“…Current literature describes other cases of anatomical variants which necessitated unusual placement of the wires. For example, entering the left ventricle because of dextro transposition of the great arteries after a Senning/Mustard repair or having to pace the right atrium/ventricle from a persistent left sided superior vena cava and the coronary sinus [5]. There were no other similar case reports or research data describing a patient with an elevated left hemidiaphragm leading to a challenging PPM implantation.…”

“…If these complications are not treated in a timely manner, the treatment efficacy and prognosis of PPI in patients might be affected, along with the progression of the disease. Therefore, PPI complications have become a focus of research among cardiovascular physicians (12,13). Relevant data have previously shown that the postoperative complication rate of patients with PPI is approximately 8.2-17.4%.…”

Background: Permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) is widely used for the treatment of chronic arrhythmia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence of postoperative complications and the risk factors in patients with PPI. Methods: The clinical data of 124 patients who underwent PPI in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2018 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Data on sex, age, status of disease, and related complications of all patients were recorded, and differences were compared. The factors affecting postoperative complications in patients with PPI were analyzed. Results: The incidence of postoperative complications in 124 patients with PPI was 8.06% (10/124), including 4 cases with capsular hematoma (3.23%), 2 cases with capsular rupture (1.61%), 3 cases with capsular infection (2.42%) and 1 case with venous thrombosis (0.81%). Unconditional single-factor logistic regression model showed that the incidence of postoperative complications in patients with PPI was significantly greater with older age, high body mass index (BMI), smoking history, poor nutritional status, and decreased platelet counts (P<0.05). Results of the unconditional multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that older age, high BMI, smoking history, poor nutritional status, and decreased platelet counts were all independent risk factors of postoperative complications in patients with PPI (P<0.05). Conclusions: The incidence of postoperative complications in patients with PPI was low, and the complications were mainly related to capsular bag. Factors, such as older age, high BMI, smoking history, poor nutritional status, and decreased platelet counts, were independent risk factors resulting in postoperative complications in patients with PPI.

Heart failure is considered a worldwide pandemic affecting 26 million people globally. Patients who are unfit or waiting for cardiac transplantation may benefit from alternate mechanical support therapies using ventricular assist devices. It is not uncommon for radiologists, especially those working in institutions with a high volume of cardiac transplantations, to be presented with radiographs containing these devices. The role of the radiologist is not only to accurately identify these devices, but also to evaluate for any complications.
