متن کاملRemnant Pacemaker Lead Tips after Lead Extractions in Pacemaker Infections
Complete hardware removal is recommended in the case of patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infections. However, the complete extraction of chronically implanted leads is not always achieved. The outcomes and optimal management of CIED infections with retained material after lead extractions have not been elucidated. In this case report, we present five patients wi...
متن کاملCentral venous catheter fracture during pacemaker lead extraction
Introduction In this case report, we present an unusual and potentially lifethreatening complication of cardiac electronic device lead extraction during which a peripherally inserted central venous catheter (CVC) coursing ipsilaterally to the pacemaker leads was fractured with the use of mechanical extraction tools. Subsequently, a fragment of this catheter embolized distally into the right atr...
متن کاملSubclavian crush syndrome: a cause of pacemaker lead fracture.
A 48-year-old male with a symptomatic 2:1 atrio-ventricular block and a dual-chamber pacemaker, implanted one year previously, was admitted due to a syncopal episode. Pacemaker malfunction was identified as the cause of syncope. Subclavian crush syndrome was the cause of the pacemaker malfunction. Its incidence, consequences and management are discussed in this report.
متن کاملPatient- and lead-related factors affecting lead fracture in children with transvenous permanent pacemaker.
AIMS Fracture in transvenous pacing leads is one of the most common reasons for lead abandonment. Although the factors affecting lead failure rates have been investigated, there is no study evaluating the clinical parameters that affect lead fracture in children. We report our experience with lead fracture in children with transvenous pacemakers. METHODS AND RESULTS The follow-up results of 2...
