Abstract:
Coronary pacing has been performed to treat bradycardias occurring during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) using an angioplasty guidewire. We describe a case of a 62-year-old man who developed ventricular tachycardia (VT) during PTCA. The tachycardia was successfully terminated by overdrive pacing via an angioplasty guidewire.
