Clinicians should monitor for fusion-induced VT/VF during temporary pacing; this case leaves open incidence and prevention strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare but fatal complication of temporary transvenous pacing where fusion complexes initiate malignant ventricular arrhythmias, treatable by lead removal.
Sharma et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Acute inferior wall myocardial infarction with second-degree atrioventricular block (n=1). Temporary transvenous pacing was evaluated on Malignant ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Temporary transvenous pacing initiated malignant ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation via fusion complexes, which completely resolved upon removal of the pacing lead.
