Placement Of A Coronary Sinus Pacing Lead From A Sub-occluded Left Subclavian Vein Using A Collateral Vein To The Right Subclavian Vein
نویسندگان
چکیده
Upgrading of a pacing system in the presence of a subclavian occlusion is technically challenging. We describe the case of a patient who underwent a successful upgrading procedure of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) to a biventricular defibrillator (ICD-CRT) in the presence of a suboccluded left subclavian vein, using a collateral vein that drained into the contralateral subclavian vein.

Pacemaker Placement in Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a rare disorder which is asymptomatic and hence is usually discovered while performing interventions through the left subclavian vein. We present a case of a 78-year-old male who was undergoing elective placement of a permanent pacemaker for tachycardia - bradycardia syndrome with post-conversion pauses of up to nine seconds. After achieving access ...
متن کاملTargeted left ventricular endocardial pacing using a steerable introducing guide catheter and active fixation pacing lead.
AIMS Cardiac resynchronization therapy via the coronary sinus (CS) is not always possible. Left ventricular (LV) endocardial lead placement is a potential alternative. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of endocardial LV pacing using a steerable lead introducer and active fixation polyurethane lead. METHODS AND RESULTS Endocardial LV lead placement was attempted in nine p...

Background: Contrast-guided axillary vein puncture has gained popularity for pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation in adults owing to its low risk profile, and could be an alternative to subclavian vein puncture, which is commonly performed in children. The Medtronic 3830 lead is a 4.1F lumenless catheter-delivered lead which may be particularly well-suited for...

Complications related to coronary sinus lead are not infrequent in recipients of cardiac resynchronization devices. We describe the case of a patient with a biventricular implantable cardioverter defibrillator with persistent phrenic nerve stimulation, previous coronary sinus lead fracture, and severe left subclavian vein stenosis. The reimplantation of a new coronary sinus lead on the left sid...

A 78-year-old male patient underwent implantation of cardiac resynchronization devise with defibrillator (CRT-D) for dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive cardiac failure. Patient received a Guidant CRT-ICD. RV lead during implantation, subclavian access was obtained by venogram assisted extra thoracic puncture of the subclavian vein. Right atrial (RA) lead was initially attempted in the right ...
