A modified surgical approach using a transcutaneously placed permanent bipolar pacing lead connected to a VVI-pacemaker enables prolonged temporary pacing in patients with infected devices.
Does a modified surgical approach using a permanent bipolar pacing lead connected to an externalized VVI-pacemaker provide effective temporary pacing in pacemaker-dependent patients with device infection?
A modified surgical technique using a permanent bipolar pacing lead connected to an externalized VVI-pacemaker allows for prolonged temporary pacing in pacemaker-dependent patients undergoing infected device extraction.
A modified surgical concept for temporary cardiac pacing in pacemaker dependent patients requiring total removal of infected devices is presented. Proximal to the infected pocket a permanent bipolar pacing lead is placed transcutaneously into the ipsilateral subclavian or jugular vein. The lead is placed in the right ventricle and fixed into the skin using the suture sleeve. Pacing is established by connecting an external pacing generator. Subsequently the infected device can be removed completely. After wound dressing the externalized lead is connected to a permanent VVI-pacemaker allowing for prolonged temporary pacing.
JULIANRASTAN et al. (Mon,) conducted a other in Pacemaker dependent patients with device infection. Modified surgical concept for temporary cardiac pacing was evaluated. A modified surgical approach using a transcutaneously placed permanent bipolar pacing lead connected to a VVI-pacemaker enables prolonged temporary pacing in patients with infected devices.
