Superior vena cava syndrome associated with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD): An uncommon complication of an increasingly common procedure: CAR-4. South Med J 2006; 99:1042.Batts TC, Campbell CL, Roman-Gonzalez J. Superior vena cava syndrome associated with implantable cardioverter ...
Transvenous ICD implantation has become a routine procedure at cardiologic centers. If such procedures fail because lead placement in the heart is impossible, anomalies of the venous vascular system should be considered. A persistent left-sided superior vena cava (LPSVC) with transition into the ...
A persistent left-superior vena cava (PLSVC) is an uncommon identification with a form of 0.3% to 0.5% of persons in the common population [1-5]. Nevertheless, it is the most common thoracic venous anomaly [6-10]. Typically, the left superior vena cava fades post embryological developement...
Introduction:The outcomes of superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome in contemporary clinical practice are not well known. We aimed to evaluate in-hospital mortality and unplanned readmission rates in these patients.#Methods:We used the United States Nationwide Readmissions Database from January 2016 to ...
Superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction caused by permanent implantation of leads for pacemakers or defibrillators is not infrequent, having been observed in 35-45% of all cases, and in 20% of cases total occlusion is found 2 years after the intervention [1–3]. Such a high prevalence is ...
Superior Vena Cava SyndromeInternational Classification of DiseasesSuperior vena cava (SVC) obstruction caused by permanent implantation of leads for pacemakers or defibrillators is not infrequent, having been observed in 35-45(percent) of all cases, and in 20(percent) of cases total occlusion is ...
Blocked superior vena cava (SVC) presents a well-recognized problem for the implantation of device leads. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads pose a greater challenge than the pacing leads by requiring an adequate shock vector for successful defibrillation. We present here a novel ...
Successful dual chamber ICD implantation via a persistent left superior vena cava after ratchet syndromeDevice implantations may be challenging in patients with venous abnormalities. The most common congenital variation, frequently associated with other congenital abnormalities, is a persistent left superior ...
Single-coil ICDPersistent left superior vena cavaIn this report a transvenous cardioverter defibrillator implantation is described in two patients with a persistent left-sided superior vena cava and right SVC atresia. In the first case, manoeuvring of the guide wire inserted through the left ...
