Ischaemic stroke can result from delayed septal perforation in patients with pacemakers, indicating a serious complication.
Key evidence shows that early imaging is essential in evaluating progressive pacemaker threshold increases.
Observational analysis highlights the need for careful evaluation of thromboembolic risk associated with lead perforation.
Risk assessments support timely interventions to prevent complications following device implantation, emphasizing the importance of imaging.
Abstract
In patients with progressive pacemaker threshold increase, early imaging is key. Lead septal perforation requires careful evaluation given potential associated complications, including thromboembolic risk.
