Adverse Events of MRI With Abandoned Leads
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of MRI scanning in patients with fractured or abandoned endocardial leads. Specifically, the investigators aim to provide community-acquired data that can be used in Medicare and Medicaid coverage determinations and to investigate whether patients with fractured or abandoned leads can safely be scanned using an MRI and to evaluate the impact of MRI availability on patient care in this population. This study also aims to validate similar studies conducted by Mayo Clinic, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins Medicine that employ MRI in the abandoned lead patient population.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of Adverse Events related to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in patients with abandoned or fractured pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) leads [2 hours]
Determine the incidence of adverse events during MRIs in patients with abandoned or fractured leads who have a clinical need for MRI via patient questionnaire and reported observation by technologist and electrophysiology physician or advance practice provider. Adverse events include but are not limited to: Atrial fibrillation Ventricular arrhythmias Frequent premature ventricular contractions with hemodynamic instability Symptomatic bradycardia with heart rate less than 40 beats per minute Shortness of breath Chest pain Feeling of heat/pulling in the chest or device pocket
