Abstract

Negotiating the pacing lead into the right ventricle via left superior vena cava, at times, can be difficult. We report two such cases in which pacing leads were introduced into the right ventricle via left superior vena cava, with the help of stylet tip shaped into a large pigtail loop.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
