Dual-chamber pacing or ventricular backup pacing in patients with an implantable defibrillator: the Dual Chamber and VVI Implantable Defibrillator (DAVID) Trial.

Bruce L. Wilkoff, +98 more
- 25 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: For patients with standard indications for ICD therapy, no indication for cardiac pacing, and an LVEF of 40% or less, dual-chamber pacing offers no clinical advantage over ventricular backup pacing and may be detrimental by increasing the combined end point of death or hospitalization for heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Percutaneous Pacemaker and Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Lead Extraction in 100 Patients With Intracardiac Vegetations Defined by Transesophageal Echocardiogram

TL;DR: Patients with intracardiac vegetations identified on transesophageal echocardiogram can safely undergo complete device extraction using standard percutaneous lead extraction techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pacemaker and defibrillator lead extraction.

TL;DR: Complication rates remain low but constant with extraction of larger numbers of leads using new technologies, and design of leads that are easier to remove remains of paramount importance.
