Percutaneous Extraction of Transvenous Permanent Pacemaker/Defibrillator Leads
BACKGROUND Widespread use of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices has inevitably increased the need for lead revision/replacement. We report our experience in percutaneous extraction of transvenous permanent pacemaker/defibrillator leads. METHODS Thirty-six patients admitted to our centre from September 2005 through October 2012 for percutaneous lead extraction were included. Lead re...
متن کامل[Percutaneous extraction of pacemaker and defibrillator leads].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES There is an increasing need for endocardial pacing and defibrillators leads to be removed. However, the procedure can be complex and it is not risk-free. We reviewed our experience between April 1989 and June 2006 with the percutaneous extraction of leads. METHODS In total, 314 electrodes were extracted from 187 patients. The leads had been implanted over an averag...
متن کاملSuccessful percutaneous extraction of pacemaker leads with a novel (VascoExtor) pacing lead removal system.
A new pacing lead extraction system (VascoExtor, VascoMed, Germany) with a universally applicable locking stylet was used over a period of 12 months to extract 25 permanent pacemaker leads (mean implantation time 3.9 +/- 3.8 years) in 16 patients who had pacemaker infection (n = 13), lead dysfunction (n = 2), or before an automatic defibrillator implant (n = 1). With use of this system, we were...
متن کاملIs the transvenous extraction of cardioverter-defibrillator leads more hazardous than that of pacemaker leads?
BACKGROUND Leads used for low-voltage and high-voltage therapy delivered by implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) differ from low-voltage pacemaker (PM) leads in their diameter and complexity of structure. Although there are reports showing that the extraction of ICD leads may be hazardous, due to firm adhesions to the vascular and chamber walls of high-voltage therapy coils, clinical e...
متن کاملInitial experience with larger laser sheaths for the removal of transvenous pacemaker and implantable defibrillator leads.
BACKGROUND In a previous randomized trial, the 12F laser sheath removed pacing leads via the implant vein more successfully than traditional mechanical tools alone. Two larger sizes of laser sheath, the 14F and 16F models, were developed to extract defibrillator leads and large-diameter pacing leads implanted for the chronic. These devices use pulsed ultraviolet laser light to core though fibro...
