Pulmonary embolisation of retained transvenous pacemaker electrode.
When removal of an endocardial pacemaker electrode became necessary in a patient with congestive myocardiopathy, it proved to be incarcerated. Therefore, a portion of it had to be left in site after cutting the external end of the pacing catheter. During follow-up examinations the electrode was seen to migrate in the large veins and finally was found embolized into a pulmonary artery. While the...
متن کاملEarly Malfunction of Transvenous Pacemaker Electrodes
A 3-year study by three medical centers has revealed a 1-year electrode malfunction rate of 7.4%; most malfunctions occurred within the first 30 days. The incidence of unavoidable early malfunction (3.2%) fell within the 5% standards suggested by the committee report of the Inter-Society Committee on Heart Diseases. Incidences of obscure cause (3.2%) may be difficult to identify prospectively a...
متن کاملA Potential Complication of Transvenous Pacemaker Electrodes
Pervenous endocardial pacing using a self-contained, totally implantable system was popularized in this country by Chardack’ in 1965 and subsequently has become the established mode of permanent pacing. Although this intervention may be lifesaving, it is not without risk. Occlusion of major vessels incited by the presence ofa pacing electrode is an extremely rare occurrence. We describe four pa...

متن کاملTranscolonic Migration of Retained Epicardial Pacing Wires
Temporary epicardial pacing wires are associated with rare complications. Most of these occur in the chest. Even rarer are complications that occur within the abdomen. We report a case of migrating epicardial pacing wires entering the abdomen and penetrating the transverse colon found incidentally on colonoscopy in an asymptomatic patient.
