Intraaortic migration of an epicardial pacing wire: percutaneous extraction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infrequent but serious complications have been described in association with temporary epicardial pacing wires. We describe the case of an intraaortic migration of an infected retained atrial temporary epicardial pacing wire and the transfemoral percutaneous interventional approach for its extraction.

A 56-year-old man had left nephrectomy and resection of a cavoatrial tumor thrombus under a cardiopulmonary bypass assist for left renal cell carcinoma. An intraoperative bipolar temporary epicardial atrial pacing wire was removed on postoperative day 8. The patient collapsed on postoperative day 15. Emergent transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography scanning with contrast media de...
متن کاملPericardial complications of endocardial and epicardial pacing.
A patient with complete atrioventricular block was fitted with a temporary endocardial pacing wire via a right subclavian percutaneous approach. The result was initially satisfactory, but within a few days radiography for left-sided chest pain showed pneumopericardium. A permanent epicardial pacing system was therefore substituted and she remained well for three months. She was then admitted fo...
متن کاملPercutaneous Epicardial Pacing using a Novel Insulated Multi-electrode Lead.
INTRODUCTION Epicardial cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) permits unrestricted electrode positioning. However, this requires surgical placement of device leads and the risk of unwanted phrenic nerve stimulation. We hypothesized that shielded electrodes can capture myocardium without extracardiac stimulation. METHODS In 6 dog and 5 swine experiments, we used a percutaneous approach to ac...
متن کاملReiterative ventricular fibrillation caused by R-on-T during temporary epicardial pacing: a case report
Epicardial pacemaker wire insertion is standard following cardiothoracic surgery. However, undersensing of pacing wires may cause the R-on-T phenomenon, which induces ventricular fibrillation. We report a case of a male patient with severe mitral regurgitation scheduled for mitral valve replacement who experienced two ventricular fibrillation episodes related to the R-on-T phenomenon caused by ...
