Long-term clinical outcomes of catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation predisposing to tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome: a long pause predicts implantation of a permanent pacemaker

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2018
BackgroundThere is a controversy as to whether catheter ablation should be the first-line therapy for tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome (TBS) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).MethodsWe aimed to investigate long-term clinical outcomes of catheter ...

Pacemaker implantation following tricuspid valve annuloplastyCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open, 2023
Objective: Tricuspid annuloplasty is associated with increased risk of atrioventricular block and subsequent implantation of a permanent pacemaker. However, the exact incidence of permanent pacemaker, associated risk factors, and outcomes in this frame ...

The effects of pacing mode on development of chronic AF in patients undergoing pacemaker implantation due to AV block : A retrospective study

Medicine Science, 2022
Permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia among elderly patients. Permanent AF may cause thromboembolic events, heart failure, poor quality of life and recurrent hospitalizations.

Incidence of carditis and predictors of pacemaker implantation in patients hospitalized with Lyme disease

PLoS ONE, 2021
Background Lyme carditis, defined as direct infection of cardiac tissue by Borrelia bacteria, affects up to 10% of patients with Lyme disease. The most frequently reported clinical manifestation of Lyme carditis is cardiac conduction system disease.

Transhepatic venous approach to permanent pacemaker implantation in a patient with no conventional access site

MGM Journal of Medical Sciences, 2020
Permanent pacemakers are generally done through subclavian venous access. We present a case of transhepatic venous approach to a permanent pacemaker in a patient who had bilateral obstructed subclavian vein and superior vena cava (SVC) secondary to ...

Incidence and Severity of Tricuspid Regurgitation after Permanent Pacemaker: Single-Center Cohort in the Philippines

Journal of Clinical and Preventive Cardiology, 2020
Background: Tricuspid regurgitation related to permanent pacemaker (PPM) lead can occur in 25-29% of patients compared to individuals who did not undergo such procedure, with symptoms of right heart failure developing from six months to ten years after ...

Permanent pacemaker implantation after On-X surgical aortic valve replacement: SWEDEHEART observational study

BMJ Open, 2021
Objective Bioprosthetic aortic valves with an extended subannular component, such as transcatheter valves, exert increased compression on the cardiac conduction system and increase the risk for permanent pacemaker implantation.

Short term clinical outcomes and analysis of risk factors for pacemaker implantation: a single center experience of self-expandable TAVI valves

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Objectives Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a recognized treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis at all risk groups. However, permanent pacemaker rates remain high for self expandable transcatheter valves and permanent pacemaker ...
