Percutaneous treatment of the superior vena cava syndrome via an excimer laser sheath in a patient with a single chamber atrial pacemaker.
Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology : An International Journal of Arrhythmias and Pacing 2006 September
A 21-year-old woman presented with a pacemaker-associated superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome refractory to medical therapy. In the past, treatment of this condition has involved surgical exploration which is invasive. With the evolution of percutaneous techniques, treatment has included venoplasty and stenting over the pacemaker lead. There is limited experience with a more advanced percutaneous technique in which the lead is extracted by an excimer laser sheath. The extraction is immediately followed by venoplasty and stenting at the site of stenosis with subsequent implantation of a new permanent pacemaker at the previously occluded access site. The patient underwent this procedure which proved to be safe, minimally invasive, and an efficient method of treating SVC syndrome secondary to a single chamber atrial pacemaker.
