The insufficiency of left anterior oblique and the usefulness of right anterior oblique projection for correct localization of a computed tomography-verified right ventricular lead into the midseptum.
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to verify the correct anchoring location for the tip of the right ventricular lead using cardiac computed tomography and to assess the best fluoroscopic and ECG criteria associated with the correct location of the electrode into the midseptum. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients indicated to pacemaker implantation were prospectively enrolled. The right ventricular...
متن کاملTale of a Wandering Lead: Late Atrial Lead Perforation into Right Lung following Pacemaker Implantation
Cardiac perforation by a pacemaker lead is a rare complication of pacemaker implantation. Presentation can vary from chest pain and shortness of breath to the patient being completely asymptomatic. Diagnosis is usually made by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan of the chest. Electrocardiograph (EKG) usually shows the absence of a paced rhythm, but it doesn't provide a definitive di...
متن کاملThe Accuracy of Ultrasonography in Compared with Computed Tomography in Detection of Anterior Mediastinal Neoplasms
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of mediastinal sonography, and compared with CT, in detection of anterior mediastinal neoplasms. Materials and Methods The sonography with convex probes (5.0 and 7.5 MHz) was done prospectively for 34 patients (from 2 to 25 years old) with mediastinal mass. The results were compared with the results of ...
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...
