Twenty-Seven Years Experience With Transvenous Pacemaker Implantation in Children Weighing <10 kg.
BACKGROUND Epicardial pacemaker implantation is the favored approach in children weighing <10 kg in many units. The high incidence of premature failure and fractures with earlier epicardial leads led our unit to undertake transvenous pacemaker implantation in neonates and infants from 1987. To date there have been no long-term follow-up reports of what is for many a controversial strategy. ME...
متن کاملMassive arm edema following arteriovenous dialysis shunt creation in a patient with ipsilateral permanent pacemaker.
Asymptomatic subclavian vein occlusion following insertion of a permanent pacemaker (PPM) or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is not uncommon. We report a case of a dual-chamber PPM in a patient with an unrecognized left subclavian vein occlusion who developed massive left arm edema following ipsilateral implantation of an arteriovenous (AV) hemodialysis graft. We recommend that pat...
متن کاملIncidence of venous obstruction following insertion of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. A study of systematic contrast venography on patients presenting for their first elective ICD generator replacement.
AIMS The number of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantations, as well as follow-up procedures such as generator exchanges, lead revisions and lead system upgrades, is ever-increasing. Lead revisions and implantation of additional leads require venous access at the site of the previous ICD implantation. The aim of our study was therefore to evaluate the incidence of venous obstr...
متن کاملVenous Stenosis After Transvenous Lead Placement: A Study of Outcomes and Risk Factors in 212 Consecutive Patients
BACKGROUND Venous stenosis is a common complication of transvenous lead implantation, but the risk factors for venous stenosis have not been well defined to date. This study was designed to evaluate the incidence of and risk factors for venous stenosis in a large consecutive cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 212 consecutive patients (136 male, 76 female; mean age 69 years) with existing ...
متن کاملA safe and effective method for pacemaker implantation in children Axillary vein puncture for device implantation and use of 4F catheter- delivered pacing leads in children
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...
