[Venous thrombosis as a complication of pacemaker implantation--own observations].
Thrombosis is a fairly rare, yet dangerous complication of pacemaker implantation. It may occur in various time intervals after the actual implantation procedure. The risk factors are as follows: inflammation or injury, vein anomalies, arrhythmia, venous stenosis. The aim of the study was to assess the risk factors for venous thrombosis, determine the interrelationship between venous thrombosis and the level of select inflammatory and pro-thrombotic factors, as well as to evaluate the actual impact of pacemaker implantation procedure within a group of patients with permanent heart stimulation system. ⋯ In patients with more than 5 thrombosis risk factors, the increased levels of IL-6, hsCRP, fibrinogen, D-dimers, TF and PAI-1 were observed. A pacemaker implantation procedure is believed to increase both thrombotic and inflammatory state in a patient for up to 7 days after the procedure. In patients prone to thrombosis, a negative correlation between the ejection fraction and the levels of hsCRP, D-dimers, TF and PAI-1 were observed.
