A Rare Cause of Cardiac Tamponade: Left Ventricular Pacemaker Malposition
The malpositioning of a pacemaker lead is an uncommon and under-reported complication of pacemaker/Automated Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (AICD) placement. It can be associated with complications such as pericardial effusions and tamponade. We describe a case of an elderly woman who developed cardiac tamponade after inadvertent placement of a permanent pacing lead in the left ventricl...
متن کاملAmoebiasis: a rare cause of cardiac tamponade.
Cardiac tamponade secondary to perforation of a hepatic amoebic abscess developed six years after the patient had visited an area where Entamoeba histolytica is endemic. He was treated with metronidazole and imipenem, emergency percutaneous catheter drainage, and open surgical drainage.
متن کاملCardiac tamponade in left ventricular dysfunction.
Echocardiographic and hemodynamic data were measured in closed-chest dogs during graded cardiac tamponade (pericardial pressure 5, 10, and 15 mm Hg) before and after production of diffuse ischemic left ventricular dysfunction. Left ventricular dysfunction was produced by intracoronary injection of nonradioactive microspheres (54 +/- 3.9 mm diameter). Changes in left atrial pressure with cardiac...
متن کاملMalposition of pacing lead into the left ventricle: a rare complication of pacemaker insertion.
To cite: Bashir A, Noroozian N, Bradlow W, et al. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013202131 DESCRIPTION A 79-year-old woman presented with infection and erosion of a permanent pacemaker, which had been inserted 15 years earlier. A chest X-rays showed an abnormal position of ventricular lead, suggesting it was in the left rather than right ventricl...
متن کاملCongenital left ventricular diverticula: a rare cause of sudden cardiac death.
Congenital left ventricular diverticula are a rare cause of sudden cardiac death. We describe the first reported case of ventricular fibrillation in association with congenital diverticula of the heart. The diagnosis of left ventricular diverticula was made by cardiac catheterization and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment was initiated with anti-arrhythmic and anticoagulant drug...
