Delayed Perforation of the Right Ventricular Wall by a Single Standard-Caliber Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Lead Detected by Multidetector Computed Tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an unusual case of a delayed right ventricular perforation by a single standard-caliber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead, which manifested 14 days after implantation. Multidetector computed tomography could clearly display the lead perforation, and allow for identification of the associated sequelae such as pericardial effusion and planning the lead extraction strategy.

Missed diagnosis: Dual right ventricular lead perforation resulting in chest pain
Introduction Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead perforations are well described and may cause many complications. Delayed cardiac perforation (DCP) is a less recognized complication of device implantation and is believed to be rare. We present a case of DCP wherein 2 simultaneous ICD lead perforations occurred in the right ventricle (RV) and were overlooked on chest...

INTRODUCTION Heart perforation is a rare complication of pacemaker (PM)/implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS In our clinic in 2005-2010, 6 patients with heart perforation were hospitalized (3 women, 3 men), mean age 58.6 ±20.8 years (17 to 73 years). The indication to PM/ICD implantation was tachy-brady syndrome in 3 cases, second-degree atrioventric...

Delayed lead perforation (DLP) is an uncommon complication of permanent pacemaker and defibrillator implantation, especially that of the right atrium (RA).1 Lead perforation is considered delayed when it occurs 30 days after implantation. The incidence of DLP has been reported to be 0.8% and is more common in elderly individuals.1,2 With the yearly increase in implanted devices, and the advance...
متن کاملCardiac chambers perforation by pacemaker and cardioverter-defibrillator leads. Own experience in diagnosis, treatment and preventive methods.
Cardiac chamber perforation is an uncommon, but potentially dangerous, complication of implantation of a pacemaker (PM) or a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Different clinical presentations are related to the time between implantation and perforation, localisation of the perforation and concomitant lesions in neighbouring organs. Diagnosis is based on concomitant analysis of the clinical p...
متن کاملImplantable cardioverter-defibrillator in a patient with dextrocardia situs inversus
Background: Dextrocardia is a congenital anomaly, which may have coexistent coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmias and conventional indications for device therapy. However, the implantation of transvenous leads can be technically challenging and the approach needs to be tailored to the patient's individual anatomy. Case presentation: A 54-year-old male with dextrocardia situs inversus and i...
