What are Single Chamber Pacemaker VVIRThe Single Chamber Pacemaker VVIR is a type of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) used to treat heart rhythm disorders, specifically bradycardia (slow heart rate). This pacemaker system consists of a pulse generator and a lead, which are implanted under the skin near the collarbone and connected to the heart. The VVIR designation indicates that the pacemaker has a ventricular lead and is programmed to sense and pace only the ventricles of the heart in a demand-driven mode.
Symptoms- Fatigue or weakness
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Shortness of breath
- Fainting or near-fainting spells
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Palpitations (irregular heartbeat)
NotesThe Single Chamber Pacemaker VVIR is designed to monitor the heart's electrical activity and deliver electrical impulses to regulate the heartbeat when necessary. It is indicated for patients with bradycardia who require pacing support to maintain adequate heart rate and cardiac output.
ProceduresThe implantation of a Single Chamber Pacemaker VVIR involves several key steps, beginning with the placement of the pacemaker generator under the skin near the collarbone. A lead, which contains electrodes, is then inserted through a vein into the heart's right ventricle. The lead is secured in place, and its position is confirmed using fluoroscopy or other imaging techniques. Once the lead is positioned correctly, it is connected to the pacemaker generator, and the incision is closed.
- Pre-operative assessment and preparation of the patient
- Administration of anesthesia or sedation as needed
- Placement of the pacemaker generator under the skin near the collarbone
- Insertion of the lead into a vein and advancement to the heart's right ventricle
- Securement of the lead and confirmation of its position using imaging
- Connection of the lead to the pacemaker generator and closure of the incision
Risk- Infection at the implantation site
- Bleeding or bruising
- Lead dislodgement or malfunction
- Pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
- Allergic reaction to anesthesia or implant materials
- Cardiac perforation or tamponade
Advantages- Effective management of bradycardia and associated symptoms
- Improved quality of life and functional capacity
- Long-term reliability and durability of the pacemaker system
- Compatibility with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in some cases
