Assessment of endocardial leads for permanent cardiac pacing.
Catheter tip dislocation is the main complication of permanent pacemaker implantation using the subclavian vein. In this study of 50 patients we compared the incidence of complications using two endocardial electrodes specially designed to prevent tip dislocation. One catheter had a helical endocardial electrode and the other had retractable nylon barbs. The helical electrode was superior in ev...
متن کامل[Pneumopericardium caused by gastropericardial fistula].
This is the case of a 56-year-old male who presented at our Emergency Room complaining of severe epigastric pain that radiated towards the left shoulder and neck. Pneumopericardium was diagnosed with plain chest X-rays, which indicated a gastropericardial fistula. A contrast X-ray film was taken using a water-soluble contrast. A full gastrectomy was performed with esophagojejunostomy reconstruc...
متن کاملTargeted left ventricular endocardial pacing using a steerable introducing guide catheter and active fixation pacing lead.
AIMS Cardiac resynchronization therapy via the coronary sinus (CS) is not always possible. Left ventricular (LV) endocardial lead placement is a potential alternative. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of endocardial LV pacing using a steerable lead introducer and active fixation polyurethane lead. METHODS AND RESULTS Endocardial LV lead placement was attempted in nine p...
متن کاملA pneumopericardium caused by gastric ulcer perforation.
A 72-year-old man with a history of chemoradiation therapy for lung cancer and with known gastric ulcer was admitted due to chest pain. On day 6, a chest X-ray showed air around the heart (Picture 1) and computed tomography showed a fistula between the pericardium and the gastric ulcer (Picture 2). A diagnosis of cardiac tamponade caused by a pneumopericardium was made, and a drainage tube was ...
متن کاملEndocardial fibrosis. Detection by cardiac pacing.
ENDOCARDIAL FIBROSIS occurs in diverse diseases. An infantile form appears to reflect an unexplained congenital derangement in which a thick layer of collagen and elastin lines the left ventricular cavity.' Sporadic instances noted in the adolescent have also been presumed to be of congenital origin.2 A poorly understood cause of heart failure occurs frequently in Uganda and South Africa in ass...
