Abstract
While several reports have documented the safety of implantation of transvenous pacemakers in patients with epicardial patch-based implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), the implantation of transvenous pacemakers in patients with transvenous (nonthoracotomy) ICDs has not been well-described. We present three patients with transvenous ICDs who subsequently underwent implantation of transvenous pacemakers without complication. Technical considerations and a testing, protocol for detection of pacemaker-ICD interactions are discussed.Keywords
