Long-term epicardial ventricular pacing from endocardial bipolar pacemaker lead: perforation of right atrial wall.
One of the hazards of endocardial cardiac pacing is that the pacemaker lead may perforate the myocardial wall or interventricular septum although the incidence of such perforations is believed to be small. This paper describes what is believed to be a unique case in which a pacemaker lead perforated the atrial wall at implantation (or possibly shortly afterwards) and yet gave satisfactory right...
متن کاملDirect visualization of an atrial transseptal left ventricular endocardial lead implantation within an isolated heart
Introduction Left ventricular (LV) endocardial pacing is a relatively new therapy that may offer several advantages over coronary venous lead placement for biventricular resynchronization therapy, including access to more regions of the LV, faster impulse propagation, avoidance of phrenic nerve stimulation, and more physiologic LV activation. We report a case of transseptal implantation of a pa...
متن کاملEffectiveness of epicardial atrial pacing using a bipolar steroid-eluting endocardial lead with active fixation in an experimental model
PURPOSE To assess the effectiveness of bipolar epicardial atrial pacing using an active fixation bipolar endocardial lead implanted on the atrial surface in an experimental model. METHODS A total of ten Large White adult pigs underwent pacemaker implantation under general anesthesia. Atrial pacing and sensing parameters were obtained at the procedure, immediate postoperative period and on the...
متن کاملEndocardial biventricular defibrillator implantation in a patient with superior vena cava obstruction.
Options for cardiac device implantation in patients with central venous obstruction are limited. We describe a novel method of device implantation of an entirely endocardial biventricular defibrillator system using video thoracoscopy in a patient with superior vena cava obstruction. Direct right atrial access wasused for all leads andan endocardial left ventricular lead wasdeliveredvia atrial t...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Pacing in a Patient with a Mechanical Tricuspid Prosthesis and High Surgical Risk
Transvenous endocardial pacemaker (PM) implantation is contraindicated in patients with a mechanical tricuspid prosthesis. These patients usually undergo epicardial lead implantation. This case shows the implant of left ventricular (LV) pacing lead through the coronary sinus (CS) in a patient with high surgical risk. A 77-year-old woman with slow atrial fibrillation, left anterior hemiblock and...
