Inferior vena cava thrombosis due to migration of retained functionless pacemaker electrode
Chest.
1982 Dec.
Abstract
Thrombosis of the inferior vena cava due to migration of a pacing wire has not been published previously. We describe such a complication due to migration of a retained pacemaker electrode. The distal cut end of the wire was found looped at the level of thrombosis of the inferior vena cava. The patient was treated initially with heparin and placed later on coumadin. Currently, he is doing well without any evidence of thromboembolism.
