Extraction of Transvenous Pacing and ICD Leads

Abstract: The emergence of pacing and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) systems, along with expanding indications of these devices (e.g., cardiac resynchronization therapy and sudden cardiac death prevention), increasing infection rates, and device recalls have created the need for removing and upgrading these systems due to various reasons. Removing the pulse generator of a system is generally uncomplicated. Chronically implanted transvenous leads, however, adhere to the venous endothelium and endocardial ti… Show more

“…Furthermore, this study is the first to demonstrate an association between calcific changes in the pocket and TLE difficulty. An association between younger age and calcified scar tissue has been described previously 15 but we did not observe a similar association (age at implant: 50 ± 11 versus 55 ± 17 years, p ¼ NS; age at TLE: 59±11 versus 61±16 years, p ¼ NS). Predictors of TLE difficulty have been evaluated in several prior single and multicenter studies.…”

“…Innerhalb von 4-5 Tagen nach der Implantation kommt es zu einer fast kompletten Umhüllung der Sonde mit einer Fibrinscheide. Im weiteren Verlauf kommt es dann zur Ausbildung von fibro- [5,7]. Einen Prädiktor, wie sehr eine Sonde bei einem individuellen Patienten eingewachsen ist, gibt es nicht.…”

“…Hingegen ist eine «partielle Entfernung» ein Eingriff, bei dem ein Fragment, das kleiner als 2 cm ist (in der Regel die Sondenspitze) in situ verbleibt. Alle anderen Ergebnisse sind als «frustrane Extraktion» zu bezeichnen [5].…”
