Effective Percutaneous Repositioning of an Active Fixation ICD Lead
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of effective trans catheter repositioning of an ICD lead that was displaced during a trans venous extraction procedure of another malfunctioning ICD lead. This original technique was effective also in screwing-in the active fixation tip of the lead. Skilled operators could take into account this technique to avoid the re-opening of the device pocket, when dealing with specific situations at high risk of infection.

Successful percutaneous repositioning of a dislodged atrial pacemaker lead with a deflectable catheter.
A 67-year-old male patient with ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy underwent implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator with cardiac resynchronization therapy about one month ago. The implantation process was successful and the patient was discharged in good condition. At the routine first month follow-up, pacemaker analysis revealed that there was no atrial pacing and sensing, alth...
متن کاملInadvertent Transarterial Lead Placement in the Left Ventricle and Aortic Cusp: Percutaneous Lead Removal with Carotid Embolic Protection and Stent Graft Placement
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Transarterial lead implantation in the left ventricle or aorta is a rare complication. Percutaneous lead removal is associated with significant thromboembolic and bleeding risk. We present two cases of lead removal from the left ventricle via the left subclavian artery with concurrent carotid embolic protection followed by stent graft placement in the subclavian artery. MET...
متن کاملMorphology Of Current Of Injury Does Not Predict Long Term Active Fixation ICD Lead Performance
BACKGROUND Currents of injury (COI) have been associated with improved lead performance during perioperative measurements in pacemaker and ICD implants. Their relevance on long term lead stability remains unclear. METHODS Unipolar signals were recorded immediately after active fixation ICD lead positioning, blinded to the implanting surgeon. Signals were assigned to prespecified COI types by ...
متن کاملRisk factors of loss reduction after percutaneous fixation in supracondylar humerus in pediatric: a descriptive-analytical study
Background & Aims: supracondylar humerus fracture is one of the most common pediatric elbow fractures accounting for about 16% of the pediatric fractures. Loss of reduction is one of the complications after closed and percutaneous fixation. This research is aimed to investigate the factors involved in the loss of reduction. Method: In this descriptive study, the children with supracondylar hum...
متن کاملChanging place, changing future: Repositioning a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator can resolve inappropriate shocks secondary to myopotential oversensing
Introduction The clinical benefits of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy have been widely documented in clinical studies of selected patient populations. Subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) is a valid alternative to transvenous ICDinpatientswhodonot require cardiac resynchronization or antibradycardia or antitachycardia pacing, and has the additional advantage of avoiding possible acute ...
