Abstract

A 52-year-old female presented with pain and swelling owing to recurrent inflammation on a generator pocket. She had undergone a permanent pacemaker implantation (DDD type) 7 years previously. We planned to insert a new pacemaker after removal of the previous generator and wires through a surgical approach. However, she had a history of the left modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with radiation therapy for breast cancer. For this patient, it would be difficult to care for the postoperative wound if we approached via the median sternotomy. Therefore, we decided to use a right atrial approach via a right thoracotomy. We removed the previous pacing wires through an atriotomy and inserted a new pacemaker using epicardial pacing leads without cardiopulmonary bypass.

완전 방실 차단으로 우측 쇄골하 정맥을 통해 영구심박동기를 삽입한 52세 여자환자가 영구심박동기 발생장치(generator) 삽입 부위의 반복적인 감염을 주소로 내원하였다. 환자는 24년 전 유방암으로 좌측 변형근치유방절제술(Modified radical mastectomy, MRM)과 방사선 치료로 주변 조직의 심한 변화가 있었다. 이로 인해 정중 흉골 절개는 불가능할 것으로 판단하여 우측 개흉 술을 계획하였고, 개흉 후 체외순환 없이 우심방을 절개한 후 심박동기 와이어를 제거하고 새로운 심외막 와이어로 영구심박동기를 삽입하였다.
