Forces 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 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 ...
متن کاملThe economic impact of transvenous defibrillation lead systems.
The purpose of this study was to compare implant charges and convalescence for transvenous and epicardial defibrillation systems. Hospital stay, intensive care utilization, professional fees, and hospital bills were compared in 44 patients who underwent implantation of a cardiac defibrillator between September 1991 and May 1993. Twenty-five consecutive patients received an epicardial lead syste...
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...
