Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Performed on Woman with a Cardiac Pacemaker

Abstract

A 73-year-old woman with a sick sinus syndrome and a 3-year-old ventricular demand pacemaker underwent extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy without incident. There was no damage or malfunction of the pacemaker during or acutely after this therapy. The lithotriptor had no difficulty in sensing all paced or spontaneous ventricular complexes.
