This report discusses the use of temporary transvenous external cardiac pacing during cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Despite its feasibility having been explored in adults, its application in pediatric patients is not well established. We present a case of a 6-year-old female with a high-degree atrioventricular (AV) block managed with an externalized temporary pacing system for MRI. This system enabled cardiac MRI for further treatment planning, eliminating the immediate need for permanent pacemaker implantation. This case underscores the feasibility of conducting cardiac MRI in pediatric patients requiring temporary pacing, contingent upon the utilization of appropriate equipment and protocols.
本报告讨论了心脏磁共振成像（MRI）期间临时经静脉外心脏起搏的应用。尽管其在成人中的可行性已得到探索，但其在儿科患者中的应用尚未得到充分确立。我们报告一例6岁女性患有高度房室传导阻滞，在MRI检查时采用外置临时起搏系统进行治疗。该系统使得能够进行心脏MRI以制定进一步的治疗计划，消除了立即植入永久起搏器的必要性。该病例强调了在需要临时起搏的儿科患者中进行心脏MRI的可行性，这取决于适当设备和方案的使用。
