    IT WAS REPORTED THAT AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO EXPLANT THE 6949 RIGHT VENTRICULAR (RV) LEAD, BUT IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO INSERT A STYLET PAST THE SUBCLAVIAN. THE LEAD WAS CUT AND CAPPED, DUE TO PATIENT AGE AND CO-MORBIDITIES. A 6947 LEAD WAS THEN ATTEMPTED TO BE IMPLANTED AS A REPLACEMENT, BUT THERE WAS DIFFICULTY IN MANEUVERING THE LEAD, AND IT WAS NOT IMPLANTED. A SECOND 6947 LEAD WAS IMPLANTED AS THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE 6949 LEAD, AND IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE WAS DIFFICULTY DURING ITS IMPLANT. THE SECOND 6947 LEAD REMAINS IN USE. NO PATIENT COMPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS A RESULT OF THIS EVENT.
