Article Synopsis
- Angina pectoris (AP) is a symptom characterized by discomfort in the body, typically related to coronary artery disease; this study aims to explore how AP relates to coronary artery interventions.
- The study involved 128 patients and found that a substantial percentage reported no angina symptoms after procedures on the right coronary artery (RCA), left anterior descending (LAD), and circumflex (Cx) arteries, with unique symptom patterns associated with each artery.
- Results indicated that pressure-heaviness was common during LAD and Cx procedures, while burning sensations were more prevalent in RCA; however, the severity of angina was similar across all coronary arteries.
Background: Extraction of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads could be a difficult procedure due to fibrous tissue around the lead and anatomical variations. In this report, we present our experience in the radiographic predictors of failure of simple manual traction (SMT) in patients with dual-coil ICD requiring lead extraction (LE).
Methods: Between January 2017 and February 2021, 103 leads were removed in 65 consecutive patients; 65 (63.
