Abstract

A 61-year-old female with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) with a single-lead VDD pacemaker, underwent removal of a spinal tumor in the prone position. Transesophageal echocardiography was possible in the prone position, and was useful in assessing the left ventricular volume and left ventricular out flow tract. When mono-polar electrocautery was used, tachycardia and hypotension occurred, probably caused by electro-magnetic interference. In patients with HOCM with a single-lead VDD pacemaker, mono-polar electrocautery should be avoided.
