Dislodgement of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) leads following implantation ideally should not be missed. However, more often than not, patients do not undergo post-operative imaging following these procedures due to a lack of evidence behind the role of imaging following uncomplicated pacemaker (PPM) implantation procedures, based on the most recent guidelines This is a case report of a dual-chamber pacemaker (DC-PPM) right ventricular (RV) lead that was found dislodged and coiled in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) as an incidental finding via a routine transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) study two years after implantation. We intend to shed light on the significance of timely detection of lead-related complications, as they can result in poor outcomes for patients.
心脏植入式电子设备(CIED)导线在植入后发生移位,理想情况下不应被漏诊。然而,通常情况下,由于根据最新指南,在无并发症的起搏器(PPM)植入术后进行成像检查的作用缺乏证据,患者在这些手术后并未接受术后成像检查。这是一例双腔起搏器(DC-PPM)右心室(RV)导线移位并盘绕在右心室流出道(RVOT)的病例报告,该情况是在植入两年后通过常规经胸超声心动图(TTE)检查偶然发现的。我们旨在阐明及时检测导线相关并发症的重要性,因为它们可能导致患者预后不良。
