In the present article we report the case of a patient at high risk of infection wearing a subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) due to previous system extractions, hospitalized for symptomatic BBR VT and underwent radiofrequency catheter (RF) ablation. Afterwards, to prevent the possible progression of the infra-His conduction disease to a complete block, it was decided to implant a pacemaker system. Since the high infectious risk, and the patient's firm refusal to implant another transvenous system given the previous extractions he underwent in the past, it was decided to implant a leadless pacemaker with atrioventricular synchrony.
在本文中,我们报告了一例因先前系统取出而感染风险高的患者佩戴皮下 ICD(S-ICD),因有症状的 BBR VT 住院并接受射频导管(RF)消融。之后,为了防止希氏束下传导疾病可能进展为完全阻滞,决定植入起搏器系统。由于感染风险高,且患者坚决拒绝因先前的取出手术而植入另一个静脉内系统,因此决定植入具有房室同步功能的无导线起搏器。
