Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the rare but underappreciated risk of electrocautery-induced monomorphic ventricular tachycardia during routine pacemaker generator replacement.
Goel et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (n=1). Electrocautery was evaluated on Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. Electrocautery induced monomorphic ventricular tachycardia during an elective pacemaker generator change in a patient with normal left ventricular ejection fraction.
