Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
During implantation and during 38-month follow-up of 1060 consecutive patients who had implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, complications occurred in 60 (5.7%) of 1060 patients. These complications consisted of fractured leads requiring lead revision in 36 (3.4%) patients, lead infection requiring antibiotics in 5 (0.5%) patients, device replacement because of malfunction in 5 (0.5%) patients, repositioning of leads in 3 (0.3%) patients, a hematoma at the time of implantation in 3 (0.3%) patients, pneumothorax at the time of implantation in 2 (0.2%) patients, repair of a defective generator in 1 (0.1%) patient, replacement of the device because of atrophy of the skin over the device in 1 (0.1%) patient, a transient ischemic attack because of atrial fibrillation developing during implantation in 1 (0.1%) patient, device replacement because of a recall from Guidant in 1 (0.1%) patient, pocket revision because of pain when lying on the side of the pacemaker in 1 (0.1%) patient, and pacemaker infection in 1 (0.1%) patient. |
