Impact of Ganglionated Plexus Ablation on Early Recurrence After Thoracoscopic Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Post Hoc Analysis of the AFACT Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Adjunctive ganglionated plexus (GP) ablation did not reduce early AF recurrence after thoracoscopic AF ablation but was associated with a later first recurrence. In the GP‐ablation group, early recurrence was associated with late recurrence; this exploratory finding is compatible with, but does not establish, a greater contribution of pre‐existing ...

Temporal Association Between Intrathoracic Impedance and Tachyarrhythmia Occurrence

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
A decrease in intrathoracic impedance is temporally associated with subsequent AF occurrence and, at the episode level, with a shorter time to VT. These findings suggest that daily intrathoracic impedance may provide information on short‐term changes preceding tachyarrhythmia occurrence.

Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial-Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (MADIT S-ICD): Design and clinical protocol

, 2017
Patients with diabetes mellitus, prior myocardial infarction, older age, and a relatively preserved left ventricular ejection fraction remain at risk for sudden cardiac death that is potentially amenable by the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter ...

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator pocket infection caused by Klebsiella pneumonia [PDF]

, 2013
Like any other foreign bodies, implanted cardiac devices can become infected. Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphilococci are the most common causes of infections of pacemaker and defibrillator systems.

Impact of ICD Presence in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices for End‐Stage Heart Failure

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The prognostic relevance of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in patients with end‐stage heart failure (HF) with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) remains controversial. Objectives To evaluate the prognostic impact of ongoing use of ICD and associated complications in HF‐patients with LVAD‐implantation.

Inappropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks due to temporary epicardial pacing

, 2010
Oversensing of external electrical signals can cause inappropriate therapy in cardiac rhythm management devices. In this report, a patient with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is presented, who received inappropriate shocks due to ...

Transvenous Lead Extraction Versus Abandonment of non‐Infected, Superfluous Leads—A Meta‐Analysis and Systematic Review

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Managing non‐functional cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) leads remains controversial. While extraction is standard for infection, it is unclear whether transvenous lead extraction (TLE) or lead abandonment (LA) provides superior outcomes for superfluous leads.

Inpatient Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy During Heart Failure Hospitalization: A Distinct High‐Risk Phenotype

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The role of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) during hospitalization for heart failure (HFH) is uncertain, because hospitalized patients were routinely excluded from landmark CRT trials. Despite this, CRT implantation during HFH is common.
