Implantation of a leadless cardiac pacemaker for recurrent pocket infections
Infections involving cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) remain an unfortunate indication for repeated device-related procedures, including extractions and reimplantations. Recurrent infections involving transvenous leads and superficial device pockets may eventually lead to epicardial lead implantation and generator placement in deeper tissue planes, both of which require a m...
متن کاملSimultaneous atrioventricular node ablation and leadless pacemaker implantation☆☆☆
Introduction The ablate-and-pace technique is a well-established method to treat patients with persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with poor rate control on medical therapy.1 The technique represents a class IIa indication to control heart rates when pharmacologic therapy is insufficient or intolerable.2 As many of these patients are in permanent atrial fibrillation, they frequently r...
متن کاملPacemaker dependency after pacemaker implantation.
BACKGROUND Pacemaker dependency (PD) can be defined as the risk of serious injury or death from sudden pacemaker failure, an event more dangerous than progressive rate decrease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of PD during long-term follow-up after pacing system implantation. METHODS AND RESULTS The study included 3638 patients (mean age 65.3 +/- 10.2 years). Indications f...
متن کاملPatient and pacemaker survival after pacemaker implantation.
One hundred thirty patients have had 244 pacemakers of five types implanted at Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Hospital in the past eight years. There has been I 0.50 probabilIty of successful unit function at only 12 months with epicardial units. All transvenous units used have had a 0.50 probabilIty of unit success at more than 17 months. This fact, combined with the lower frequency of early death wi...
متن کاملRetrieval of the Leadless Cardiac Pacemaker
Leadless cardiac pacemakers (LPs) have emerged as a safe and effective alternative to conventional transvenous pacemakers for patients with an indication for single-chamber ventricular pacing. In 2 prospective studies with intermediate follow-up, leadless pacemakers exhibited high acute implantation success rates and stable pacing performance at 6 months. Despite these promising results, the ab...
