    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT COMPLAINED OF SHORTNESS OF BREATH WHILE WALKING. IT WAS ALSO REPORTED THAT PRIOR TO THIS COMPLAINT THE DAY AFTER THE IMPLANT PROCEDURE THE RIGHT VENTRICULAR (RV) LEAD HAD NO CAPTURE, HIGH IMPEDANCE, SMALL R WAVES AND HIGH THRESHOLDS. THE RV LEAD WAS REPOSITIONED AND IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT A MICRO PERFORATION OCCURRED. AFTER THE COMPLAINT OF SHORTNESS OF BREATH ANOTHER REVISION WAS ATTEMPTED. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAST REVISION AND THE SENSING ISSUE BOTH THE RV LEAD AND DEVICE WERE EXPLANTED AND REPLACED. WHEN THE RV LEAD WAS EXAMINED OUT OF THE BODY, THE TIP OF THE LEAD WAS MUCH STIFFER THAN USUAL. NO FURTHER PATIENT COMPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS A RESULT OF THIS EVENT.
