Introduction Lead failures (LFs) are one of the most common complications in patients implanted with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices. LFs often cause serious secondary complications such as inappropriate ICD shocks or asystole. This study aimed to identify the clinical factors associated with the occurrence of LFs. Methods A total of 735 consecutive device implantations (mean age 67 ± 15 years, males 64%) performed at a single university hospital setting from 1997 to 2014 were included. The implanted devices consisted of 421 pacemakers, 250 implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), 9 cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers (CRT-P), and 55 CRT defibrillators (CRT-D). The primary endpoint was the development of an LF. Results During a mean duration of 5.8 ± 4.3 years, 38 LFs developed in 31 patients (mean age 56 ± 14 years). LFs included 32 ICD (7 Sprint Fidelis, 2 Riata), and 6 pacing leads. Nine patients received inappropriate ICD shocks and 1 had syncope due to an LF. All patients underwent lead reinsertions with device replacements. Eight patients required opposite site implantations due to venous occlusions. The predictive factors of LFs were the age, male sex, taller body length, ICD vs. pacemaker, lesser lead number, extra-thoracic puncture of the axillary vein vs. a cut-down of the cephalic vein, use of recalled leads and patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) and Brugada syndrome (BrS). Conclusion LFs occurred mainly with ICD leads. A lesser age, the puncture method, lead model, and diagnosis of IVF/BrS were associated with the development of LFs.

Background: Protocols on the use of novel oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing electrical cardioversion (ECV) are lacking. Aim: The study was aimed at evaluating the efficacy of dabigatran (Dabi) treatment in preventing peri-ECV stroke. Methods: A retrospective survey of the incidence and fate of left atrial (LA) thrombus during Dabi therapy in patients with AF was conducted between December 2012 and January 2013 by the Japanese Heart Rhythm Society. Results: A total of 198 patients from 299 institutions underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to rule out LA thrombus before ECV. Of these, LA thrombus was found in eight patients (4%), who tended to be older (67.3 vs. 61.3 years, p=0.175), had higher CHADS<inf>2</inf> scores (1.88 vs. 0.95, p=0.058), and a higher prevalence of prior stroke or transient ischemic attack (22.2% vs. 2.6%, p=0.034) than those without LA thrombus. Of the eight patients with LA thrombus, one had LA thrombus during a Dabi 150 mg b.i.d treatment, whereas the remaining seven were receiving 110 mg b.i.d for 3 weeks or longer. In 6 of the 8 patients with LA thrombus, a second TEE was performed, revealing complete resolution of LA thrombus in five; among these five patients, one received Dabi dosage of 150 mg b.i.d unchanged, two received an increased dosage from 110 mg to 150 mg b.i.d, and two were switched to warfarin. Two patients had a stroke 3 and 15 days after ECV, and one had a major large intestine bleeding episode during Dabi therapy. Conclusions: LA thrombus developed in 4% of patients with AF receiving Dabi. Older patients with a higher CHADS<inf>2</inf> score receiving a lower Dabi dosage were more likely to develop LA thrombus, which was resolved with a prolonged or increased dosage. A higher Dabi dosage may be more beneficial before ECV but prospective randomized studies would be needed to confirm these results.

　View Summary

Aims Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on non-thermal injury mediated by singlet oxygen species and is used clinically in cancer therapy. In our continuing efforts to apply this technology to cardiac catheter ablation, we clarified the optimal condition for creating PDT-mediated lesions using a laser catheter. Methods and results In a total of 35 canines, we applied a laser directly to the epicardium of the beating heart during open-chest surgery at 15 min after administration of a photosensitizer, talaporfin sodium. We evaluated the lesion size (depth and width) using hematoxylin-eosin staining under varying conditions as follows: laser output (5, 10, 20 W/cm2), irradiation time (0-60 s), photosensitizer concentration (0, 2.5, 5 mg/kg), blood oxygen concentration (103.5 ± 2.1 vs. 548.0 ± 18.4 torr), and contact force applied during irradiations (low: <20 g, high: >20 g). A laser irradiation at 20 W/cm2 for 60 s under 5 mg/kg (29 μg/mL) of photosensitizer induced a lesion 8.7 ± 0.8 mm deep and 5.2 ± 0.2 mm wide. The lesion size was thus positively correlated to the laser power, irradiation time, and photosensitizer concentration, and was independent of the applied contact force and oxygen concentration. In addition, the concentration of the photosensitizer strongly correlated with the changes in the pulse oximetry data and fluorescence of the backscattering laser, suggesting that a clinically appropriate condition could be estimated in real time. Conclusion Photodynamic therapy-mediated cardiac lesions might be controllable by regulating the photosensitizer concentration, laser output, and irradiation time.
