Abstract
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS]lis currently used to treat peripheral va scular disease (PVD) and refractory angina pectoris not amenable to re vascularization. In a case of contemporaneous SCS implant and permanen t cardiac pacemaker (PPM), if multipolar electrodes are used it is pos sible to avoid any interference between the systems. We describe the c ase of a patient with a DDD pacemaker, in whom two bipolar SCSs were i mplanted at different times: one to control refractory angina pectoris and the other for PVD. No interference between the three systems has been observed.
