An electromagnetic interaction between St. Jude Medical Inc. (St. Paul, MN, USA) permanent pacemakers and HeartMate II left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) (Thoratec Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA) has been reported before, but the problem was thought to be resolved in the St. Jude Medical's most recently released pacemaker platform. We report a case of interference between the HeartMate II LVAD and the most recently released St. Jude Medical pacemaker (model no. PM3210; Anthem) and review new developments to overcome the electromagnetic interference problem in this setting.
此前已有报道称,美国明尼苏达州圣保罗市的圣犹达医疗公司生产的永久性起搏器与美国加利福尼亚州普莱森顿市的Thoratec公司生产的HeartMate II左心室辅助装置(LVAD)之间存在电磁相互作用,但人们认为该问题在圣犹达医疗公司最新发布的起搏器平台中已得到解决。我们报告了一例HeartMate II LVAD与圣犹达医疗公司最新发布的起搏器(型号为PM3210;Anthem)之间发生干扰的病例,并回顾了在此情况下克服电磁干扰问题的新进展。
