Inadvertent Lead Placement In The Left Ventricle: A Case Report And Brief Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inadvertent lead placement in the left ventricle (LV) is an uncommon and often under-diagnosed complication of cardiac device implantation. Thromboembolic (TE) events are common and usually secondary to fibrosis or thrombus formation on or around the lead. Anticoagulation can prevent TE events. Percutaneous and surgical LV lead extractions have been performed successfully, but the risks of percutaneous lead removal are not well-defined. In this report, we describe a case of inadvertent LV lead placement and briefly review the contemporary literature.

Conservative management of superior vena cava injury due to hemodialysis catheter placement: A case report and literature review
We reported the case of a 78-year old woman with the inadvertent superior vena cava injury resulting from hemodialysis catheter placement. The catheter was placed through the left internal jugular vein. Hemodynamics were stable. The initial chest film illustrated an extraluminal catheter and mediastinal widening. The patient did not have hemothorax. Computed tomography venography also confirmed...

INTRODUCTION Inadvertent malposition of a pacemaker ventricular lead into the left ventricle is an uncommon event, and its actual incidence is probably unknown. It may be underestimated and underreported because of a possible asymptomatic course. A 12-lead electrocardiogram is important to confirm proper placement. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 60-year-old Caucasian man with a malpo...

متن کاملPacemaker lead malpositioning led to subsequent ischemic strokes despite antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy
Pacemaker lead malpositioning may lead to severe clinical adverse events. Rarely, cases of inadvertent placement of a lead into the left ventricle are reported in the literature. We herein report a case of pacemaker lead malpositioning into the left ventricle via a persistent foramen ovale in a male caucasian patient. After this procedural adverse event, the patient suffered from two ischemic s...
متن کاملInadvertent placement of pacemaker lead into the systemic ventricle in repaired D-transposition of the great arteries.
We report a case of a 27-year-old man with Senning repair of D-transposition of the great arteries. A dual-chamber pacemaker was placed for syncope due to sinoatrial node dysfunction 3 years before this presentation. He had no further syncope but complained of dyspnea on exertion and mild exercise intolerance. A routine chest x-ray and transthoracic echocardiography suggested the presence of a ...
