An innovative application of anatomic electromagnetic voltage mapping in a patient with Ebstein's anomaly undergoing permanent pacemaker implantation

E M Kloosterman et al. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol. 2000 Jan.

Abstract

A novel application of the Biosense CARTO System anatomic electromagnetic voltage mapping is presented, utilized as a guide for permanent pacemaker placement. The technique is illustrated in the successful implantation of an atrial lead in a patient with Ebstein's anomaly characterized by a severely dilated right atrium and extremely low-amplitude voltage signals, requiring a DDD pacemaker. Electromagnetic voltage mapping can be used in selected patients with structural heart disease to determine the optimal site for permanent pacemaker lead placement.
