Abstract

Ionizing radiation is associated with an increased risk of malignancy, especially in fetuses. Therefore, in the rare situation of a pregnant patient in need of a pacemaker, alternatives to conventional fluoroscopy are required. We describe a case of successful implantation of a Ventricle-paced, Dual-sensing, Dual-response pacemaker without fluoroscopy in a 32-year-old female patient using electroanatomic 3D mapping. She had severe bradycardia due to complete atrioventricular block, which impeded intrauterine growth restriction in the fetus.
