Leadless cardiac pacing
Transvenous cardiac pacemakers definitely improve quality of life and reduce mortality in at-risk patients, but they are associated with several potential device-related complications. Approximately 10% of patients experience complications related to transvenous implantation of the pacemaker. These may be attributable to either the pulse generator (hematoma, skin breakdown, pocket infection) or...
متن کاملLeadless Pacemaker: a New Concept in Cardiac Pacing
DOI: 10.5935/abc.20160144 67 year-old female patient, pacemaker user since 1983 due to complete atrioventricular block. Between 1991 and 2004, the patient underwent six surgeries. The first was to replace the batteries, and the others for electrode displacement, generator extrusion, and finally for endocarditis, when surgical extraction of the system and epicardial electrode implantation in the...
متن کاملImplantation of a leadless cardiac pacemaker for recurrent pocket infections
Infections involving cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) remain an unfortunate indication for repeated device-related procedures, including extractions and reimplantations. Recurrent infections involving transvenous leads and superficial device pockets may eventually lead to epicardial lead implantation and generator placement in deeper tissue planes, both of which require a m...
متن کاملPermanent leadless cardiac pacing: results of the LEADLESS trial.
BACKGROUND Conventional cardiac pacemakers are associated with several potential short- and long-term complications related to either the transvenous lead or subcutaneous pulse generator. We tested the safety and clinical performance of a novel, completely self-contained leadless cardiac pacemaker. METHODS AND RESULTS The primary safety end point was freedom from complications at 90 days. Sec...
متن کاملRescue Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in a Pacemaker-Dependent Patient with Congenital Heart Disease and no Alternative Routes for Pacing.
Congenital heart disease patients are considered a unique group of patients regarding their high risk of conduction abnormalities , whether de novo or surgically induced , and the challenges in both implantation and management of device related complications. We present a case of a pacemaker-dependent patient with congenital heart disease who experienced complications of both previous epicardia...
