متن کاملMitral Annuloplasty Using a Cardiac Resynchronization Device
Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Annuloplasty for mitral regurgitation is in early stages of development and involves a complex intervention which can not be done in patients with left ventricular leads. Since functional mitral regurgitation is common in low ejection fraction states, we propose a device which can serve for annuloplasty in addition to cardiac resynchronization therapy and simplif...
متن کاملEnteroviral infection of a cardiac prosthetic device.
BACKGROUND Identification of the causative pathogen may be challenging in culture negative infective endocarditis (IE). METHODS A 4 month-old 21-trisomic boy with congenital atrioventricular septal defect presented 3 episodes of dehiscence of his prosthetic patch, attributed to IE.

متن کاملComplications of cardiac implants: handling device infections.
Managing patients with cardiac implantable electrophysiological devices (CIED) infections can be challenging. The first step should be prevention, which involves patient selection, timing of implantation, and the procedure itself. After implantation, a high degree of suspicion should be applied in order to correctly diagnose patients with infected implanted devices. It is necessary to recognize...
