Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is currently used to treat peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and refractory angina pectoris not amenable to revascularization. In a case of contemporaneous SCS implant and permanent cardiac pacemaker (PPM), if multipolar electrodes are used it is possible to avoid any interference between the systems. We describe the case of a patient with a DDD pacemaker, in whom two bipolar SCSs were implanted at different times: one to control refractory angina pectoris and the other for PVD. No interference between the three systems has been observed.
