Complication of Pacemaker Implantation: An Atrial Lead Perforation
The implantation of permanent pacemakers is increasing year by year, and these devices are constantly being improved. Atrial lead perforation is an infrequent but a critical complication of pacemaker implantation. Recently, there have been increasing reports on the complication with the advances made in imaging modalities, and moreover, computed tomography scans can reveal delayed atrial lead p...
متن کاملSurgical Repair of Subacute Right Ventricular Perforation after Pacemaker Implantation
We report an 84-year-old woman who presented with right ventricular perforation 4 days after pacemaker implantation for syncope due to sick sinus syndrome. Median sternotomy revealed no pericardial effusion, but the pacing lead had penetrated the right ventricle and pericardium. When the pleura was opened, the tip of the lead was seen in the visceral pleura. The lead was cut in the pericardial ...
متن کاملSuccessful management of late right ventricular perforation after pacemaker implantation
Complications of pacemaker implantation include myocardial perforation, venous thrombosis, vegetations of the tricuspid valve or pacing lead, and tricuspid regurgitation. We report a patient presenting with a case of delayed ventricular lead perforation through the right ventricle. The lead was uneventfully extracted under transesophageal echocardiographic observation in the operating room with...
متن کاملTale of a Wandering Lead: Late Atrial Lead Perforation into Right Lung following Pacemaker Implantation
Cardiac perforation by a pacemaker lead is a rare complication of pacemaker implantation. Presentation can vary from chest pain and shortness of breath to the patient being completely asymptomatic. Diagnosis is usually made by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan of the chest. Electrocardiograph (EKG) usually shows the absence of a paced rhythm, but it doesn't provide a definitive di...
متن کاملPacemaker dependency after pacemaker implantation.
BACKGROUND Pacemaker dependency (PD) can be defined as the risk of serious injury or death from sudden pacemaker failure, an event more dangerous than progressive rate decrease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of PD during long-term follow-up after pacing system implantation. METHODS AND RESULTS The study included 3638 patients (mean age 65.3 +/- 10.2 years). Indications f...
