Resumo
Fundamento. Nas últimas décadas, o número de dispositivos eletrônicos cardíacos implantáveis (DECI) aumentou consideravelmente, assim como a necessidade de remoção destes. Neste contexto, a remoção percutânea apresenta-se como uma técnica segura e capaz de evitar uma cirurgia cardíaca convencional. Objetivos. Primário: Descrever a taxa de sucesso e complicações da remoção percutânea de DECI em um hospital público brasileiro. Secundário: Estabelecer fatores associados ao sucesso e complicações. Métodos. Serie de casos retrospectiva de todos pacientes submetidos a remoção de DECI em um hospital público brasileiro no período de janeiro/2012 a junho/2018. Remoção, explante, extração de eletrodos foram definidos conforme a última diretriz norte-americana. As definições desta diretriz também foram seguidas para definir as complicações e desfechos do procedimento. Variáveis categóricas foram comparadas pelos testes Qui-quadrado/Exato de Fisher, enquanto variáveis continuas por testes não pareados de Student/Mann- Whitney. O p-valor de 0,05 foi considerado estatisticamente significativo. Resultados. 61 pacientes foram submetidos a remoção de DECI, sendo 51 extrações e 10 explantes. No total 128 eletrodos foram removidos. Taxa de sucesso clínico foi 100% no grupo do explante e 90,2% no da extração(p=0,58). Complicações maiores foram encontradas em 7,8% dos pacientes submetidos à extração, enquanto que no grupo do explante não foram encontradas(p=1,0). Falha do procedimento foi associada a eletrodos de ventrículo(p=0,05) e átrio(p=0,04) direito mais antigos e a menor tempo de internação após o procedimento(p=0,027). Duração do procedimento(p=0,003) foi associado a maior índice de complicação. Conclusão. A remoção percutânea é um procedimento seguro, com taxa de sucesso de 91,8% e complicações maiores de 6,6%. Remoções de eletrodos de atriais e ventriculares mais antigos e menor tempo de internação após o procedimento estiveram associados a menores taxa de sucesso. Enquanto que complicações estiveram associada a procedimentos mais longos e a presença de transfusão sanguínea.
Background. In the last decades, the number of cardiac electronic devices have risen considerably and consequently, this have led to more device removal. Transvenous lead removal appears in this situation as a safe procedure that can avoid an open-heart surgery. Aim. The primary objective of this study was to describe the success and complication rates of pacemaker removal in a Brazilian public hospital. Our secondary aim was to describe which variables were associated to success and complications. Methods. We performed a retrospective case series in patients submitted to a pacemaker removal in a Brazilian public hospital from January 2012 to June 2018. Removal, explant and extraction definitions were based on the last Heart Rhythm Society Guideline. Definition of success and complication also followed this guideline. Categorical variables were compared using x2 or Fisher’s tests, while continuous variables by unpaired tests of Student/Mann-Whitney. A P-value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. A cardiac device removal was performed in 61 patients in which 51 were submitted to lead extraction and 10 to lead explant. In total, 128 leads were removed. Our clinical success was 100% in the explant group and 90.2% in the extraction one(p=0.58). Major complications were present in 7.8% patients submitted to extraction, but they were not presented in the explant group(p=1.0). Procedure failure was associated to older right ventricular(p=0.05) and atrial(p=0.04) leads and to shorter hospital stay after the procedure(p=0.027). Procedure duration(p=0.003) was associated to more complications. Conclusion. Percutaneous lead removal is a safe procedure with success rate of 91.8% and major complications of 6.6%. Older ventricle and atrial leads and shorter in hospital stay were associated to lower success, whereas transfusion and longer procedures were associated to complications.
