Safety of magnetic resonance imaging in patients with implanted cardiac prostheses and metallic cardiovascular electronic devices.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with implanted cardiac prostheses and metallic cardiovascular electronic devices is sometimes a risky procedure. Thus MRI in these patients should be performed when it is the only examination able to help with the diagnosis. Moreover the diagnostic benefit must outweigh the risks. Coronary artery stents, prosthetic cardiac valves, metal sternal sutur...
متن کاملSurgical and electrophysiological considerations in the management of a patient with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery
The use of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been the standard of care in the management of patients who have experienced sudden cardiac death and also for those patients at risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. These transvenous systems carry a substantial risk of periprocedural complications including pneumothorax, cardiac perforation, pericardial effusion or t...

متن کاملRoutine exercise testing could not predict T‐wave oversensing in a patient after a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator implant
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICDs) are susceptible to T-wave oversensing (TWOS) caused by high rate-dependent QRS-T morphology changes. We experienced an inappropriate S-ICD shock due to TWOS, which could not be predicted by routine exercise testing. A newly available high-pass filter might be effective for avoiding this.
متن کاملSubsternal implantation of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with preexisting Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow graft
Central vein stenosis is a well-documented consequence of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices. In hemodialysis patients, where preserving venous real estate is crucial, use of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICDs) remains controversial. We present a novel approach for implanting an S-ICD in a patient with endstage renal disease, central venous stenosis, and pre...
