Delayed right ventricular lead perforation complicated by tamponade in biventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report highlights the importance of a more cautious approach in a patient with a history of implanted cardiac leads presenting with chest pain or dyspnea, to prevent overlooking cardiac lead perforations especially in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which seems to be not absolutely protective.

Delayed right ventricular defibrillation lead perforation presenting as cardiac tamponade and treated surgically
Right ventricular perforation leading to cardiac tamponade can occur during the chronic phase after cardiac device implantation. Physicians who manage the pacemaker clinic must be alert to the wide range of symptoms and signs that can accompany delayed right ventricular perforation. Surgical rather than percutaneous lead extraction may be prudent.
متن کاملRight ventricular pacing for right ventricular outflow tract obstruction in a man with biventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
A 40-year-old man with known hypertrophic cardiomyopathy presented with syncope after coughing. Physical examination revealed a systolic murmur that was accentuated by the Valsalva maneuver. An electrocardiogram suggested biventricular hypertrophy and biatrial enlargement (Fig. 1). Echocardiograms revealed asymmetric septal hypertrophy with a diastolic septal thickness of 2.3 cm, and evidence o...

To cite: Vasavada A, Vinchurkar M, Agrawal N, et al. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013202665 DESCRIPTION Lead perforation is seen in around 0.1–1% 2 of pacemaker implantation and is predominantly seen early in the course while occurrence after 1 month is much rarer. A 58-year-old patient who had undergone implantation of a single-chambered VVI p...
متن کاملA case of biventricular endomyocardial fibrosis complicated by right ventricular outflow tract aneurysms.
Endomyocardial fibrosis remains a major public health problem worldwide. It is a restrictive cardiomyopathy, of uncertain aetiology, which may lead to right, left or biventricular heart failure. Progress continues to be made in understanding the prevalence and natural history of this disease. Specific treatment, apart from surgery, remains suboptimal. We report a case of advanced, biventricular...
متن کاملDelayed pericardial effusion due to perforation of the right ventricular outflow tract by an ICD lead.
A delayed pericardial effusion developed in a recipient of a cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). After an uneventful implant procedure and postoperative recovery, the patient suffered loss of appetite and fatigue, and was re-admitted to the hospital 48 days later. Her vital signs were stable and cardiac silhouette on chest roentgenogram was normal. However, blood cell counts and chemistry reveale...
