Percutaneous treatment for pacemaker-associated superior vena cava syndrome.
Superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction is an uncommon but serious complication associated with permanent pacemaker implantation. The mechanical stress associated with pacemaker wires may lead to vessel wall inflammation, fibrosis, and thrombus formation, and ultimately to venous stenosis and occlusion. The surgical treatment of pacemaker related SVC syndrome requires thoracotomy and carries signi...
متن کاملSurgical management of superior vena cava syndrome following pacemaker lead infection: a case report and review of the literature
Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is a known but rare complication of pacemaker lead implantation, accounting for approximately less than 0.5% of cases. Its pathophysiology is due to either infection or endothelial mechanical stress, causing inflammation and fibrosis leading to thrombosis, and therefore stenosis of the SVC. Due to the various risks including thrombo-embolic complications and th...

This is a case-report of two patients with superior vena cava syndrome related to pacemaker leads. Both patients were treated successfully using intravenous stenting.
متن کاملInitial experience in the extraction of chronically implanted pacemaker leads using the Excimer laser sheath.
OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and efficiency of the Excimer laser sheath in extracting chronically implanted pacemaker leads. PATIENTS Eight patients were studied (one female, mean age 62 years, range 34 to 77) with 17 pacemaker leads (five atrial, 10 ventricular, two implantable defibrillator). The mean implantation time was 65 months (range 23 to 188). The indications for lead extraction w...
متن کاملSuccessful management of multiple permanent pacemaker complications – infection, 13 year old silent lead perforation and exteriorisation following failed percutaneous extraction, superior vena cava obstruction, tricuspid valve endocarditis, pulmonary embolism and prosthetic tricuspid valve thrombosis
A 59 year old man underwent mechanical tricuspid valve replacement and removal of pacemaker generator along with 4 pacemaker leads for pacemaker endocarditis and superior vena cava obstruction after an earlier percutaneous extraction had to be abandoned, 13 years ago, due to cardiac arrest, accompanied by silent, unsuspected right atrial perforation and exteriorisation of lead. Postoperative co...
