RESUMO
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation is known to be a safe procedure. However, inappropriate lead insertion can lead to serious complications. We present a case where an inappropriate lead placement resulted in puncturing the lung parenchyma, and successful management of the lead-related pneumothorax through thoracoscopic lead removal and partial lung resection. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
RESUMO
The transcollateral approach is a contemporary crossing technique for treating infrapopliteal chronic occlusion. However, in the setting of critical limb ischemia with multilevel disease, angiographically occult collateral vessels may be missed as a treatment opportunity. Herein, we report the potential of using occult collateral vessels for transcollateral intervention in infrapopliteal chronic occlusion.
