How to Implant a Permanent Transvenous Pacing System After Single Ventricle Palliation With a Right or Left Infraclavicular Pocket-Introduction to Permanent Transvenous Pacing System

Introduction to Permanent Transvenous Pacing System

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the challenges and considerations involved in implanting a permanent transvenous pacemaker. They discuss the indications for pacemaker implantation in a single ventricle population, such as sinus node dysfunction and AV node disease. The speaker compares the use of epicardial and endocardial pacemaker systems, noting the procedural and pacing system complications associated with each. They highlight the higher incidence of thrombus in transvenous leads compared to epicardial leads. The speaker also mentions a study on alternative site cardiac resynchronization in adult patients and emphasizes the importance of keeping patients well anticoagulated. The video is filmed at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital. No credits are mentioned.
