Summary
Temporary epicardial pacing wires are crucial for postoperative cardiac support. Retained wires, though rare, can migrate, posing risks like intra-aortic migration, which requires radiologist awareness.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Medical Imaging
- Critical Care Medicine
Background:
- Temporary epicardial pacing wires are standard in postoperative care to manage bradyarrhythmias and maintain hemodynamic stability.
- While generally safe, complications can arise during removal or from retained wires.
