MODERN STATE OF COMPROMISED ENDOCARDIAL ELECTRODE REMOVAL FOR ARRHYTHMIA ELECTROTHERAPY

Abstract

Modem development of invasive arrhythmology is favorable for removal of problematic endocardial electrode removal in a great majority of cases. However such factors as increased average life expectancy of population, annual increase in absolute number of implantations, emergence of more difficult heart-implanted electronic devices, and together with it and average quantity of the implanted electrodes, maintain the most specified interest to the mentioned subject. The statistics, indications, the main surgical techniques, complications of the procedure of endocardial electrode removal are covered in the review
