Key result
Imaging and mapping-assisted leadless pacemaker implantation proves feasible in sinus venosus atrial septal defect.
Why the study?
Implantation of a conventional pacemaker in patients with sinus venosus atrial septal defect can be challenging, necessitating alternative approaches.
Leadless pacemaker implantation using hybrid image mapping is a feasible alternative for patients with sinus venosus atrial septal defect where conventional pacemaker placement is challenging.
Supports feasibility of imaging-integrated leadless pacing in sinus venosus ASD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) is an interatrial communication caused by a deficiency of the common wall between the superior vena cava and the right-sided pulmonary veins. Implantation of a conventional pacemaker in this setting can be challenging. We report the feasibility of leadless pacemaker (LPM) implantation assisted by imaging integration and electroanatomical mapping.
