Subclavian crush syndrome: a cause of pacemaker lead fracture.

چکیده
A 48-year-old male with a symptomatic 2:1 atrio-ventricular block and a dual-chamber pacemaker, implanted one year previously, was admitted due to a syncopal episode. Pacemaker malfunction was identified as the cause of syncope. Subclavian crush syndrome was the cause of the pacemaker malfunction. Its incidence, consequences and management are discussed in this report.

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 ...

Totally implantable venous devices (TIVDs) are now frequently used for the administration of chemotherapy, prolonged intravenous infusion and blood aspiration without repeated venosection in cancer patients. However, the placement of TIVDs using classical subclavian vein puncture method is associated with several complications, such as infection, thrombosis, superior vena cava syndrome, cardiac...
متن کاملDifficult dual stage transcutaneous lead extraction complicated by fracture of both leads.
Extraction of two long-implanted (11 year-old) active leads due to local infection was complicated by the fracture of both leads with a metal sheath. The presence of a temporary pacing lead, inserted due to pacemaker dependence, made extraction even more difficult. The fixation of both proximal extracted lead endings in the occluded subclavian vein was much stronger than the connection of the t...
