    IT WAS REPORTED THAT FOUR DAYS POST-IMPLANT, THE RIGHT VENTRICULAR (RV) LEAD WAS FOUND TO HAVE DISLODGED AS NOTED ON AN X-RAY PHOTO OF THE PATIENT'S CHEST. IN ADDITION, THE RV LEAD EXHIBITED INCREASED THRESHOLD. WHEN THE PATIENT SAT DOWN, THE MEASUREMENTS CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY, SHOWING THE LEAD'S INSTABILITY. DUE TO THE PATIENT'S STATURE, THE PHYSICIAN ELECTED TO USE A FIXATION LEAD.
