acetylcholine (ACh) releases in the ischemic myocardium remains unknown. To clarify the neural modulation in the ischemic region during vagal stimulation, we examined ischemia-induced NE and ACh releases in anesthetized and vagotomized cats. In a control group (VX, n = 8), occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery increased myocardial interstitial NE level from 0.46+/-0.09 to 83.2+/-17.6 nM at 30-45 min of ischemia (mean+/-SE). Vagal stimulation at 5 Hz (VS, n = 8) decreased heart rate by approximately 80 beats/min during the ischemic period and suppressed the NE release to 24.4+/-10.6 nM (P < 0.05 from the VX group). Fixed-rate ventricular pacing (VSP, n=8) abolished this vagally mediated suppression of ischemia-induced NE release. The vagal stimulation augmented ischemia-induced ACh release at 0-15 min of ischemia (VX: 11.1+/-2.1 vs. VS: 20.7+/-3.9 nM, P < 0.05). In the VSP group, the ACh release was not augmented. In conclusion, vagal stimulation suppressed the ischemia-induced NE release and augmented the initial increase in the ACh level. These modulations of NE and ACh levels in the ischemic myocardium may contribute to the beneficial effects of vagal stimulation on the heart during acute myocardial ischemia. 相似文献
