AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Six requirements were defined that would characterize a safe and effective technique of transvenous inferior vena cava (IVC) interruption: (1) the instrument should be placed transjugularly under local anesthesia; (2) the instrument should have "built-in" capability for venography; (3) the technique should produce complete occlusion of the IVC; (4) the occluder must adapt to any variable in IVC diameter; (5) the intracaval device must have no sharp edges, pins, or points; and (6) the technique must permit simultaneous heparin therapy. These specifications were met by a catheter-delivered detachable balloon that could be inflated to any needed diameter. This technique was used in 96 patients, with a follow-up period to ten years. Time and experience confirm the validity of the six requirements for a safe and effective technique.

Background: Delayed lead perforation is a rare complication of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED). Clinical presentations range from completely asymptomatic to pericardial tamponade. Surgical lead extraction is recommended and transvenous lead extraction (TLE) with surgical backup is an alternative method.

Background: Cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (CSDAVF) is an abnormal arteriovenous connection involving the dura mater within or adjacent to the wall of the cavernous sinus. While cases with superior ophthalmic vein drainage and ocular symptoms are typical, we report a rare case of CSDAVF draining into the perimedullary vein of the medulla oblongata and spinal cord and causing cerebellar ataxia and myelopathy as the initial presentation.

An 85-year-old woman presented with bacteremia complicated by infective endocarditis with vegetations on the prosthetic mitral valve and right ventricular (RV) lead. The patient had a single-chamber permanent pacemaker with two RV leads, one of which was previously trapped or "jailed" after a bioprosthetic tricuspid valve replacement. Complete transvenous lead extraction including the chronically retained jailed RV lead was achieved via laser extraction assisted by concomitant traction from a superior left subclavian and inferior right femoral venous approach.

The inferior vena cava (IVC) is a critical structure for venous return to the heart, and congenital anomalies of the IVC, though rare, can have significant clinical implications during procedures like catheter ablation for arrhythmias. In this case, a 26-year-old male presented with left-sided chest pressure after a routine exercise. Electrocardiography (ECG) revealed a delta wave and shortened PR interval, consistent with Wolf-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, which involves an accessory electrical pathway leading to supraventricular tachycardia.
