Common Pacemaker Problems: Lead and Pocket Complications
Pacemakers may cause undesirable complications during and after implantation. Complications associated with the implantation procedure are uncommon, but include bleeding, infection, or collapsed lung. Generally, each of these problems can be treated quite effectively. Though rare, pacemaker problems can occur long after the implantation procedure. These "late" complications include generator fa...
متن کاملunusual treatment of pacemaker pocket infection: a case report
pocket infection of a cardiac device is usually treated by removing the device and re - implanting it in a new site after complete treatment of the infection. this report illustrates a complicated case of pocket infection in the wake of the implantation of a permanent pacemaker (cardiac resynchronization therapy). the patient was treated conservatively through daily irrigation and dressing, bro...
متن کاملThe Improvement of the Atrial Flutter Rhythm upon the Removal of the Infected Permanent Pacemaker Lead
Pacemaker infection has multiple risk factors. Its presentation is most often similar to infected endocarditis and the diagnosis is made through studying blood cultures. Transesophageal echocardiography can confirm the diagnosis. The most common microorganisms are staphylococcus speciesis. As a matter of fact, complete pacemaker removal appears to be the only definite treatment. We presented a ...
متن کاملEffect of pocket irrigation with antimicrobial on prevention of pacemaker pocket infection: a meta-analysis
BACKGROUND The presence of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) pocket infection is difficult to treat, causing serious clinical outcomes, but little is known for prevention. Results from some studies suggested that pocket irrigation could reduce infection while others showed conflicting results. We pooled the effects of pocket irrigations on the prevention of pocket infection by meta...
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...
