Overdrive pacing via an angioplasty guidewire can successfully terminate ventricular tachycardia occurring during PTCA.
Coronary pacing has been performed to treat bradycardias occurring during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) using an angioplasty guidewire. We describe a case of a 62-year-old man who developed ventricular tachycardia (VT) during PTCA. The tachycardia was successfully terminated by overdrive pacing via an angioplasty guidewire.
