Abstract:
X-ray is usually used to determine anatomy and localization during conventional permanent pacemaker implantation.But X-ray exposure might induce radiation injury to fetus.In this paper,we reported 2 cases successful double cavity permanent pacemaker implantation in pregnant women woman at 13 weeks of gestation under the guidance of transthoracic echocardiography.The postoperative pacing parameters were good,the whole process was finished with zero radiation,and there were complications during pregnancy.Both cases resulted in full-term pregnancies and the natural delivery of healthy newborns.Pacemaker electrodes were in normal position as confirmed by post-delivery X-ray examinations.
