pacemaker (PM)A pacemaker (PM) (or artificial PM, so as not to be confused with the heart's natural PM) is a medical device that uses electrical impulses, delivered by electrodes contracting the heart muscles, to regulate the beating of the heart. The primary purpose of this device is ...

We describe a case of Horner syndrome following insertion of a chest tube in a 27 year old male. The syndrome was discovered the day after insertion of the tube and persisted for at least three months. By the time of a control examination six months after insertion the symptoms had ...
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an intraocular lens insertion device that inserts an intraocular lens into an aphakic eye after a cataract operation, or, to an intraocular lens insertion device that inserts a phakic intraocular lens during a refractive surgery. DESCRIPTION OF...
The primary outcome was the incidence of permanent pacemaker insertion. The data were analyzed using univariate then binary multivariate regression analysis. Result Four hundred sixty nine patients had mitral valve surgery. The mean age was 66.5 ± 12.3 years and 47.5% were female. One hundred ...
The effectiveness of pacemaker insertion (PI) in management of the bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome (BTS)Pre- and postoperative electrocardiograms were evaluated in 44 patients with angina pectoris who underwent single or multiple coronary artery bypass procedures. Two groups were identified: Group A, 37...
temporary transvenous pacemakerTemporary pacemakers are used in a variety of critical care settings. These life-saving devices are reviewed in 2 major categories in this review: first, the insertion and management of epicardial pacemakers after and during cardiac surgery; and second, the insertion of...
Permanent pacemaker (PPM) requirement is well recognised post Transcatheter Aortic Valve implantation (TAVI) for aortic stenosis. Early reports using the CoreValve TAVI system demonstrated marked variability in PPM rates (16鈥 40%) compared to surgery (up to 8%). PPM requirement post CoreValve TAVI...
Following admission she remained haemodynamically stable with no prolonged pauses; she was therefore listed for pacemaker implantation the next morning.rnInitial attempts at venous access were right-sided due to recent left shoulder surgery. A venogram revealed good calibre venous anatomy. Several ...
Introduction The use of rapid deployment sutureless aortic valve replacement (AVR) has become a viable alternative to conventional AVR especially in intermediate and high-risk patients. However, sutureless AVR has been associated with increased rates of permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation compared with...
