Successful implantation of leadless pacemaker in patient with the Gunther Tulip inferior vena cava filter.

ABSTRACT: Leadless pacemakers have many advantages for some patients in preventing lead- and pocket-related complications. The traveling of the femoral vein is important in the context of normal approach site choice for leadless pacemakers. In this case, the leadless pacemaker could be successfully implanted without disrupting the inferior vena cava filter by using intravascular ultrasound in a hemodialysis patient with complete atrioventricular block and atrial fibrillation who had obstruction of the bilateral subclavian and right femoral veins, and travel abnormality of the left common iliac vein. <Learning objective: The leadless pacemaker is a useful option in patients with complex vascular complications and hemodialysis. However, there are several listed contraindications such as the presence of inferior vena cava (IVC) filter that was excluded in the large-scale trials to leadless pacemakers. Intravascular ultrasound is a useful tool to place the leadless pacemaker without disrupting IVC filter to maintain its filtering capability.>.

Project description:Background: Previous observational studies suggest that inferior vena cava filter placement in pulmonary embolism patients complicated with congestive heart failure, mechanical ventilation, and shock may have a mortality benefit. We sought to analyze the survival benefits of inferior vena cava filter in pulmonary embolism patients complicated with acute myocardial infarction, acute respiratory failure, shock, or requiring treatment with thrombolytics. Methods: This retrospective observational study used hospital discharge data from the National Inpatient Sample Data (NIS). ICD-9-CM coding was used to identify complicated pulmonary embolism patients (N = 254,465) in NIS from 2002 to 2014, including the subgroups of acute myocardial infarction, acute respiratory failure, shock, and thrombolytics. Inferior vena cava filter recipients were 1:1 propensity score-matched on age, sex, race, deep vein thrombosis, Elixhauser comorbidities, and other pulmonary embolism comorbidities (45 covariates) to non-inferior vena cava filter recipients in complicated pulmonary embolism patients and separately in each subgroup. Clinical outcomes were compared between the inferior vena cava filter group and the non-inferior vena cava filter group. Results: Mortality rate in complicated pulmonary embolism patients with inferior vena cava filter placement was lower (20.9% vs. 33%; NNT = 8.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 7.91-8.69, E-value = 2.53) and in the subgroups; acute myocardial infarction (17.9% vs. 30.1%; NNT = 8.19, 95% CI 7.52-8.92, E-value = 2.76), acute respiratory failure (19.5% vs. 29.7%; NNT = 9.76, 95% CI 8.67-11.16, E-value = 2.38), shock (30.7% vs. 47.1%; NNT = 6.08, 95% CI 5.73-6.47, E-value = 2.43), and with the use of thrombolytics (7% vs. 12.9 %; NNT 17.1, 95% CI 14.88-20.12, E-value = 3.01) (p < 0.001 for all). Conclusion: Inferior vena cava filter placement in pulmonary embolism complicated with acute myocardial infarction, acute respiratory failure, shock, or requiring thrombolytic therapy was associated with reduced mortality.
