“…Additionally, differentiating between ICD and pacemakers on chest x-ray is imperative to ensure adequate anesthesiology pre-operative prep. To distinguish a pacemaker vs. ICD on chest x-ray, Pacemakers have small leads (Figure 6a), where ICD's have thick coiled segments at the end of their leads (Figure 6b) [37].…”

Cardiac electrophysiology is a unique and growing field that has made numerous advances in the past 15 years. Specifically, the field is advancing in terms of types of procedures as well as scope of practice. Pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and ablations have been the cornerstone of the field and continue to treat more and more conditions. This chapter will convey a birds-eye view of the types of the procedures in electrophysiology, the indications/contraindications, and the advances in the past 15 years. Additionally, local vs. general anesthesia in these procedures as well as the indication for the type of anesthesia will be discussed. The overall aim of this chapter is to present a unique viewpoint of cardiac electrophysiology as well as elaborate on the various types of anesthesia in this field.

“…Every ICD lead also has built-in pacemaker functionality, even if pacing was not indicated. Diff erent companies and models have distinct shapes on an x-ray (2,3). If the device cannot be identifi ed radiologically, diff erent company devices can be applied to identify the device make and model, as a last resort.…”

“…Chest radiographs are the initial modality to evaluate the device location and its integrity after implantation and for diagnosis of complications and malfunction. [ 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Antibacterial properties of gold were also desired as a potential lowering of implant failure in the early stages after operation time due to the reluctance of bacteria to settle on the surface [ 28 ].…”

Laser Superficial Fusion of Gold Nanoparticles with PEEK Polymer for Cardiovascular Application

This paper analyses the possibility of obtaining surface-infused nano gold particles with the polyether ether ketone (PEEK) using picosecond laser treatment. To fuse particles into polymer, the raw surface of PEEK was sputtered with 99.99% Au and micromachined by an A-355 laser device for gold particle size reduction. Biomimetic pattern and parameters optimization were key properties of the design for biomedical application. The structures were investigated by employing surface topography in the presence of micron and sub-micron features. The energy of the laser beam stating the presence of polymer bond thermalisation with remelting due to high temperature was also taken into the account. The process was suited to avoid intensive surface modification that could compromise the mechanical properties of fragile cardiovascular devices. The initial material analysis was conducted by power–depth dependence using confocal microscopy. The evaluation of gold particle size reduction was performed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (secondary electron (SE) and quadrant backscatter electron detector (QBSD) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. The visibility of the constituted coating was checked by a commercial grade X-ray that is commonly used in hospitals. Attempts to reduce deposited gold coating to the size of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) and to fuse them into the groove using a laser beam have been successfully completed. The relationship between the laser power and the characteristics of the particles remaining in the laser irradiation area has been established. A significant increase in quantity was achieved using laser power with a minimum power of 15 mW. The obtained results allowed for the continuation of the pilot study for augmented research and material properties analysis.
