    Esophageal electrodes enable P-synchronous (VAT) pacing, improving hemodynamic status in patients with complete heart block (CHB) after aortic valve replacement. This pacing strategy facilitated dopamine weaning and maintained cardiac output (CO).

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Electrophysiology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Complete heart block (CHB) and dopamine dependency are potential complications following aortic valve replacement (AVR).
    • Temporary right ventricular (VVI) pacing may be insufficient for optimal hemodynamic support in such cases.

    Observation:

    • Two patients developed new CHB and required dopamine for hemodynamic stability post-AVR.
    • An esophageal electrode was utilized for atrial sensing to enable P-synchronous (VAT) pacing.

    Findings:

    • Transitioning from VVI to VAT pacing using esophageal atrial sensing improved hemodynamic status in both patients.
    • Successful weaning from dopamine and maintenance of adequate cardiac output (CO) were achieved with VAT pacing.

    Implications:

    • Esophageal electrode-based P-synchronous pacing offers a viable strategy for managing complex CHB post-AVR.
    • This approach can enhance hemodynamic stability, reduce inotropic support needs, and improve patient outcomes.
