Cardiac pacing in fetal lambs: intrauterine transvenous cardiac pacing for fetal complete heart block.
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE 1995 March
To evaluate the feasibility of intrauterine transvenous cardiac pacing, the right ventricular output was measured during pacing in six fetal lambs. Under maternal anesthesia, the uterus was opened, and, under local anesthesia, the pacing lead (Medtronic Capsure SP4023) was inserted via the fetal left internal jugular vein. Right ventricular output was estimated using an Aloka SSD-730 ultrasound device, and tricuspid valve regurgitation was evaluated with an Aloka SSD-880 using the transuterine approach. The ultrasonic right ventricular cardiac output was measured under three different conditions: (1) with the tip of the pacing lead in the superior vena cava (control); (2) with the tip of the pacing lead in the right ventricle; and (3) with pacing at 200 beats/min. The right ventricular output decreased when the pacing lead was inserted into the right ventricle, as well as during pacing at 200 beats/min ([1] = 107 +/- 13.2 mL/kg per min; [2] = 73.8 +/- 17.5 mL/kg per min; and [3] = 78.3 +/- 23.6 mL/kg per min). Tricuspid regurgitation did not change under any of the conditions tested. Intrauterine transvenous cardiac pacing was successfully achieved. Insertion of the pacing lead into the right ventricle decreased the ventricular output without increasing tricuspid valve regurgitation.
