Key result
EnSite NavX navigation allows successful pacemaker implantation with minimal fluoroscopy in a pregnant Chagas patient.
Why the study?
Is the EnSite NavX electroanatomic navigation system safe and feasible for guiding permanent pacemaker implantation to minimize x-ray exposure in a pregnant patient with Chagas disease?
Case Report (n=1)
Is the EnSite NavX electroanatomic navigation system safe and feasible for guiding permanent pacemaker implantation to minimize x-ray exposure in a pregnant patient with Chagas disease?
Electroanatomic navigation systems can safely and feasibly guide permanent pacemaker implantation in pregnant patients, minimizing fetal radiation exposure.

Supports feasibility of minimal-fluoroscopy pacing in pregnancy; hypothesis-generating for Chagas cardiomyopathy and should not change practice.
Velasco et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Chagas disease and high degree atrioventricular block (n=1). EnSite NavX® electroanatomic navigation system was evaluated on Successful pacemaker implantation and fluoroscopic exposure. Permanent pacemaker implantation using the EnSite NavX electroanatomic navigation system was successfully performed with minimal fluoroscopic exposure in a pregnant patient with Chagas disease.
