Long-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 ...
متن کاملSuccessful transvenous lead extraction after a failed open surgical attempt.
An 81-year-old man was referred with an infected cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) system. His initial dualchamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) had been implanted 8 years earlier and upgraded to a CRT-D system 2 years before referral. Epicardial atrial and left ventricular (LV) leads were subsequently added after the endocardial LV lead lost capture. The en...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography-guided cardioversion after cardiac operations.
BACKGROUND Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is often performed during cardiac operations. The need to repeat TEE to exclude left atrial or left atrial appendage thrombus before direct current cardioversion (DCCV) in patients with a recent intraoperative TEE showing no thrombus is unclear. We sought to determine the incidence of and risk factors for new thrombus in patients undergoing TEE-...
متن کاملGastroesophageal perforation after intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.
THE use of transesophageal echocardiography for intraoperative monitoring of cardiac function is increasing. Complications are rare. Oropharyngeal injury and hypopharyngeal perforation during difficult insertion of the echoprobe in anesthetized patients have been reported. [1,2] One case of perforation of the cervical esophagus in an awake patient after multiple attempts at insertion of the ech...
متن کاملThe details of an unusual “ghost” after transvenous lead extraction: Three-dimensional computed tomography analysis
Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) is performed to prevent deaths in patients with device infections. Intracardiac masses detected by echocardiography, i.e., "ghosts," are reported in 8% of patients after a TLE in retrospective studies and in 14% in prospective studies. We herein describe a case with unusual ghosts after a TLE. Three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) is useful for revealing...
