Abstract
The CardioMEMS™ system remotely monitors changes in pulmonary artery pressures, which allows for early detection of heart failure worsening. It is a safe and reliable invasive monitoring system. We report a case in which there was a late migration of the device at 6 months of follow-up to the contralateral pulmonary artery. The mechanisms, consequences, and management of device migration are discussed. To our knowledge, there are very few published data on late sensor migration.
期刊介绍:
Research advances have contributed to improved outcomes across all specialties, but the rate of advancement in cardiology has been exceptional. Concurrently, the population of patients with cardiac conditions continues to grow and greater public awareness has increased patients" expectations of new drugs and devices. Future Cardiology (ISSN 1479-6678) reflects this new era of cardiology and highlights the new molecular approach to advancing cardiovascular therapy. Coverage will also reflect the major technological advances in bioengineering in cardiology in terms of advanced and robust devices, miniaturization, imaging, system modeling and information management issues.
