| Popis: | In this article we discuss two cases that highlight possible complications of cardiac device implantation. In particular, our first case involves a patient who, during implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation, sustained injuries to her subclavian artery and vein and subsequently developed a self-resolving neuropraxia of the brachial plexus. In our second case, the patient, also during ICD implantation, had his left cephalic vein nicked during cutdown. Post-op he then developed a hematoma-induced left brachial plexus injury that also eventually self-resolved. A literature search has not shown other incidences of iatrogenic brachial plexus injuries from ICD implantation as described. |
