Meta‐Analysis of Pacemaker Lead Perforation Introduction Two leadless pacemaker (PM)
systems were recently developed to avoid pocket‐and lead‐related complications. As …

Impedance is the ratio of voltage to current in an electrical circuit. Cardiovascular
implantable electronic devices measure impedance to assess the structural integrity …

Background Cardiac perforation of the right ventricle (RV) is a rare but potentially life‐
threatening complication of both pacemaker (PM) and implantable cardioverter defibrillator …

Aims Cardiac perforations caused by pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
(ICD) leads are uncommon but potentially fatal events. The optimal approach to such cases …

Aims To determine the incidence, clinical features, management, and outcomes of
pacemaker (PM) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead cardiac perforation …

Background Pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator lead extraction may be
required because of infection, malfunction, or breakage. The preprocedural identification of …

Aims To analyse histological findings surrounding the electrodes in pacemaker/implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator (PM/ICD) patients. To compare histology around steroid-eluting and …

OBJECTIVE. Five percent of cardiac implantable electric devices (CIEDs) are removed each
year. Percutaneous extraction is preferred but can be complicated if the leads adhere to the …

Percutaneous Lead Revision for Cardiac Perforation Introduction Cardiac perforation is an
infrequent but potentially life‐threatening complication associated with placement of a …

Objectives Cardiac lead perforation is a rare but potentially life-threatening event. The
purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performances of chest radiography …
