Phrenic nerve injury after cardiac surgery is a well-recognized complication, and its reported incidence, estimated by electrophysiologic or radiologic techniques, varies from 10 to 85%. 1-5 The most specific method for the assessment of phrenic nerve function is transcutaneous phrenic nerve stimulation, 6 and a number of electrophysiologic ...

- Unexpected Cardiac Arrest After Cardiac Surgery
The phrenic nerve stimulation is a complication of a pacemaker implantation. This symptom is generally not very severe, and therefore not well known by general practitioners. The management of it is usually noninvasive.
20 Αυγ 2023 · Phrenic nerve injury, such as may occur from cardiothoracic surgery, can lead to diaphragmatic paralysis or dysfunction. The presentation of phrenic nerve injury is non-specific, and the diagnosis may easily be missed.
6 Απρ 2013 · Phrenic nerve injury is a well-recognised complication of cardiac surgery that can lead to disabling effects from diaphragmatic dysfunction, especially in children and patients with a history of chronic obstructive airway disease.

1 Νοε 2013 · Phrenic nerve injury is common in cardiac surgery involving use of ice slush. It is therefore preferable to use more modern cardioplegia techniques instead of ice slush. Phrenic nerve injury is also a risk in coronary artery bypass surgery where the IMA is used as conduit.
pacemaker lead in close proximity to the phrenic nerve. To prevent phrenic stimulation, a silastic patch can be sewn over the area of the pacing electrode to shield it from the nerve. This simple technique prevents dia-phragm contraction and has not interfered with long-term pacemaker lead function. (Ann Thorac Surg 2003;76:1757–8)
