AbstractIntraoperative wireless interrogation is a useful monitoring method for the leadless pacemaker (LP); however, there are few reports on this technique. A 60-year-old woman underwent cardiac surgery 24 days after Aveir LP implantation. Considering the risk of intraoperative device dislodgment and pacemaker malfunction due to electromagnetic interference, the LP was monitored by wireless interrogation via body-surface electrodes, and no device dislodgement or pacemaker malfunction was observed during surgery. Our findings suggest that wireless interrogation using body-surface electrodes on the chest is a practical and valuable monitoring technique in open-heart surgery, which lends additional safety to anesthetic management.Copyright © 2024 International Anesthesia Research Society.
