intraventricular fossa pacemaker defibrillator? - Mary

Posted: Feb 27, 2010

The doctor struggles to pronounce this correctly but it sounds like "intra or infra ventricular fossa pacemaker defibrillator implanted. - anyone familiar with cardiology that can help me out?

Intraventricular fossa pacemaker/defibrillator, you got it!.....nm - Cyndiee

There is no intraventricular fossa. (!)

Perhaps infraclavicular fossa, where the device is implanted.

Please note: pacemaker/defibrillator - elaine

Doc is likely saying something along these lines:

implantable cardioverter/defibrillator ("ICD") or
--OR--
automatic implantable cardioverter/defibrillator ("AICD")

The device can be implanted in the infraclavicular fossa (indentation below the clavicle), so perhaps doc is saying "infraclavicular fossa pacemaker/defibrillator".

There can also be biventricular pacing with an ICD/AICD, thus they may say: biventricular pacemaker/defibrillator, bi-V pacer, biventricular pacemaker/AICD, etc.

See what it sounds like to you, and make sure to verify any and all answers you receive on this board, including mine! :)

I am not quite awake this morning and this doctor slurs all his words together. He says under past surgical hx.

Is there any way to tell the difference between these two terms? I don't really understand what they mean other than *inter*ventricular would mean occuring between the 2 ventricles and *intra*ventricular occuring within one ventricle. Right??
