Unidad de Investigación de Electrofisiología (1a Diagonal), Hospital Universitario La Paz, P. de la Castellana 261, 28046 Madrid, Spain
A dual-chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator was implanted in a 37-year-old pregnant woman with dilated cardiomyopathy, symptomatic sinus bradycardia, and a family history of sudden death. Two leads were connected to a three-dimensional navigation system and placed at the right atrium and right ventricle, respectively, without fluoroscopy.
