Pacemaker lead endocarditis with hiccups (Kalayci)
Background: Lead-related infections that might develop after pacemaker implantation associated with high mortality and morbidity rates are challenging to manage and pose high-cost. Patients with lead-related infections usually present with fever, chills and fatigue and the treatment can be challenging unless the implant system is extracted. Case presentation: A 66-year old male patient who und...
متن کاملTransvenous Pacemaker Lead Removal in Pacemaker Lead Endocarditis with Large Vegetations: A Report of Two Cases
Pacemaker lead endocarditis is treated with total removal of the infected device and proper antibiotics. The outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous lead extraction for large vegetations (>2 cm) have not yet been shown. In this case report, we present two patients with pacemaker lead endocarditis with large vegetations of maximum diameter 2.4 cm and 3.2 cm. The first patient had multiple v...
متن کاملOutcomes of Transvenous Lead Extraction for Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device Infections in Patients With Prosthetic Heart Valves.
BACKGROUND Lead-related or valve-related endocarditis can complicate cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infection in patients with both CIED and prosthetic valves. The objective of this study was to determine the outcomes of transvenous lead extraction for CIED infection in patients with prosthetic valves. METHODS AND RESULTS We retrospectively screened 794 transvenous lead e...
متن کاملLead extraction in the contemporary setting: the LExICon study: an observational retrospective study of consecutive laser lead extractions.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to examine the safety and efficacy of laser-assisted lead extraction and the indications, outcomes, and risk factors in a large series of consecutive patients. BACKGROUND The need for lead extraction has been increasing in direct relationship to the increased numbers of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing transv...
متن کاملPartial extravenous course of cardiac pacemaker leads. A major risk during device-assisted extraction
Introduction The intracardiac electronic device implantation rate has been constantly increasing for the last 20 years and is accompanied by an increasing lead extraction rate. Percutaneous extraction of transvenous leads of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices is mandatory in the case of pocket infection and/or system infection, resulting in valvular or lead endocarditis. Lead extract...
