Persistent fever after pacemaker lead extraction
The implant indication of cardiac electronic devices continues to expand; therefore, we have observed increasing complications related to their removal. We describe the case of a patient who presented with prolonged bloodstream infection after having undergone removal of a pacemaker. After extensive workup for fever of unknown origin and antibiotic therapy without any improvement, it was possib...
متن کاملPacemaker and defibrillator lead extraction.
Surgically implanted cardiac devices play an important role in the treatment of heart disease. In the 50 years since the first pacemaker was implanted, technology has improved dramatically, and these devices have saved or improved the quality of countless lives. Pacemakers treat slow heart rhythms by increasing the heart rate or by coordinating the heart’s contraction for some heart failure pat...
متن کاملRemnant Pacemaker Lead Tips after Lead Extractions in Pacemaker Infections
Complete hardware removal is recommended in the case of patients with cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) infections. However, the complete extraction of chronically implanted leads is not always achieved. The outcomes and optimal management of CIED infections with retained material after lead extractions have not been elucidated. In this case report, we present five patients wi...
متن کاملUnusual embolization of a pacemaker lead fragment during lead extraction
In 2014, an 84-year-old man with pacemaker erosion was referred to our center. He underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery in 2008 for multivessel coronary artery disease. In 2009, he developed sick sinus syndrome and received a Biotronik Cylos 990 DR-T DDD pacemaker with a 7.2-F Biotronik Selox SR 53 active fixation atrial lead and a 4.8-F Sorin Xfine TX26D passive ventricular lead. In J...
متن کاملReuse of Occluded Veins During Permanent Pacemaker Lead Extraction: A New Indication for Femoral Lead Extraction
OBJECTIVES This study examined the utility of a novel technique for reuse of thrombosed veins when extracting permanent pacemaker leads via a femoral vein approach. BACKGROUND Although lead extraction permanent pacemaker using a femoral approach has advantages over the subclavian approach, it cannot be used to provide access for a new lead using currently employed techniques. This is importan...
