Electromagnetic fields and myopotentials from skeletal muscle may interfere with the function of a cardiac pacemaker. A 65-year-old woman with a unipolar DDD cardiac pacemaker underwent dynamic graciloplasty (transposition of the gracilis muscle around the anal canal and subsequent implantation of a bipolar pulse generator to stimulate the gracilis muscle), for the treatment of fecal incontinence. This gracilis pulse generator is turned "off" with an external magnet to allow defecation. Appropriate functioning of these two pulse generators (the cardiac pacemaker and the gracilis pulse generator) was tested during implantation of the gracilis pulse generator and afterwards. It was demonstrated that the combination could be used safely in this patient.
