Pacemaker and defibrillator lead extraction.
Surgically implanted cardiac devices play an important role in the treatment of heart disease. In the 50 years since the first pacemaker was implanted, technology has improved dramatically, and these devices have saved or improved the quality of countless lives. Pacemakers treat slow heart rhythms by increasing the heart rate or by coordinating the heart’s contraction for some heart failure pat...
متن کاملMycobacterium fortuitum causing infection of a biventricular pacemaker/implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
Increased utilization of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED) has seen a corresponding rise in related infections. Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) are rarely the cause. Treatment involves susceptibilities, antimicrobials, and device removal. This study presents a patient who underwent a biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator upgrade with a multi-drug resistant ...
متن کاملBiventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator post-implant radiology: a unique image.
A 72-year-old man was hospitalized for congestive heart failure and had a favorable response to the intensive medical treatment received. The patient had a history of ischemic heart disease with chronic anterior infarction of several years’ duration and three-vessel disease revascularized percutaneously some years previously. Two years before the current hospitalization, he underwent aortic val...
متن کاملAncillary tools in pacemaker and defibrillator lead extraction using a novel lead removal system.
A previous report described our preliminary experience with a highly successful pacing lead removal system (VasoExtor). Extending this experience, we found it necessary to use additional tools to enhance the success of percutaneous lead extraction with this system. In the present series, we used the standard locking stylets (S and K), and recently, one newer type of stylet (Magic) over the last...
متن کاملLoss of cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with a biventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
Here, we discuss the case of a man with a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator implantation, who presented to emergency department with decompensated heart failure due to the loss of resynchronization therapy. The reason for the malfunction was left ventricle upper rate interval lock-in due to inappropriate programming of the device.
