Safety and effectiveness of transvenous lead extraction in elderly patients.
BACKGROUND There is a considerable controversy regarding safety of transvenous lead extraction (TLE) in elderly patients due to their potentially worse general condition, more concomitant diseases, more difficult sedation or analgesia. Moreover, the present experience is not relevant. The aim of the study was the comparison of safety and feasibility of TLE in elderly and middle-aged patients. ...
متن کاملForces Applied during Transvenous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Lead Removal
METHODS 17 physicians, experienced in transvenous lead removal, performed a lead extraction manoeuvre of an ICD lead on a torso phantom. They were advised to stop traction only when further traction would be considered as harmful to the patient or when--based on their experience--a change in the extraction strategy was indicated. Traction forces were recorded with a digital precision gauge. R...
متن کاملTransvenous Pacemaker Lead Removal in Pacemaker Lead Endocarditis with Large Vegetations: A Report of Two Cases
Pacemaker lead endocarditis is treated with total removal of the infected device and proper antibiotics. The outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous lead extraction for large vegetations (>2 cm) have not yet been shown. In this case report, we present two patients with pacemaker lead endocarditis with large vegetations of maximum diameter 2.4 cm and 3.2 cm. The first patient had multiple v...
متن کاملSafety of transvenous lead extraction according to centre volume: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is a complex invasive procedure and the experience of the operator and the team is a major determinant of procedural outcomes. AIM Because of very limited data available on minimum procedural volumes to enable training and ongoing competency for TLEs, we performed a meta-analysis aimed at assessing the outcomes of TLE in the centres with low, mediu...
متن کاملLong-term mortality after transvenous lead extraction.
BACKGROUND The number of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices has increased progressively and has led to an increased need for transvenous lead extraction (TLE). Multiple reports of TLE procedural outcomes exist; however, data regarding postprocedural and long-term mortality are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a retrospective study of consecutive patients undergoing TLE at ...
