Extraction of a tunneled jugular defibrillator lead via a superior approach.

چکیده
Extraction of cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIED) is becoming an increasing necessity. Infection is among the most frequent and serious complications associated with the surge of CIED implants. We describe the extraction of an infected cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) in a patient with a tunneled implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) lead implanted from the right jugular vein.

ICD Leads Extraction and Clearing of Access Way in a Patient With Superior Vena Cava Syndrome
Central vein disease is defined as at least 50% narrowing up to total occlusion of central veins of the thorax including superior vena cava, brachiocephalic, subclavian, and internal jugular vein. Thrombosis due to intravascular leads occurs in approximately 30% to 45% of patients early or late after implantation of a pacemaker by transvenous access.In this case, we report a male patient, 65-ye...
متن کاملSuccessful extraction of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead in a patient with pocket infection via the femoral approach with a basket snare
A 27-year-old man was admitted to our institution with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) pocket infection. The ICD (single chamber, dual shock coils) was implanted for the prevention of aborted sudden cardiac death due to idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. Because we could not use locking stylet and countertraction manuever, baseket snare with metal wire should be hanged at the max...

Chronic extensive thrombosis of the venous system is a commonly encountered problem in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing transvenous device implantation, lead extraction or lead revision. We describe a case of an ESRD patient with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) that failed to deliver therapy due to lead fracture. Patient needed revision of the ICD lead system, ...
متن کاملTransvenous Lead Extraction via the Inferior Approach Using a Gooseneck Snare versus Simple Manual Traction
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The number of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices needing lead extraction is increasing for various reasons, including infections, vascular obstruction, and lead failure. We report our experience with transvenous extraction of pacemaker and defibrillator leads via the inferior approach of using a gooseneck snare as a first-line therapy and compare extr...
متن کاملLeft superior vena cava persistence in patients undergoing pacemaker or cardioverter-defibrillator implantation: a 10-year experience.
OBJECTIVE The persistence of a left superior vena cava (LSVC) has been observed in 0.3% of the general population as established by autopsy. In the adult population, it is an important anatomic finding if a left superior approach to the heart is considered. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of a LSVC in patients undergoing pacemaker (PM) and cardioverter-defibrillator (CD) imp...
