Permanent pacemaker implantation after cardiac transplantation: extra cost of a conservative policy.
OBJECTIVE To determine the costs of a change in permanent pacemaker implantation policy to later implantation (day 21+) after cardiac transplantation. DESIGN Retrospective review of patient records including duration of temporary pacing, timed of permanent pacemaker implantation, and length of hospital stay for every patient surviving > or = 14 days from November 1990 to August 1995 (period 2...

متن کاملPermanent pacemaker use after cardiac transplantation: completing the audit cycle.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of delaying permanent pacemaker implantation in cardiac transplant recipients from less than tree weeks to three weeks or more post transplantation-a change prompted by an earlier audit.

متن کاملTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy after Permanent Pacemaker Implantation
A 78-year-old woman presented to our emergency room because of complete atrioventricular block. The patient experienced significant psychophysical stress during pacemaker implantation due to fear of operation. Acute lung edema occurred four hours after permanent pacemaker implantation. Coronary angiography showed no significant coronary artery stenosis and left ventriculography revealed typical...
متن کاملMarked troponin elevation after implantation of a permanent antibradycardia pacemaker.
INTRODUCTION Transvenous insertion of endocardial leads for permanent pacing is often accompanied by minor myocardial damage, detected thanks to the high sensitivity of cardiac troponins. It is unknown whether higher troponin levels, commensurate with more severe myocardial damage, can be encountered after implantation procedures. METHODS Over a 3-year period, 283 patients underwent an implan...
