摘要：

Disruption of a permanent transvenous catheter within cardiac chambers is an unusual cause of pacemaker failure. The use of open cardiotomy for removal of the fractured catheter avoids the potential complications seen in the case reported, namely dislodgement of thrombi, and tricuspid valve damage secondary to fibrous tissue fixation of the fractured transvenous pacing catheter to the tricuspid valve. Disruption of a permanent transvenous electrode catheter can occur even if the stainless steel stylet, used for positioning, has been removed. © 1969.
