Elective Sternotomy With Fluoroscopic Guidance for the Removal of a Residual Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Lead: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Infectious myocarditis (IM) and infective endocarditis (IE), sometimes associated with infection of the surrounding mediastinal tissue or embolic complications caused by residual implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) lead material embedded in the ventricle, present a significant challenge for cardiac surgeons due to the difficulty of precisely locating the old intracardiac pacing lead remnants because of the heart's continuous movement. We present the case of successful two-stage elective sternotomy extraction of two residual defibrillator leads, one trapped in the left innominate vein, easily removed after veinotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and the other embedded intramyocardially in the inferior wall of the right ventricle, successfully removed under CPB after fluoroscopic guidance. The patient was discharged four weeks post-operation without complications.

Background: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has become an essential component of lead management strategies, but it carries the risk of severe complications, including damage to the tricuspid valve. Currently, there are no established predictors that can help prevent these complications.
Case Summary: An 84-year-old male with a dual-chamber pacemaker was admitted to the hospital due to a pocket fistula resulting from a local infection.

Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) following surgical repair of the mitral valve poses a significant clinical challenge. Patients who have undergone surgery are typically at high risk for a second operation. This report details the case of a 54-year-old male who underwent aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair using a 34-ring, 14 years prior.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Women and Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Objective: To describe the outcome of a case of severe drug-resistant fetal tachyarrhythmia with progressive hydrops treated with fetoscopic transesophageal pacing (FTEP).
Method: A case of fetal tachyarrhythmia complicated by progressive hydrops is presented. The fetus, diagnosed at 26 weeks of gestation, had supraventricular tachycardia with a mechanism suggestive of atrial reentry.
Transesophageal 3-dimensional echocardiographic guidance for pacemaker lead placement improves lead position accuracy and reduces fluoroscopy.

Background: Pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) lead placement traditionally uses fluoroscopy, often with inaccurate lead placement on the free wall rather than on the ventricular septum, with associated longer QRS duration and pacemaker-induced cardiomyopathy while exposing staff and patients to radiation.
Objective: We sought to determine whether transesophageal 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) guidance improves lead placement accuracy in the ventricular septum, results in shorter paced QRS durations, and reduces fluoroscopy exposure.
Methods: In a single-center case-control study, 3DE guided right ventricular or atrial pacemaker and ICD leads to the desired location, with fluoroscopy used per operator preference.
