Retrieval of the Leadless Cardiac Pacemaker
Leadless cardiac pacemakers (LPs) have emerged as a safe and effective alternative to conventional transvenous pacemakers for patients with an indication for single-chamber ventricular pacing. In 2 prospective studies with intermediate follow-up, leadless pacemakers exhibited high acute implantation success rates and stable pacing performance at 6 months. Despite these promising results, the ab...
متن کاملLeadless Pacemaker: a New Concept in Cardiac Pacing
DOI: 10.5935/abc.20160144 67 year-old female patient, pacemaker user since 1983 due to complete atrioventricular block. Between 1991 and 2004, the patient underwent six surgeries. The first was to replace the batteries, and the others for electrode displacement, generator extrusion, and finally for endocarditis, when surgical extraction of the system and epicardial electrode implantation in the...
متن کاملImplantation of a leadless cardiac pacemaker for recurrent pocket infections
Infections involving cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) remain an unfortunate indication for repeated device-related procedures, including extractions and reimplantations. Recurrent infections involving transvenous leads and superficial device pockets may eventually lead to epicardial lead implantation and generator placement in deeper tissue planes, both of which require a m...
متن کاملSimultaneous atrioventricular node ablation and leadless pacemaker implantation☆☆☆
Introduction The ablate-and-pace technique is a well-established method to treat patients with persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with poor rate control on medical therapy.1 The technique represents a class IIa indication to control heart rates when pharmacologic therapy is insufficient or intolerable.2 As many of these patients are in permanent atrial fibrillation, they frequently r...
متن کاملRescue Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in a Pacemaker-Dependent Patient with Congenital Heart Disease and no Alternative Routes for Pacing.
Congenital heart disease patients are considered a unique group of patients regarding their high risk of conduction abnormalities , whether de novo or surgically induced , and the challenges in both implantation and management of device related complications. We present a case of a pacemaker-dependent patient with congenital heart disease who experienced complications of both previous epicardia...
