Article Synopsis
- * Analyzed outcomes between patients who received imaging and those who did not, finding no significant differences in complications, recurrence of atrial fibrillation, or re-hospitalization rates after one year.
- * Despite longer procedure times for those who underwent imaging (90 minutes vs. 74.5 minutes), the study concludes that pre-procedural imaging does not impact the safety or efficacy of PVI in managing atrial fibrillation.
Background: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are increasingly being used; thus, there is an increasing need for transvenous lead extraction (TLE).
Objectives: To summarize our experience with TLE at single referral center in northern Israel.
Methods: The study included all patients who underwent TLE at our center between 2019 and 2022, regardless of the indication.
Extra-cardiac stimulation after cardiac pacemaker implantation is seldom seen in the cardiac field. However, this case report demonstrates an unusual symptom of persistent abdominal twitching in a 42-year-old male patient who underwent pacemaker replacement, lasting for 15 years. Initially, it was attributed to diaphragmatic pacing by the new pacemaker.

These devices record and store electrocardiograms, both automatically and on patient-dependent activation. Therefore, obtaining optimal diagnostic results relies on a patient's comprehension and collaboration.
