Pacemaker 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 کاملSurface thrombosis and fibrous encapsulation of intravenous pacemaker catheter electrode.
AN INDWELLING catheter placed in the right side of the heart has the potential for causing untoward reactions. One such reaction is erosion of the lining of the superior vena cava and the right atrium. Bland mural thrombosis is a common response. Infection, of which samples were presented in an earlier communication,' is a more serious complication. Other complications include thrombosis on the...
متن کاملEffect of selected prothrombotic and proinflammatory factors on the incidence of venous thrombosis after pacemaker implantation.
BACKGROUND Venous thrombosis (VT), a major cause of venous obstruction, is a rather rare but dangerous complication of pacemaker (PM) implantation. AIM To assess the prognostic value of selected proinflammatory and prothrombotic markers in predicting symptomatic venous obstruction after PM implantation. METHODS The study involved 81 patients (31 females; mean age 71 ± 8 years) divided into ...
متن کاملPacemaker dependency after implantation of electrophysiological devices.
Pacemaker dependency is observed in an appreciable number of chronically paced patients. Although there is no standard definition, pacemaker dependency has a significant impact on the management of patients in several clinical settings. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the available data regarding definition, testing, clinical significance, epidemiology, and mechanisms of ...
