Complex percutaneous extraction of a 15-year-old atrial lead dislodged into the subclavian vein
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of a 50-year-old patient with DDD pacing failure who underwent atrial lead extraction. The lead was implanted 15 years ago, and 4 months ago it dislodged into the subclavian vein following a fracture. The lead was removed via the femoral vein approach using a Cook Medical device (Byrd Femoral Workstation, Dotter basket) and pigtail catheter.

Transvenous extraction of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead looped and damaged in subclavian vein.
We present a case of damaged lead transvenous extraction in a 26-year-old patient after surgical correction of Fallot tetralogy at the age of nine, and after implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation as secondary prevention at the age of 19. A one-coil passive fixation lead (Medtronic Sprint 6932) was implanted by subclavian venipuncture to the right ventricular apex. In follow-...

A 47 year old female with a history of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and a defibrillator system presented for an infected ICD pocket site, two months after an elective generator change out. The patient was transferred to our institution after a failed lead extraction. During the index procedure, it was discovered she had the RV defibrillation lead implanted via a persistent left-sided SVC. During...

A 67-year-old male patient with ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy underwent implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator with cardiac resynchronization therapy about one month ago. The implantation process was successful and the patient was discharged in good condition. At the routine first month follow-up, pacemaker analysis revealed that there was no atrial pacing and sensing, alth...
متن کاملOvercoming a subclavian complete occlusion: Simple single lead extraction by the subclavian vein allowing implantation of two new leads and upgrade to CRT-P with multi-site pacing.
Central venous obstruction following pacemaker implantation is not uncommon, and can prove challenging in the case of system upgrade. We report a case of DDDR to CRT-P (with multi-site pacing) upgrade, where a subclavian occlusion was overcome resorting to an atrial lead extraction (using only a locking stylet). This allowed regaining of the venous access with subsequent implantation of not jus...
