Transvenous pacemaker (PM) catheters can be unintentionally placed in the left ventricle (LV) during the implantation procedure. An 8-year-old girl was discovered with a malpositioned pm wire, seven years after the implant. Trans-thoracic echocardiogram revealed the lead traversing the inter-atrial septum, crossing the mitral valve and embedded in the basal lateral wall of the LV. This is a report of a 14-year long follow-up after the surgical extraction of the malpositioned PM lead.
经静脉起搏器(PM)导管在植入过程中可能会意外置入左心室(LV)。一名8岁女孩在植入起搏器7年后被发现起搏电极位置不当。经胸超声心动图显示电极穿过房间隔,跨过二尖瓣并嵌入左心室的基底侧壁。本文报告了对位置不当的PM电极进行手术取出后长达14年的随访情况。
