May offer sutureless repair option in fragile ventricular walls; leaves open generalizability beyond single case.
Case Report (n=1)
Hemostatic patches offer a viable, sutureless alternative for repairing ventricular perforations caused by pacemaker leads in patients with fragile ventricular walls.
Prestipino et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Ventricular perforation by pacemaker lead (n=1). Surgical extraction and repair with a sealing hemostatic device and hemostatic patch was evaluated on Procedural success. Surgical extraction of a perforated pacemaker lead and repair using a sealing hemostatic device and patch was successfully performed in a 92-year-old man with a fragile ventricular wall.
