Acute performance evaluation of a new ventricular automatic capture algorithm
2006
Aims This study evaluated the acute clinical performance of a new ventricular automatic capture algorithm developed to work with all lead types and pacing vectors. Methods and results During regular pacemaker implant or replacement, AutoThreshold and manual threshold tests were performed in ventricular unipolar (UP) and bipolar (BP, if applicable) pacing using a customized external prototype INSIGNIA™ pacemaker. The success rate and accuracy of two different modes (commanded and ambulatory) of the automatic capture algorithm were used to evaluate the performance. Loss-of-capture events (two consecutive non-captured beats without backup pacing) were used to assess safety. Data of 53 patients…
Marshall's vein persistence: A rare and occasional finding during pacemaker implantation
2012
In adults the oblique vein of Marshall is usually absent or very thin, and it is hard to be found. In this case report we describe a case of persistence observed during pacemaker implantation.
Impact of early (<7 days) pacemaker implantation after cardiac surgery on long‐term pacemaker dependency
2021
We aimed to investigate pacemaker dependency after at least 1 year in patients with early (7 days) implantation, compared to those who received a pacemaker ≥7 days after cardiac surgery. Secondary endpoints were length of hospital stay and in-hospital complications.Retrospective analysis of 108 consecutive patients who received a pacemaker after cardiac surgery between 06/2012 and 06/2018. Characteristics and outcomes were compared between patients with early (7 days) and late (≥7 days) implantation. Patients were followed up with evaluation of pacemaker dependency between April and June 2019. We identified predictors of dependency by logistic regression.In total, 63.9% were men, average ag…
Leadless pacemaker implant in patients requiring CIED extraction: outcomes based upon timing of extraction
2021
Abstract Background Previous results from global Micra Transcatheter Pacemaker clinical trials have demonstrated leadless pacing as a safe and attractive option for patients with prior cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection and extraction. Whether outcomes differ based upon the timing of prior device extraction has not been studied. Purpose To describe characteristics and outcomes of patients undergoing CIED extraction during or prior to Micra implantation. Methods Patients who underwent CIED explant and Micra implantation were identified from the Micra Post-Approval Registry and Micra Acute Performance studies. Baseline characteristics were summarized. A Fine-Gray competing…
