Follow-up X rays play a key role in detecting implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead fracture: a case of incessant inappropriate shocks due to lead fracture.

A patient with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) received incessant inappropriate shocks due to a lead fracture 3 years after implantation. Routine lead measurements at 3-month intervals had shown no abnormal findings even at the most recent measurement performed 2 months prior to the event. In contrast, serial observation of chest X rays clearly disclosed progressive lead narrowing starting 11 months prior to the event. This case indicates the importance of the routine chest X rays in long-term follow-up of ICDs and sets a precedent for interpreting lead narrowing in such X rays.

[Delayed paraparesis after osteoporotic vertebral fracture--with special reference between mechanism of symptoms, fracture level, age and operative methods].

We examined the operated 53 cases with delayed paraparesis after osteoporotic vertebral fracture. The causes of the symptoms were complicated and the analysis indicated that the anterior approach should be the first choice, however the posterior approach could be indicated for the following cases ; the main causes are posterior elements, multiple involvement, at middle and lower lumbar level, with severe osteoporosis, with systemic complication, over 80 years old. For high aged and osteoporotic patients, careful analysis of factors causing symptoms and less invasive operation as possible are needed.
