- Title
Sacral neuromodulation and cardiac pacemakers.
- Authors
Roth, Ted M.
- Abstract
Potential for cross-talk between cardiac pacemakers and sacral neuromodulation remains speculative. We present a case series of patients with cardiac pacemakers who underwent staged Interstim (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) implantation and patients who had pulse generator implantation who later required cardiac pacemakers. No cross-talk was demonstrated in either group. Sacral neuromodulation appears to be safe in the setting of cardiac pacemakers without cardioversion/defibrillation technology.
