Removal of a chronically implanted active-fixation coronary sinus pacing lead using the Cook Evolution(C) lead extraction sheath.
Case report An 80-year-old man with an implanted resynchronization therapy pacemaker device was referred to our institution in October 2011 to perform a transvenous lead and generator removal for a severe pocket infection. As left ventricular pacing lead, an unipolar activefixation coronary sinus (CS) lead (Attain StarFix 4195OTW,Medtronic Inc.), positioned in a lateral coronary vein, had been ...
متن کاملCoronary Sinus Lead Removal: A Comparison between Active and Passive Fixation Leads.
BACKGROUND Implantation of coronary sinus (CS) leads may be a difficult procedure due to different vein anatomies and a possible lead dislodgement. The mode of CS lead fixation has changed and developed in recent years. OBJECTIVES We compared the removal procedures of active and passive fixation leads. METHODS Between January 2009 and January 2014, 22 patients at our centre underwent CS lea...
متن کاملUnexpected challenging case of coronary sinus lead extraction
An 84-year-old woman implanted with cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator underwent transvenous lead extraction 4 mo after the implant due to pocket infection. Atrial and right ventricular leads were easily extracted, while the attempt to remove the coronary sinus (CS) lead was unsuccessful. A few weeks later a new extraction procedure was performed in our center. A stepwise approach ...
متن کاملOvercoming an impossible anatomy with a novel left ventricular active fixation lead in the coronary sinus: A case report
Introduction Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has proved to be beneficial for patients with moderate-to-severe heart failure with prolonged QRS duration and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Placement of a left ventricular (LV) lead in an adequate location has been shown to increase response to CRT but can become a complex procedure because of challenging coronary vein anatomie...
متن کاملActive fixation pacemaker lead perforating cardiac wall.
We present the case of a 90-year-old male patient transferred from another hospital with a diagnosis of pacemaker dysfunction. A permanent pacemaker had been placed one month previously for complete atrioventricular block. At a scheduled checkup with his cardiologist, he reported that he had started experiencing exertional dyspnea and pleuritic pain a few days after discharge. The electrocardio...
