Laser lead extraction is a well-established method for removing unwanted leads with low morbidity and mortality. In this small series of cases, we documented our experience with venous thrombosis after laser lead extraction.
Retrospective data of patients who underwent laser lead extraction with postoperative axillo-subclavian vein thrombosis between May 2010 and January 2020 were analyzed. Demographic, operative, clinical, and follow-up characteristics of those patients were collected from our medical database.
Six patients underwent percutaneous laser lead extraction. Mean age of the patients was 64±7 years. And four of them were male. A total of 11 leads with a mean age of 92±43.8 months were extracted. Patients presented with painful arm swelling postoperatively.
Laser lead extraction may lead to symptomatic upper extremity deep venous occlusion.
激光导线提取术是一种成熟的方法，可用于去除不需要的导线，其发病率和死亡率均较低。在本系列小病例中，我们记录了激光导线提取术后发生静脉血栓形成的经验。
回顾性分析 2010 年 5 月至 2020 年 1 月期间接受激光导线提取术且术后出现腋-锁骨下静脉血栓形成的患者数据。从我们的医疗数据库中收集这些患者的人口统计学、手术、临床和随访特征。
6 名患者接受了经皮激光导线提取术。患者的平均年龄为 64±7 岁，其中 4 名为男性。总共提取了 11 根导线，平均年龄为 92±43.8 个月。术后患者出现手臂肿胀伴疼痛。
激光导线提取术可能导致症状性上肢深静脉闭塞。
