Determinants of procedural outcome of chronically implanted pacemaker and defibrillator leads using the Excimer laser sheath.
The extraction of chronic pacemaker and internal cardioverter defibrillator leads is performed for a number of reasons including chronic infection, lead dysfunction, and venous obstruction. Traditionally leads were removed by traction which is associated with a high incidence of failure and serious complications. This has led to the introduction of laser lead extraction (LLE) which is a safe an...
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 کاملCurrent pacemaker and defibrillator therapy.
BACKGROUND Pacemakers have been available for 50 years, and implantable cardiac defibrillators for 25. Clear indications for each have been established on the basis of data from randomized clinical trials (RCTs). METHODS This review article is the product of a collaborative effort by a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon. The authors arrived at a consensus through a selective review of the lit...
متن کاملPrevalence of Echocardiographic Features Suggesting Cardiac Sarcoidosis in Patients With Pacemaker or Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Basal septal thinning or localized aneurysmal dilatation without coronary artery disease has been described as a characteristic finding suggestive of cardiac sarcoidosis. We sought to assess the prevalence of this characteristic echocardiographic finding in patients with pacemaker (PM) or implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Echocardiography ...
متن کاملRandomized trial of atrial arrhythmia monitoring to guide anticoagulation in patients with implanted defibrillator and cardiac resynchronization devices.
AIMS Atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs) detected by implanted devices are often atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF) associated with stroke. We hypothesized that introduction and termination of anticoagulation based upon AT monitoring would reduce both stroke and bleeding. METHODS AND RESULTS We randomized 2718 patients with dual-chamber and biventricular defibrillators to start and stop anticoagul...
