1 ‘Runaway’ vagal nerve stimulator: a case of cyclic asystole
G. Sofia Tomova, MD, Duc H. Do, MD, Yuliya Krokhaleva, MD, Henry Honda, MD, Eric Buch, MD, FHRS, Noel G. Boyle, MD, PhD, FHRS  HeartRhythm Case Reports  Volume 2, Issue 5, Pages (September 2016) DOI: /j.hrcr Copyright © 2016 Heart Rhythm Society Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 A representative episode of asystole lasting 13 seconds, which was due to high-degree atrioventricular block following electrical cardioversion over the patient’s vagal nerve stimulator.

3 Figure 2 A posterioanterior chest radiograph that was obtained following the implantation of a dual-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in the right chest. The vagal nerve stimulator is seen in the left subpectoral area with a thin lead (red arrows) traversing up to the left vagal nerve in the neck to which is it is attached.

4 Figure 3 A programming wand for the Cyberonics vagal nerve stimulator. This tool connects to a tablet computer and is placed over the vagal nerve stimulator to interrogate and program device settings.
