Lead extraction for device related infections: a single-centre experience.
AIMS We report a single-centre experience of extraction of infected pacing and ICD leads. METHODS Retrospective study of consecutive lead extractions for infection. Lead extraction was by traction, or, if unsuccessful, a laser sheath was used. All procedures were performed in the operating room. RESULTS Leads were extracted in 82 patients including 66 patients (80%) with infection occurring...
متن کاملLaser-assisted lead extraction: the European experience.
AIMS The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Excimer laser-assisted lead extraction in Europe. The final European multi-centre study experience is presented. METHOD AND RESULTS The Excimer is a cool cutting laser (50 degrees C) with a wavelength of 308 nm. The energy is emitted from the tip of a flexible sheath and is absorbed by proteins and lipids, 64% of the...
متن کاملManagement of Perinatal Testicular Torsion: A Single Centre Experience
Perinatal testicular torsion (PTT) is a rare entity. The management of PTT is controversial, due to the low viability of the testis and the possibility of bilateral torsion. This is a review of our experience with six cases of PTT, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of this condition.
متن کاملPercutaneous lead extraction and venous recanalisation using spectranetics tight rail: A single centre experience
Aims: Despite advances in lead extraction tools, percutaneous lead extraction remains a complex procedure associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Moreover, no standards or directives exist to guide physicians in the choice of their extraction tool or approach and all operators tend to have their own preferred method. The reporting of outcomes with existing and newly emerging extrac...
متن کاملA single-centre experience of over one thousand lead extractions
AIMS The aim of the study was to present a single-centre experience of pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) lead extraction using different methods, mainly laser-assisted extraction. METHODS AND RESULTS Data from 1032 leads and 647 procedures were gathered. A step-by-step approach using different techniques while performing an ongoing risk-benefit analysis was used. The ...
