Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Although the majority of temporary epicardial leads used during cardiac surgery are removed in the perioperative period, occasionally, the wires are cut and allowed to retract into the subcutaneous tissue. Complications arising from such retained epicardial wires are rare. We present a case of transmyocardial migration of a retained epicardial wire through the right ventricular myocardium into the pulmonary artery in a patient who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery 13 years ago. We describe the presentation and successful management of this case.(PACE 2011; 1-2). |
