[Perforating epicardial lead: atypical evolution].

Endocarditis related to pacemaker lead is a rare complication of permanent transvenous pacing, of which the diagnosis is carried out with the presence of verrucae in echocardiography and positive blood cultures, its treatment being mixed -medical and surgical- because the isolated medical treatment is rarely successful and the lead should be extracted. We present the case of recurrent endocarditis of several years of evolution, in the which it was not possible to extract of the electrode due to the special characteristics of the patiente (epicardial lead perforating into right atrial).

[Atrial standstill and rheumatic mitral valvulopathy].

Atrial standstill is a very rare form of bradyarrhythmia and consists of a transitory or permanent loss of the electrical and mechanical activity of the atria. We report a series of 8 patients, all of them with rheumatic valve disease (5 of them with a prosthetic valve) with symptomatic bradyarrhythmia secondary to atrial standstill, requiring an implantable pacemaker.
