Supports feasibility of fluoroscopy-free pacing in pregnancy when expertise exists; leaves open need for prospective safety data.
Chua et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Pregnancy requiring permanent pacemaker (n=1). Intracardiac echocardiography and electroanatomic mapping-guided permanent pacemaker implantation was evaluated. Intracardiac echocardiography and electroanatomic mapping successfully guided the implantation of a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker in a pregnant patient, avoiding contraindicated fluoroscopy.
