Simple and effective solution for diaphragm pacing by that uses the transvenous femoral approach in a patient treated with cardiac resynchronization-defibrillator therapy: The wrapping method

چکیده
The use of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has become widespread in patients with heart failure who meet the criteria for implantation. Coronary sinus lead positioning is important to provide the intended biventricular stimulation. Diaphragm pacing is a lead-related complication which occurs secondary to phrenic nerve stimulation. We present the case of a 58-year-old male patient who had diaphragm pacing after CRT with defibrillator implantation. The complication was resolved by using the transvenous femoral approach with the wrapping method.

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...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Pacing and Defibrillation
Most current pacemaker and ICD systems involve placement of lead(s) transvenously into the heart, connected to a pulse generator. Vascular access may be difficult or limited in some patients, and intravascular leads can be associated with multiple complications such as infection, lead malfunction and vascular occlusion. Recent advances in pacing and ICDs include the development of subcutaneous ...

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 ...

An 81-year-old man was referred with an infected cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) system. His initial dualchamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) had been implanted 8 years earlier and upgraded to a CRT-D system 2 years before referral. Epicardial atrial and left ventricular (LV) leads were subsequently added after the endocardial LV lead lost capture. The en...

The emergence of pacing and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) systems, along with expanding indications of these devices (e.g., cardiac resynchronization therapy and sudden cardiac death prevention), increasing infection rates, and device recalls have created the need for removing and upgrading these systems due to various reasons. Removing the pulse generator of a system is generall...
