Double pacemaker implantation
T Iwa, M Teranaka, T Misaki and T Bando
A demand-type pacemaker and an inductive radiofrequency atrial pacemaker
were implanted in four patients presenting with sick sinus syndrome,
bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, atrial
flutter, and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, and in one patient having
ventricular tachycardia with ectopic ventricular beats. Our follow-up of
these patients showed that double implantation is feasible and effective in
controlling different types of arrhythmia occurring in the same patient.
