Lead Dislodgement Post Invasive Hemodynamic Assessment after Atrioventricular Node Ablation and Biventricular Pacemaker
Keywords:
Pacemaker, Cardiac resynchronization therapyAbstract
A man with history of Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF), Atrioventricular (AV) node ablation followed by biventricular pacemaker placement was hospitalized for dyspnea. During invasive hemodynamic assessment patient had brief episode of asystole due to lead displacement. Right catheterization should be cautiously performed in patients with intracardiac devices, when done safety protocols should be followed.
