Accidental Snapping of Right Ventricular Pacing Lead with MICRA

Leadless Pacemaker implantation rates are increasing worldwide. These pacemakers have to be deployed, captured and redeployed in order to achieve optimal electric parameters. Various complications occur during this procedure. We herein report a unique case, where right ventricular (RV) pacing lead o...

Sumario:Leadless Pacemaker implantation rates are increasing worldwide. These pacemakers have to be deployed, captured and redeployed in order to achieve optimal electric parameters. Various complications occur during this procedure. We herein report a unique case, where right ventricular (RV) pacing lead of the patient was accidently snapped with the tines during deployment of intracardiac pacemaker in an elderly male with pocket site infection.
