Ratchet-traction effect: an underdiagnosed mechanism of pacing lead dislodgement.
Pacing lead dislodgement contributes substantially, to the list of causes of early pacemaker failure. Reel's syndrome is a rare cause of pacemaker failure, resulting from the dislodging of pacing electrodes by manipulation of the pulse generator by the patient. We describe here an intriguing case of pacemaker lead dislodgement by a novel and frequently underdiagnosed mechanism that mimicked the...
متن کاملSubcutaneous ICD lead position affects defibrillation threshold
Introduction Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICD) provide an alternative to traditional transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (TV-ICD) and avoid complications associated with intravascular access and leads. They are highly effective in detecting and treating ventricular arrhythmias, with comparable inappropriate shock rates. Use of S-ICD is anticipated to i...
متن کاملImplantation of additional defibrillation lead into the coronary sinus: an effective method of decreasing defibrillation threshold.
We report a case of successful implantation of an additional defibrillation lead into the coronary sinus due to high defibrillation threshold (DFT) in a seriously ill patient with a history of extensive myocardial infarction referred for implantable cardioverter- defibrillator implantation after an episode of unstable ventricular tachycardia. All previous attempts to reduce DFT, including subcu...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of the Emergence of Defibrillation Syndrome: Methods of Immediate Diagnosis and Treatment
Different mechanisms leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) are briefly discussed and the hemorrhagic diathesis which is brought about by this consumption coagulopathy is visualized. Since there is an emergency need for correct management of the disorder. The problem is simplified in order, any physician, to be able to understand the syndrome and to be catious in treating t...
