Spontaneous reattachment of a dislodged atrial lead.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute lead dislodgment is a complication that should be managed immediately. Spontaneous reattachment of a dislodged atrial pacing lead has never been reported before. This case report describes a lucky patient whose atrial lead spontaneously gained a new functioning position after dislodgment from its initial implantation site.

Complex percutaneous extraction of a 15-year-old atrial lead dislodged into the subclavian vein
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.
متن کاملComparison of Hyperpolarization-Activiated Current “if ” on the Rate of Spontaneous Activity and Cycle Length before and after Cutting of Atrial Muscle away from Intact Sinoatrial Node of Rabbit
It has been shown that the hyperpolarization-activated current “if” that is blocked by 2 mM Cs+ plays a minor role on pacemaker activity of the center and a major role on activity of the periphery of rabbit intact sino-atrial node. On the other hand some investigations showed that if the atrial muscle, surrounding the sino-atrial node, is cut away there is a shift in leading pacemaker site from...

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 کاملThe Improvement of the Atrial Flutter Rhythm upon the Removal of the Infected Permanent Pacemaker Lead
Pacemaker infection has multiple risk factors. Its presentation is most often similar to infected endocarditis and the diagnosis is made through studying blood cultures. Transesophageal echocardiography can confirm the diagnosis. The most common microorganisms are staphylococcus speciesis. As a matter of fact, complete pacemaker removal appears to be the only definite treatment. We presented a ...
