Successful Percutaneous Intervention for Chronic Total Occlusion of Left Subclavian Artery-Juniper Publishers

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Abstract Introduction: Subclavian artery stenosis is most commonly caused by atherosclerotic disease. Surgical treatment is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Intervention is generally reserved for the management of symptomatic patients who present with upper limb ischemia, Vertebrobasilar symptoms and subclavian steal syndrome. Endovascular stenting is preferred over surgery because of high success rate, less invasive and minimal complications. Case report: Here we report a case of 56 year old female patient with history of hypertension and diabetes presented with dizziness, vertigo and left arm claudication with use of her left upper extremity since last six months. She was diagnosed as a case of subclavian steal syndrome. Treatment: Patient underwent successful Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) of the left subclavian artery with marked improvement of s...

Transcatheter Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in a Patient with Recurrent Complications Following Transvenous Pacemaker Systems-Juniper Publishers

Image
JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY   Abstract A 79-year-old man had a DDD permanent pacemaker inserted in September 2007 for symptomatic third-degree atrioventricular block. Over the following several years, he underwent repeated battery removal and reinsertion in a different site, due to recurrent subcutaneous pocket complications (mostly pocket infection), after transvenous pacemakers implanted in pectoral and abdominal (epicardial lead) pockets. Ultimately, he presented with failure of capture from an epicardial pacing lead. A leadless transcatheter pacemaker was implanted, via femoral vein access. Post-procedural electrical measurements revealed a pacing threshold of 0.38V at 0.24msec, and R wave sensitivity 15mV; they were stable at 1-month follow-up. Keywords: Atrioventricular block; Leadless pacemaker Case Report A 79-year-old man had a DDD permanent pacemaker inserted (left subc...
