Complications of Pacemaker Implantation
Approximately 180000 patients undergo pacemaker implantation in the U.S each year [1]. In addition, the extreme elderly are the most rapidly growing segment of the U.S. [2,3] and pacemakers are commonly implanted in this population. There are reports of pacemaker implant complications (generally clinical trials reporting outcomes and incident complication rates) and fewer reports of complicatio...
متن کاملA Complication of an Implanted Electric Pacemaker.
T HIS 56-YEAR-OLD MAN WAS ADMITTED to Hahnemann Hospital because of frequent Adams-Stokes attacks. He had experienced an acute myocardial infarction in 1958 and again in 1961. Frequent convulsions occurred in spite of administration of atropine, isoproterenol, and chlorothiazide. On January 3, 1962, an electric pacemaker was implanted on the left ventricle. The following electrocardiographic st...

Case reports Case 1 A 65-year-old diabetic lady had been treated with Saventrine since 1965 for her heart block. In September 1971 she developed frequent StokesAdams attacks for which a ventricular inhibited intracardiac pacemaker was implanted. Within 24 hr of implantation she developed frequent ventricular extra-systoles which responded to procainamide. Subsequently she developed lignocaine-r...
متن کاملSevere obstructive sleep apnea: first screening with an implanted pacemaker
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a chronic condition associated with cardiovascular disease. In some pacemakers, an advanced algorithm using transthoracic impedance may be used to identify SAS. This algorithm may be also a useful tool for a long-term monitoring helping physicians to optimize therapy, reducing risk factors, and improving therapeutic compliance.
متن کاملCommon Pacemaker Problems: Lead and Pocket Complications
Pacemakers may cause undesirable complications during and after implantation. Complications associated with the implantation procedure are uncommon, but include bleeding, infection, or collapsed lung. Generally, each of these problems can be treated quite effectively. Though rare, pacemaker problems can occur long after the implantation procedure. These "late" complications include generator fa...
