Key result
A bipolar pacing electrode was successfully implanted without interference from a concomitant vertebral nerve stimulator, whereas a unipolar system registered 0.25 mV potentials.

Bipolar pacing may prevent nerve stimulator interference; hypothesis-generating from a single case and should not yet change practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Bipolar pacing electrodes may prevent electromagnetic interference from concomitant nerve stimulators that is otherwise observed with unipolar systems.
Sylvén et al. (1979) conducted a case report in Intermittent S-A block with Adams-Stokes attacks concomitant with vertebral nerve stimulator (n=1). Bipolar pacing electrode vs. Unipolar electrode was evaluated on Electromagnetic interference from the nerve stimulator. A bipolar pacing electrode was successfully implanted without interference from a concomitant vertebral nerve stimulator, whereas a unipolar system registered 0.25 mV potentials.
