ABSTRACT

One of the complications of permanent pacemaker implantation is unintended phrenic nerve stimulation. A 15-year-old boy with a permanent pacemaker presented with chest discomfort due to synchronous chest wall contraction with pacing beats. Even after reprogramming of the pacemaker, diaphragmatic stimulation persisted. Therefore, we performed thoracoscopic phrenic nerve insulation using a Gore-Tex patch to insulate the phrenic nerve from the wire. A minimally invasive approach using a thoracoscope is a feasible option for retractable phrenic nerve stimulation after pacemaker implantation.

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Twiddler es una complicación infrecuente de los dispositivos de estimulación eléctrica cardíaca; a pesar de su rareza merece ser tenido en cuenta al evaluar pacientes con sospecha de disfunción del marcapasos. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 62 años portador de marcapasos biventricular quien ingresó al Hospital Universitario San Vicente Fundación por insuficiencia cardíaca descompensada debida a síndrome de Twiddler. Los síntomas se resolvieron con el implante de una nueva terminal de resincronización cardíaca.


Twiddler's syndrome is a rare complication of cardiac conduction devices; despite its low frequency, it should be considered when evaluating patients with suspicion of pacemaker's dysfunction. We report the case of a 62 year old man who consulted Hospital Universitario San Vicente Fundación, in Medellín, Colombia, with decompensated heart failure due to dislodgement of the left ventricle lead of his recently implanted biventricular pacemaker. The patient improved with the placement of a new device.


A síndrome de Twiddler é uma complicação infrequente dos dispositivos de estimulação elétrica cardíaca; apesar de sua raridade merece ser tido em conta ao avaliar pacientes com suspeita de disfunção do marca-passos. Apresentamos o caso de um paciente de 62 anos portador de marca- passos biventricular/desfibrilador quem ingressou ao Hospital Universitário San Vicente Fundação por insuficiência cardíaca descompensada devido a síndrome de Twiddler. Os sintomas se resolveram com o implante de um novo terminal de re-sincronização cardíaca.
