Document Details : Title: Extensive asymptomatic pulmonary air embolism during CRT-implantation Author(s): A. Stein , H. Vražić , V. Semmler , C. Kolb Journal: Acta Cardiologica Volume: 67 Issue: 5 Date: 2012 Pages: 593-594 DOI: 10.2143/AC.67.5.2174136 Abstract : This report presents a case of pulmonary air embolism during implantation of a cardiac resynchronisation therapy system. For left ventricular pacing the thinnest available coronary sinus lead was used in association with a standard subclavian vein introducer sheath. It is hypothesised that the difference of size between the small lead diameter and the subclavian vein introducer sheath may have predisposed to air entry into the venous system. |
