Routine chest radiography after permanent pacemaker implantation: is it necessary?
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Chest radiographs (CXRs) are performed routinely after permanent pacemaker implantation to identify pacemaker lead position and exclude pneumothorax. We assessed the clinical value and need for this procedure. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of pacemaker data and CXRs following permanent pacemaker insertion between December 2002 and February 2004. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pos...
متن کاملA chiari network mimicking a cystic structure
The Chiari network is a net-like mobile structure, occasionally encountered near the entrance of the inferior vena cava in the right atrium. Due to its fenestration, the Chiari network does not cause flow obstruction of the blood. The Chiari network is usually an incidental finding with no further clinical consequences. We report an unusual presentation of a Chiari network, mimicking a right at...
متن کاملIs a pacemaker implantation warranted in this patient?
Internal loop recorders (ILRs) are frequently implanted in patients with syncope or paroxysmal tachycardias. Built-in auto-activation algorithms are not perfect, but have much improved in the newer, smaller devices. We report a case of a 64-year-old patient with recurrent syncope and ILR which detected an atrioventricular block III8 while the patient was asymptomatic. Would you proceed with pac...
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 کاملChiari Formation: Atlantoaxial Instability is the Cause
The entity of Chiari formation was described by Hans Chiari in 1891 [1,2]. Since then the subject has been evaluated elaborately by a number of authors. However, it may only be correct to state that confusion in the understanding of pathogenesis and the nature of anomaly, significance of associated abnormal soft tissue and bone anomalies and more importa...
