Event Description
|
This was a left-sided lead extraction to remove two non-functional rv leads (mdt 6949 capped rv lead and mdt 6944 active rv lead).Two other active leads were not planned for extraction in this case (mdt 5076 ra lead and mdt 4194 lv lead).Each of the leads was prepped with an lld-ez and 14f and 16f glidelight laser sheaths were used to extract.The mdt 6949 rv lead was extracted successfully.During extraction of the mdt 6944 passive rv lead, a perforation was noted on tee.Ct surgeon was called and initiated pericardiocentesis followed by sternotomy.The patient was stable throughout the procedure.An injury to the rv apex was found and repaired.The injury occurred as the lead pulled free from the myocardium.As the lld was the traction platform used to pull the lead free, it is the device that contributed to the injury.A new rv lead was implanted post-repair and the patient was doing well.
