ABSTRACT

Temporary cardiac pacing is used to restore electrical and hemodynamic normality. It consists of the generation of an electrical impulse that would trigger the depolarization of the myocardial cells and the consequent mechanical activity. Despite being a technique with a little complex learning curve, it is not without complications, many of them serious. The case of a patient in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery is presented, where she underwent excision of a left atrial myxoma and in her evolution presented atrioventricular block requiring transient stimulation, during which the implantation of the endocardium electrode in the left ventricle was presented as a complication, with which adequate cardiac stimulation was achieved. The Echocardiography proved to be a useful tool for diagnosis.
