Displacement of pacemaker leads--a 10-year survey.

Abstract: Displacement of endocardial pacemaker leads from the initial site at the time of implantation is a major cause of unpredictable pacemaker failure. In this survey, we have made a retrospective study of the effectiveness of the attempts made by two manufacturers to design leads to reduce the frequency of this occurrence. The cumulative displacement records of 5 types of leads (Medtronic types 5818, 6904, 6901, and 6950, and Cardiac Pacemakers Inc. type 4210) have been studied, and show that Medtronic 5818 and 69… Show more

“…The transvenous approach therefore rapidly supplanted the epicardial technique because it was faster and oould be done under local anesthetic with less risk to the patient. Although the perioperative morbidity of transvenous paoing was low, the long-term complication rate i.n early reports and in a recent review was high becau~ of lead clisplaeerrtent (Brewster and Evans, 1979;Maflsour etal., 1973;Morris et 01., 1967;Seremetis et 01., 1973) perfonHion ofihe ventricle, axillary vein thromlblis (Mansptir el 01., 1973;Seremetis et 01., 1973), puJmonary emboli (Ptozan et 01., 1968), and bacterial endocarditis (Schwartz and Pervez, 1921). Of these, lead displacement was by far the most Gommon complication requiring reoperation.…”
