Figure 1 PA radiographs of a patient with a pacemaker (left) and ICD (right) are shown. Arrow A shows the right ventricular lead of the pacemaker which does not have a radiodense coil. Arrow B shows the right ventricular lead of the ICD. If the anticipated use of electrosurgery can be limited to short bursts, it may be reasonable to have a magnet handy should long periods of pacemaker inhibition be observed. On the other hand if the surgical procedure will either use extensive periods of electrosurgery and/or the position of the patient would preclude being able to rapidly place a magnet over the pulse generator, we recommend that the operative team place the magnet over the pulse generator. For surgical sites of lower Table 8 Specific procedures and writing committee recommendations on postoperative CIED evaluation #This evaluation is intended to reveal electrical reset. Therefore, an interrogation alone is needed. This can be accomplished in person or by remote telemetry. *Significant: The relationship is considered to be “significant” if (1) the person receives $10,000 or more during any 12-month period or 5% or more of the person’s gross income; or (2) the person owns 5% or more of the voting stock or share of the entity or owns $10,000 or more of the fair market value of the entity. A relationship is considered to be “modest” if it is less than “significant” under the preceding definition. Appendix 1 = Author disclosures Appendix 2.
