Safety of Paired Vagus Nerve Stimulation Implantation in the Presence of a Cardiac Pacemaker: A Case Report
Use of a rigorous test protocol confirmed that VNS did not interfere with proper cardiac pacemaker operation. Preoperative testing, intraoperative testing, and a follow-up at 6 months confirmed the absence of potential safety events associated with device interactions.
