What else can I help you with?
What complications occur with an old pacemaker leads left in a body after the pacemaker is replaced?
the answer is in the question. if the pacemaker is replaced the leads are used for it.
What monitoring is done after a pacemaker has been implanted?
Once the procedure is complete, the patient's vital signs are monitored and a chest x ray is taken to ensure that the pacemaker and leads are properly positioned.
How do the procedures for temporary and permanent pacing systems differ?
The implantation procedure for the pacemaker leads is similar to that for a permanent pacing system, but the actual pacemaker unit housing the pulse generator remains outside the patient's body.
What does the term Oscar active fixation leads mean regarding radiology?
It should be Oscor active fixation leads. It refers to the leads of a pacemaker.
What kind of pacemaker has leads going to the right atrium and the left ventricle?
Dual.
What is the name of the electrodes that are placed into the atrium and or ventricle of the heart when a pacemaker is inserted?

What is the pacemaker made of?
A pacemaker is a small device, about the size of a wristwatch, that helps regulate the heart rate. The pacemaker is made of two main parts - the leads and the generator. The leads are thin wires that connect the heart with the generator. The leads can be attached to the surface of the heart or passed through a vein inside the heart. The lead is then attached to the generator. The generator is a small metal case that includes a battery and a microcomputer, which is the "brain" of the pacemaker. The generator is sutured under the skin in the upper chest or abdomen.
How safe is face plastic surgery?
"Face plastic surgery is generally a safe procedure. To ensure safety, it is important for the patient to seek out a board certified plastic surgeon. However, while face plastic surgery may be relatively safe, it is still an imperfect procedure that often leads to results the patient was not expecting, such as an unnatural looking cheek implant."
What is the description for cpt 33235?
CPT code 33235 refers to the implantation of a permanent pacemaker, specifically a dual-chamber pacemaker. This procedure involves placing a device that helps regulate the heartbeat by sending electrical impulses to the heart when it detects an abnormal rhythm. It includes the insertion of the pulse generator and leads into the heart's chambers, typically the right atrium and right ventricle. This code is used for billing and documentation purposes in medical settings.
What is the average lifespan of a person with pacemaker?
7-10 years depending on the amount (1,2 or 3) of leads attached to it and how hard the pacemaker has to work to send electrical signals to the heart.
What are the main components of a implantable cardioverter-defibrillator?
Similar in structure to a pacemaker, an ICD has three main components: a generator, leads, and an electrode
