Pacemaker Failure Due to Loss of Fluid Seal in a Patient with a 5/6mm Pacemaker Header Port and a 5mm Unipolar Lead
INTRODUCTION Before IS-1 (3.2 mm) standardization of pacemaker leads and connectors, 5/6 mm connector ports accomodated 5mm or 6mm diameter lead connector pins. CASE REPORT A patient with sick sinus syndrome underwent implantation of a 5mm unipolar atrial lead, mated to a 5/6mm connector port Medtronic Spectrax Sx 5985 pacemaker. Pulse generator reached ERI in 2006, with change out to a Medtr...

15 صفحه اولPacemaker syndrome with sub-acute left ventricular systolic dysfunction in a patient with a dual-chamber pacemaker: consequence of lead switch at the header
In the daily practice of pacemaker insertion, the occurrence of atrial and ventricular lead switch at the pacemaker box header is a rare and unintentional phenomenon, with less than five cases reported in the literature. The lead switch may have dire consequences, depending on the indication for the pacemaker. One of these consequences is pacemaker syndrome, in which the normal sequence of atri...
متن کاملTricuspid valve stenosis due to a pacemaker lead.
the maximum gradient was 11 mm Hg, mean gradient 7.7 mm Hg, and the area was 0.76 cm2 (Figure 1). During surgery, we found a highly unstructured tricuspid valve with severe stenosis due to fusion of the commissures and thickening of the subvalvular apparatus (Figure 2A). The lead was embedded in one of the tricuspid leaflets (Figure 2B), and therefore, any attempt at repair was impossible. Valv...
متن کاملPacemaker Lead Endocarditis Due to Trichosporon Species.
Pacemaker-related fungal endocarditis is an uncommon and unexpected complication. It is associated with high mortality rates. Due to nonspecific clinical symptoms, negative blood culture and delays in obtaining appropriate imaging studies; late diagnosis is common with fungal endocarditis. Hereby we are reporting a rare case of pacemaker lead endocarditis due to Trichosporon species. In literat...
