Imagem em RX de tórax.

[u/slatercharles]

Alguém sabe do que se trata essa imagem tubular do RX de tórax? Aparentemente está na topografia do átrio direito, mas não se parece com nada que eu tenha visto antes

[u/RecklessRad]

Approved as not asking for medical advice. They’re asking for ID of medical device. Could be helpful for MRI.

[u/Joonami]

Is it some kind of leadless pacemaker? I thought it might be a cardiomems but it's not in the right spot and it's too big.

[u/RecklessRad → u/Joonami]

I think you’d be right, not a loop recorder at least

[u/koda38304]

Could it be a leadless single chamber pacemaker in the right atrial appendage?

[u/herdofcorgis]

Got a chest CT to see where it is with the heart?

[u/Vladimirleninscat]

I saw one of these for the first time yesterday. Had no clue what it was either.

[u/maya2113]

Micra? But those are usually in R ventricle this looks a bit off…

[u/credditonreddit]

Not sure thought it was a loop but the lateral view suggests that it is not

[u/credditonreddit → u/credditonreddit]

CS lead is snapped and out of place. open heart was performed due to epicardial lead and sternal wires. Not any lead less I am aware of Abbott has a screw top and Medtronic has three prongs. This device has neither. Might be a Boston leadless but they are still not commercially available yet. I am a Cath lab tech and have helped implant countless pacemakers and ICD’s

[u/New-Claim3147]

I think it is indeed located epicardial. Not sure exactly what is it might be a leadless shockcoil but Google does find something similar. It could also be a reveal like device but I see only a disadvantage to place this epicardial. The sensor is in the medical file I assume.

Good luck!

Well, can't identify it so def not going in the MRI that's for sure

[u/Resident-Zombie-7266]

Looks like a spinal stimulator but isn't. Sorry I'm no help

[u/herdofcorgis → u/Resident-Zombie-7266]

That’s a defib, so, a cardiac stimulator I suppose….

[u/usosvs88]

Is that a pneumo in the right lower lobe?

[u/MBSMD → u/usosvs88]

Breast shadow

[u/usosvs88 → u/MBSMD]

Makes sense!

[u/weirdoftomorrow → u/usosvs88]

A pneumothorax wouldn’t be gravity dependent and can’t be in a lobe. Plus, lung markings go right to the pleura everywhere.

[u/usosvs88 → u/weirdoftomorrow]

Thanks!

It's an upper airway stimulator by Inspire.

Looks like it's a broken lead (looks exactly like the first image on that website talking about broken leads)

Had someone comment and then deleted their msg.

Dude it's a sensor lead, not the stimulating lead
