Temporary left ventricular pacing improves haemodynamic performance in patients requiring epicardial pacing post cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVE In the 1990s, sequential atrio-ventricular pacing demonstrated haemodynamic benefit relative to right ventricular pacing in patients with sinus rhythm requiring pacing post cardiopulmonary bypass. The benefit of biventricular pacing has been demonstrated in non-surgical patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction. It was hypothesised that left ventricular pacing would increase c...

متن کاملLetter to the Editor Temporary left ventricular pacing after cardiac surgery
In response to our meta-analysis [1] comparing surgical versus percutaneous treatment of isolated LAD disease, Takagi et al. [2] present, in the form of a letter to the editor of the European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery, the results of a ‘sub-meta-analysis’ of a subset of randomized trials where only minimally invasive bypass techniques were utilized for surgical revascularization. The a...
متن کاملTemporary epicardial left ventricular and biventricular pacing improves cardiac output after cardiopulmonary bypass
BACKGROUND To evaluate, with different pacing modes, acute changes in left ventricular systolic function, obtained by continuous cardiac output thermodilution in various subsets of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. Increments of mean arterial pressure and cardiac output were considered the end point. METHODS Fifty cases electively submitted to cardiac surgery were analyzed. ...
متن کاملEmergency Pneumonectomy: A Life-Saving Measure for Severe Recurrent Hemoptysis in Tuberculosis Cavitary Lesion
Hemoptysis constitutes a common and urgent medical problem. Swift and effective management is of crucial importance, especially in severe, life-threatening cases. Because of bronchial artery or a branch of pulmonary artery erosion due to cavitary infiltration, bronchiectasis, fungus ball, broncholithiasis, or destroyed lung, the bleeding can lead to highly compromised gas exchange or sometimes ...
