Coronary vein balloon angioplasty for left ventricular pacemaker lead implantation.
OBJECTIVES Retrospective analysis of five cases of coronary vein balloon angioplasty performed to allow insertion of left ventricular pacing leads. BACKGROUND Coronary vein stenoses or an insufficient vessel caliber can preclude transvenous placement of coronary vein leads. METHODS We compared our total patient population (n = 218), in whom we implanted coronary vein leads, to those five pa...
متن کاملsuccessful implantation of coronary sinus lead after balloon angioplasty of a coronary vein stenosis
a 55-year-old man referred for cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt) due to severe heart failure. a severe stenosis in the coronary sinus vein after the posterior branch disallowed the insertion of the lead. nevertheless, the stenosis was dilated and the left ventricle (lv) lead was implanted in the lateral marginal branch.
متن کاملOcclusion of the proximal subclavian vein complicating pacemaker lead implantation.
A set of images in which a pacemaker lead replacement procedure was complicated by occlusion of the proximal subclavian vein is presented. However, this was not detected on venography performed before the procedure. Physicians should be aware of a more proximal occlusion of the subclavian vein while replacing pacemaker leads, even in cases with seemingly normal venography.
متن کاملMRI for Visualization of Coronary Vein Branches Used for Pacemaker Lead Implantation
Purpose Approximately one third of all patients who undergo Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) using a biventricular pacemaker do not benefit from the procedure [1]. Studies have shown that the location of the left ventricular (LV) lead plays an important role in dictating whether patients benefit from the procedure [2,3]. Patients benefit most when the LV lead is placed in the latest cont...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Superior Vena Cava Syndrome Induced by Transvenous Permanent Pacemaker Implantation with Balloon Angioplasty
Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is a rare but potentially lethal complication of transvenous permanent pacemaker implantation. The pathogenesis is unclear, but thrombosis and fibrotic constriction of the vessels are believed to be responsible for this situation. Multiple, severed, and previously infected leads may increase the risk of SVC syndrome, but are not prerequisite for it. Anticoagula...
