Management of Transvenous Leads in Patients With Iatrogenic Lead Perforation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Iatrogenic lead perforation is a rare but serious complication of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation. Evidence on percutaneous management of subacute or delayed cases remains limited. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 38 patients treated for iatrogenic lead perforation between January 2012 and October 2024.

Pericardiocentesis practice in the United Kingdom [PDF]
Pericardial effusions frequently present challenging clinical dilemmas. Whether or not to drain an effusion, and if so by what method, are two common decisions facing cardiologists. We performed a survey to evaluate pericardiocentesis practice in the United Kingdom (UK).A total of 640 questionnaires were sent to all cardiologists in the UK Directory of

Etiology and Long‐Term Outcome of Patients Undergoing Pericardiocentesis [PDF]
BackgroundPericardial effusions can be caused by a variety of disorders. The frequency of the underlying diseases varies with patient population; therefore, previously reported series are not necessarily representative of other populations.

Retrospective Study Evaluating Outcomes Following Palliative Radiotherapy With or Without Chemotherapy for Dogs With Presumed Cardiac Hemangiosarcoma. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Canine cardiac hemangiosarcoma (cHSA) represents a complex clinical challenge in that those afflicted have an acute risk of death due to cardiac tamponade and high morbidity and mortality given the frequency of metastasis. Previous studies show that radiation therapy (RT) can decrease the risk of tamponade; however, an optimal approach has yet
