Atrioventricular Synchrony Restoration Aided by a Temporary Permanent Pacemaker in Right Ventricular Infarction and Complete Heart Block.
Curēus 2024 Februrary
Pacemakers are effective treatments for a variety of bradyarrhythmias. Cardiac pacemakers generally consist of a pulse generator and one or more leads. The conventional temporary transvenous ventricular cardiac pacemaker utilizing a passive fixation lead is commonly associated with multiple complications such as increased infection rate, lead dislodgement, venous thrombosis, longer duration of hospital stay, and atrioventricular (AV) dyssynchrony. On the other hand, temporary permanent pacemakers (TPPM) utilize active fixation leads; hence, they provide lower capture thresholds, reliable pacing, lower rates of displacement, and fewer pacemaker-related infections. Here, we present a case of TPPM aiding AV synchrony restoration in complete heart block accompanying right ventricular (RV) infarction with refractory cardiogenic shock. Pacemakers are effective treatments for a variety of bradyarrhythmias. Cardiac pacemakers generally consist of a pulse generator and one or more leads. We present a case of TPPM aiding AV synchrony restoration in complete heart block accompanying RV infarction with refractory cardiogenic shock. TPPM pacing is a safe and effective technique for temporary bridge pacing to prevent AV dyssynchrony in hemodynamically unstable patients with cardiogenic shock from RV infarction and complete heart block. It also hastens recovery compared to a traditional single-chamber temporary pacemaker.
