Right atrial appendage pacing: radiographic considerations.

B S Hertzberg, C Chiles, C E Ravin

    AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
    |July 1, 1985

    Summary

    Transvenous pacing in the right atrial appendage offers benefits for selected patients. Radiographic views show lead placement, with potential complications including incorrect positioning for effective atrial pacing.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Transvenous pacing is increasingly utilized for patients benefiting from atrial systole.
    • Right atrial appendage pacing offers an alternative pacing strategy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the radiographic appearance of transvenous pacing leads positioned in the right atrial appendage.
    • To highlight potential complications related to lead placement.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of frontal and lateral chest radiographs of patients with transvenous pacing leads.
    • Identification of characteristic lead trajectories and tip positions.

    Main Results:

    • On frontal radiographs, leads terminate over the right upper heart border, curving cephalad.
    • On lateral radiographs, leads show an anterior curve with tips in the right atrial appendage.
    • Inadvertent positioning in the right atrial body can lead to less effective atrial pacing.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiographic evaluation is crucial for confirming correct placement of right atrial appendage pacing leads.
    • Awareness of potential malpositioning is essential for optimizing pacing efficacy and patient outcomes.
