Phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS) caused by a right ventricular (RV) lead is an uncommon complication of pacemaker implantations. We demonstrated a case of left PNS caused by an RV lead placed in the RV outflow tract (RVOT). The PNS was dependent on ventricular capture. This case highlighted a risk of PNS even during RVOT pacing.
膈神经刺激(PNS)由右心室(RV)导联引起是心脏起搏器植入的一种罕见并发症。我们展示了一例由 RV 导联放置在右心室流出道(RVOT)引起的左侧 PNS 病例。PNS 依赖于心室捕获。该病例强调了即使在 RVOT 起搏期间也存在 PNS 的风险。
